why people abuse animals

According to some study's that there has been people who abuse animals don't do it on purpose. They either don't think about what they are doing. And they don't realize of the harm that they are causing the harm that they are doing. And again many of the people that abuse animals don't know what animal cruelty is. And the sad part about this is people don't see how much animal cruelty is at there. It's actually a really big problem. Well I feel like it is because cruelty shouldn't be done on anybody. and including animals.
