A quick definition of cruelty to animals:

Cruelty to animals is when someone hurts or causes an animal to feel pain or suffer. This is against the law in many places and can be punished with fines or even going to jail. It's important to treat animals with kindness and give them the things they need, like food and water, to live a good life.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cruelty to animals is when someone intentionally or carelessly causes an animal to suffer or die. This is considered a crime in many places, and the laws can vary depending on where you live. For example:

  • In Georgia, it's a crime to cause an animal pain, suffering, or death. It's also a crime if you don't give an animal enough food or water.
  • In New York, it's a crime to overwork, beat, injure, or torture an animal.
  • In Connecticut, it's a crime to overwork, torture, mutilate, or starve an animal.

Some states consider it even worse if someone intentionally hurts or kills an animal. This is called aggravated cruelty to animals, and it's a felony.

Examples of cruelty to animals include beating a dog, leaving a cat without food or water for days, or intentionally running over a squirrel with a car. These actions cause pain and suffering to the animals, and are considered crimes in many places.
