There are allot of ways you can help stop animal abuse, there are commercials with the sad animal puppy eyeing you and baby kitten upside down pawing the cage. Some people would start donating to websites or animal shelters . There are allot of ways to prevent animal abuse and keep your eyes open to the world around you and help out from time to time.
The issue is animal abuse and its a major issue for not just animals for humans as well, animals is a huge part in our live even when you don't think it is. Some times people will see an animal being abuse but has no clue to how to approach it or what to do about it.
Humane Society research:
Human service workers and animal protection workers must work together with law enforcement agencies to share resources and expertise in addressing the issue of animal violence. Although animal abusers rarely bring their animals in for care, other family members might. http://www.nhes.org/sections/view/330
Be aware of the signs of animal neglect—including chained dogs, animal hoarding, or abandoned pets—and be willing to make a report to your local animal control agency. If your town or city does not have a local animal control, you can make a report to the sheriff or other law enforcement agency. (You may remain anonymous when filing a report.)
Some neglect cases, when the owners' lack of resources and/or knowledge is the problem, can be resolved simply by educating the owner and working with them to adjust their animal's living conditions. For example, some communities have fence building projects for the owners of chained dogs who may not have enough money to build a fence. (This approach is usually more effective if you're well acquainted with or are on positive terms already with the person in question.) The HSUS also has free pamphlets on animal neglect and chaining that you can leave at doorsteps or pass out in your community.
In most cases, the education and monitoring of the neglect situation is best left to your community's law enforcement professionals."
