"Animal Abuse and Cruelty" By Andrew Santoyo

     Two men that go by the names of Boots Stanley and Steven Sadler were taken into custody by police in August 2016 for a gruesome act towards a dog. They were reportedly found abusing and torturing a 4 year old dog at Bastrop Kill Pen in Arkansas.

     Animal abuse happens national and worldwide. Most common animals that are getting abused are 70.1% of dogs, 20.9% of cats, and 24.1% of other animals. Dogfighting, cockfighting or any other way of animal cruelty continues in many areas of the United States.

     The past 25 years, psychology, sociology, and criminology had found a connection between animal cruelty and human violence. They say that most serial killers had killed or tortured animals as children. Other forms of violence that come from killing or torturing a dog are child abuse, spouse abuse, and elder abuse. Surveys say that most people who intentionally abuse animals are men under 30, but animal hoarders are more likely to be women over 60.

     On August 26th 2016, Boots Stanley and Steven Sadler were under arrest after they had posted a video on Snapchat that gone viral of two Arkansas men torturing and ended up killing a 4 year old dog.
