Why do People abuse animals?

Why do people abuse animals? 

Who didn't hear about this case?!
The news about this poor dog found with electrical tape tightly wound around her muzzle!
Horror pictures for everyone that loves dogs!
Unbelievable what people do to animals! 
But why and what is going on in their heads?
I just think these people are monsters and don't deserve one day longer on this planet! 
I know for sure that many people think the same way like me. I tried to find answers to the questions online. 
Some psycho doctor's must have done some researches and tests. 
Questioned animal abuser?
Well, I found one that said!
There are three kinds of animal abuse!
1)  They say that most people don't even know that what they do is cruel.They don't think            about or realize what they doing.They don't do it on purpose.
     
Example: some people don't realize what kinds of shelter different animals need. They may keep the dog in their yard with a doghouse that is on the ground and gets flooded with water when it rains, or they keep their dog on a short chain all of the time
.
                Some people will try to keep their pet under control by using cruel types of                                 discipline. They may think that punishment and intimidation are the best ways to                     solve the problem. Other people are cruel because they don't pay attention. For example, someone might forget to give their cat water for a few days or leave their dog in a car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. Often these people know better, but they either forget or don't care enough to pay attention. Finally, some people hurt animals even though they think they're helping them.      

Example: some people have so many pets that they can't care for them all. These people                           are called hoarders, and they take in so many animals because they love them. Unfortunately, they can't care for all the animals they take in, and the animals end up living in a place that's cramped, dirty and unhealthy. Nearly all of these people can learn to               understand that they are being cruel through education and increasing their awareness of the needs of our animal neighbors. Since most of the people who abuse animals make up     this group, this means that most of the people who abuse animals can be helped with basic   education

2) The next biggest group of animal abusers do it on purpose but don't keep doing it for a long period of time. For example, a group of kids may decide to throw rocks at a nest of baby birds they happened to see, or they may hurt a stray cat in their neighborhood. These people are usually young, and they hurt animals because they aren't thinking, or because they can't stand up to their friends and peer pressure. The ones who aren't really thinking might be mad at someone else (like their parents) and kick their pet dog because they can't kick their parents. Or they may think it's fun to watch an animal run away scared, without really thinking about how the animal feels. The ones who are giving in to peer pressure might be trying to show off to their friends. Or they may be with a group of friends who are all trying to impress each other, and so they go along with what everyone else is doing. Intentionally hurting animals for any reason is serious. In most states, those caught doing this will face harsher punishment than those who hurt animals unintentionally. However, these people usually don't hurt animals more than a few times. They learn to think about how others feel, and they learn to stand up for themselves. This group can be helped through education and support, too

3) The last group of people who hurt animals are the worst. These are people who intentionally hurt animals because they enjoy hurting things, or because it makes them feel powerful. Many of these people would hurt other people if they could get away with it. They just choose to hurt animals because animals are more helpless than people. Why do these people hurt animals? There are different reasons. A lot of these people want to have control over others. They will hurt an animal because they think this means they control the animal. Or they may hurt the animal to control another person. For example, a husband might hurt the family's pet to show his wife what he could do to her if she doesn't obey his commands. Someone else might make his dog kill other dogs because he thinks that makes him powerful. Others simply enjoy pain and violence. Those who enjoy violence might also destroy inanimate objects as well as animals and people. All of the people in this last group suffer from serious, psychological problems that will probably not go away on their own. They often need the help of licensed professionals—like a psychologist. We are not 100% sure why people become like this—most are probably born with their problems, but others can get their problems from brain damage, poisonous environments, or by being treated badly themselves. Without help, the psychological problems these people have can haunt them for their whole lives. If you know anyone who you think may be like this, don't approach them yourself. Talk to a trusted adult, and let the adult find someone to help these people.
