Both genres are really good examples for animals abuse. It is really sad what people capable to do with innocent animals. Fortunately, lots of countries have laws against these horrible people who hurt animals, however this is still not enough. Animals should have more protection from abusing. However, it is so hard to protect them because there are already laws but people who want to hurt animals, they are going to find a way. The best law would be to punish the person with what he did. Forcing animals to fight or keeping them in cages should be illegal because it kills off one more animal from the Earth.
