Who does animal cruelty effect?
The question is probably “Who does animal cruelty AFFECT”. Still, here are some ideas – you’ll be able to find supporting evidence easily on the net if you need it, or maybe you are allowed to make assertions: People it affects – people being cruel (brutalises, desensitises, makes more likely to be cruel to other people), people who witness cruelty (upsets, frightens, disgusts, turns into activists or desensitises etc, see above), people who benefit from cruelty – cruel behaviour to animals is either wanton, for sport or through carelessness, or deliberate but in recognition of the benefits (experimentation, necessity, riding a tired horse to save your life if being pursued).
