I think animal abuse is cruelty. It is so rude to hit animals beacuase they are harmless animals it is not right to hit an animal just because you feel like it.For example:dogs are a persons bestfriend they are playful,huggable and cute.Sometimes they are cute mostly everybody loves them.Yet people still find it right to hit,kick,stab and starve to death also kill them.Sometimes it is for no good reason .They say 70 percent of animal abusers have records of other crimes .
A child growing up in the U.S is more likely to have a pet the a live at home farther.

I like how you made the paragraph a persuasive writing piece to convince us to stop killing animals. I also liked how you gave an example by using the dog to help your example.
