You can go further to discourage such sports as dog fighting, cockfighting, bullfighting, fox hunting, etc., on social media and in your family and social gatherings.
There are cases where the abused dog loses its life.
You may request your veterinarian to perform an autopsy on the animal.
The examinations carried out by vets provide information that is important to support the evidence you have about the abuse and the cause of death.
Animal abusers are more likely to cause harm and be violent with humans too.
This is why the issue of animal cruelty should be taken seriously.
