animal abuse

I can't understand why or what the reasoning is to abuse animals and pets. Not sure how a man in Fremount, IA can beat the family pet to death with a frying pan. Or the countless issues of starving pets and other abuses that go on. very sad. I know the world has bigger issues but “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Mahatma Gandhi.
