Answer 1

94 percent of intentional animal cruelty incidents were committed by males.

· 31 percent of the animal cruelty incidents were committed by perpetrators age 18 and younger. (Four percent of those were under age 12).

· 21 percent of intentional animal cruelty cases also involved family violence.

Of all the animals abused in these cases, 76 percent of the cases involved companion animals, 12 percent farm animals, 7 percent wildlife, and 5 percent involved multiple types of animals. In 63 percent of all cases, animals were killed as a result of violence or euthanized due to extensive injuries.

"The high percentage of male teenagers perpetrating intentional acts of cruelty against animals, and the large number of cruelty cases in which animal cruelty and family violence coexisted, should be a red flag to anyone concerned about reducing violence in our society," said Claire Ponder, HSUS First Strike® Campaign Manager. "You don't have to be an animal lover to see that animal cruelty is a warning sign that an individual could be involved in other violent crimes and could pose a risk to family members as well as the larger community. Our best hope for preventing violence against both animals and people is early identification and intervention with violent perpetrators."
