Overview
 In this entry it's all about the problems and solutions of animal abuse and how you can prevent the situation. 65 billion animals are used, abused, and killed every year (Animal Abuse Fact). Animal abuse is one of the biggest problems in our community. This problem is big because of how people grew up around hate and being abused so what they do is either take it out on the animals or the people. [|Puppy Mills] are also an issue because the owners don’t think about the well being of their pets; the only thing they care about is the profit they earn.toc

 Another big problem in animal abuse is [|animal slaughter factories], where they kill animals and ship them off for food. The thing about that is we need meat to survive, but it’s still wrong to kill animals just for our satisfaction, but if we didn’t kill those animals we would practically starve to death. In those factories they should try and cut back on the slaughter of those defenseless animals.

Also in neighborhoods there can be dog fights, which can also have an effect on the community because who wants a community that has dogs fights every night?. No one you want a peaceful community (Animal.) //

**Registries **
There are many solutions to animal abuse, like [|registries]. Registries are things people take if they get caught abusing an animal and the people who got caught can’t own any kind of pet again or they get a fine and possibly some jail time(Animal.)
