This is my list of causes of animal abuse and cruelty. On this page I am focusing on criminal abuse by the general public in homes and suburbs etc. rather than abuse on farms, animal testing, fox hunting and bull fighting etc. which is legalised abuse.

Note: I don’t show animal cruelty videos on this page. There is a brilliant petition going around at the moment on the causes.com website: Stop Youtube accepting and showing cruelty to animals. What is so impressive about it is that almost 500,000 people have signed up to it. The usual sort of numbers are …

You would have thought that the two would occupy opposite ends of the spectrum in respect of cat caretaking. But no. Here is an example of how the two diametrically opposed aspects of cat caretaking …
The quote in the title is direct from the man himself. He considers himself to be a moderate man and a fine family man. He gets upset when people don’t recognize that quality (see video below). I can understand that. It is upsetting. In order to keep a low profile myself, I shall keep …
