Animal abuse means harming an innocent animal for various purposes. Remember harming an animal for self defense is not considered as cruelty but inflicting pain on them for your selfish gains is considered as animal abuse and countries are taking preventive measures to make sure it gets stopped. When you think of the term animal abuse, you think of an animal getting beaten by someone.
