Types of Abuse
There are two types of animal abuse.
1. Intentional Abuse
This means doing something "You cannot do".
For example,
2. Neglect
This means not doing something "You are supposed to"
(Not feeding food or keeping it unchanged for days at a time, leaving nails and hair fully grown, etc.)
(Don't take them to veterinary care despite illness or injury)
(Feces and urine, loose hair, garbage, left behind, confined in a small cage, etc.)
Summary
When you hear the word "Abuse" you may think they are intentional.
However, not all abuse involves physical punishment. Not providing the proper care would also be considered abuse.
If you are entrusted with the "life" of an animal, you are responsible for the proper environment and care of the animal.
