Cruelty to animals refers to treatment or standards of care that cause unwarranted or unnecessary
suffering or
harm to animals. Standards of both animal cruelty legislation, and enforcement, may vary between different places from non-existent through to comprehensive, and the acts and conditions which are deemed "cruel" also vary. Opinions are divided whether practices such as
factory farming,
fur farming and
animal testing of medical procedures and consumer products pose a major
moral issue.
