None of us has the moral high ground to condemn others for abusing their own animals.

List of Animal Abuse:
1. We confine our animals.
2. We feed and "take care" of our animals, making them lose the ability to survive without us.

For 310 reported rapes, 57 lead to arrest, 11 go to prosecutors, 7 convictions and 6 incarcerations.
