The FBI is now tracking cases involving animal abuse to find patterns and ways to help prevent animal abuse. Before cases of animal abuse where simply mashed together with other less serious crimes but now the FBI will have a dedicated database for animal cruelty like there is for murder and rape. The cases will be divided into four categories neglect, torture, and organized abuse. The database will also be open to local law enforcement and should help develop a better understanding of the correlation between animal abuse and child neglect and abuse, assault, murder, homicide, as well as finding where these events are more likely to occur. I am very glad the FBI is going to start this database as it is likely to save many animals and people from suffering further abuse.

I think people just thought that animal abuse wasn’t as big of a deal than human beings so then they never took it too seriously. I’m glad to see that the government has finally realized that it is a big deal and very much an issue that needs supervision and attention by people of authority.

Personally this is great news to me mainly because I love animals. Animals should not have to deal with abuse at all they’re equal if not more important than a basic human. I am all in for that plan about tracking animal abuse anywhere.

This is a great news. Animals are very helpful for human beings. It’s only right that they get the protection that they need and deserve.
