Abuse is everywhere. I was contemplating doing my project on domestic abuse, but now I'm starting to consider animal abuse. Did you know that by 2022, it's predicted that 22% of animal species will go extinct if action is not taken? Ranging from abuse owners, to dogfights, to illegal testing- abuse is happening everyday. The thought of my best friend, my loveable puppy getting hit day after day honestly breaks my heart. I believe it's completely necessary to do everything we can to put an end to this madness. Whether it be from signing a petition, to donating money, or not changing the channel every time one of those tragic "in the arms of an angel" commercials come on, anything you can do to help contributes to the greater change. I plan to aim this at people of all ages, it will be simply worded and the picture is the main focus. I want to either guilt people or at least touch their hearts so they see the pain and feel a need to reach out.

Most Common Victims
In media-reported animal cruelty cases, dogs—and pit bull-type dogs, in particular—are the most common victims of animal cruelty. Of 1,880 cruelty cases[|*] reported in the media in 2007:
 * 64.5% (1,212) involved dogs
 * 18% (337) involved cats
 * 25% (470) involved other animals
 * Reported abuse against pit bull-type dogs appears to be on the rise: in 2000–2001, pit bull-type dogs were involved in 13% of reported dog-abuse cases; in 2007, they were involved in 25% of reported dog-abuse cases.*some cases involved multiple species
