Starvation, neglect, and abandonment are at the top of the list. On cable animal planet I've seen dogs with the collar embedded in their neck, unbelievable.
Abuse by people other than the owner, I think beatings, broken bones and poisoning are outrageous.
Dog fighting is bad too.
I heard of cases where two male cats are hung from their tales and put together.

In some Asian countries dogs are hung from their hocks and skinned alive because they believe the meat is sweeter if the animal is prepped this way. Even here in North America many cattle and chickens are processed still alive. The reason this happens is that there's so many animals to process that many people can't keep up with the killings or they don't do the killings the way they should.
I know of one parrot abuse case in the USA - a bird was kept in an animal carrier in the basement with no light, food or water. The kids were allowed to go down and beat the carrier with baseball bats and the father was known to come down and kick the carrier, too. I can't remember if the carrier was one of those wire ones or one of the plastic ones. Either way, it was quite damaged when the bird was found. The bird received a broken skull at one point and it was never brought to the vet. The fracture blinded the bird in one eye and it had trouble seeing with another. I believe a wing got broken too. There is a permanent hole in its skull that has a thin layer of skin protecting it. Again, it was due to the untreated fracture. The good news is that the bird WAS rescued and the owners charged. The reason these people beat the bird like they did? They wanted it to shut up and they didn't like how loud it was >.< .
In Canada there was a kennel with 29 sled dogs. There were several complaints about the kennel but the situations complained about weren't considered 'bad' enough. Well, until the provincial vet got involved! When he went in with animal control officials, they discovered several dead dogs chained to their stakes and some of the dogs had been cannibalized because the entire kennel had NOT BEEN FED FOR 2 WEEKS! Some of the dead dogs were literal skeletons in the grass. The owners had been phoned several times and the vet even phoned to say he was coming for an inspection. The owners tried hiding the dead dogs by dragging them into a near by forest. The vet just followed the smell and the maggots. Some of the surviving dogs died on the vet exam table while others were so thin they were less than half their normal weight. The good news is that the owners will be charged like they should have been when the complaints came in ^.^ ! The bad news? They probably won't get more than 4 years jail time.
In some countries monkey brains are a delicacy. Monkey heads are cut open to expose the brain and the poor things are kept on hot plates to keep them jumping. Customers then come by and the keeper literally scoops their brain right out of the skull. (I think I'm gonna puke... I had several folks confirm this really happens!)
If we can't treat our own pets kindly, what hope do we have for our own species?

I have just read an article about a family who's dog jumped over into the neighbours yard. The man went into their yard to fetch the dog put the dog in the kennel and set it alight.
Another article is about a black man who's dog was always running in the streets, he tied the dog to the back of his car and draged it for about 4 kilometers behind the car.
And with both cases they just wanted to teach the animals a lesson they would not forget, they are both sitting in jail for animal abuse, and then they got the cheek to say what they did was humane, I laugh at that how would they like it if we did exactly that to them, we would put in jail, for attempted murder

i dont know of legal cases, but what i will never forget is a hidden camera film showing dogs being thrown in boiling water in Korea or China - as the huge kettle was getting full of them to the top, the water cooled down by their bodies and some of the dogs were trying to jump out, so their backs were boiling while they still alive and heads out of the pots. and this was viewed as perfectkly normal by the cookers.
when i was to Central America i say many parrots in cages with water that was never changed (i mean never ever) and with a rotting banana of other fruit as the only food ( i mean the only food) that was left in the cage untill it dissapeared by means of insects. when they die , they buy another one very cheap, who cares that they are dying out in the wild it just looks good in the cage for awhile
trade with endangered species generally - yeah who cares that more than half of the consignment die on the way and what happens to the rest, when the cost for obtaining the animals from wild is next to zero. it is just so cynical
