ANIMAL ABUSE

Animal abuse is used to describe any use or treatment of animals that seems unnecessarily cruel, regardless of whether the act is against the law.

In cases of wildlife or pets, these animals are more likely to be protected or are better protected than farmed animals under the law, that´s a real problem, because every animal are important, and has to be protected  the same way and power.

If cats, dogs or wild animals were treated the same as cows, pigs, and chickens in factory farms, the people involved would likely be convicted of animal cruelty.

Although Law 1774 of 2016 criminalizing animal abuse there are still gaps in the norm.
