Why does animal cruelity and child abuse happen? And why? Now, don't call me stupid. I just want to know your thoughts on child/animal abuse.

Because some creatures like hurting other creatures.

Because there are stupid and rude people. Why? Because they mad terrible life choices

They are:
Someone who doesn't have a soul
Someone who is a bully in there past
And someone that is a meanie

satan enters the minds and hearts of those people, and they only see children and animals as annoying inferior creatures

It's awful, the people whom do the abuseing must be heartless pricks.

Well, I do not know how to answer this question..... I suppose since people have horrible lives, they take it out on their children (of the same blood line, or not). *erases original answer in slight fear of rejection*

Because they are:
Drunk
Depressed and have no coping skills
Raised the same way
Or narcissistic.

Because people are stupid and have no education on life!!!!!!!!
*my opinion*

Because people think they are ready for the responsibility or think it's a good way to make money, such as having a child in a bad household or putting dogs in dogfights. It can also be because people need serious psychological help and or are insecure with themselves, trying to make themselves feel dominate over children and animals. Being a little hard on a child, imo, is OK if it's not too harsh and it's to help prepare them for the real world, or teach them a little discipline.
