There are numerous forms of animal cruelty in the world. The most talked about are in-home abuse/neglect (like dog fighting), and animal testing. Not many people stop to think about all those animals that are harmed in the food industry(that link has some eye-opening information about slaughter).
Have you ever stopped to think about all those traditional bull-fights in Spain? Those bulls have a prolonged, agonizing death--and worst of all, it's public.
When was the last time you gave so much as a fleeting thought to all the animals that are purposefully raised for their skins? Yes, we have synthetic fur nowadays, but there are companies who claim their fur is fake while using the real deal because consumers of the fake stuff want something that looks and feels real. In China, even cats and dogs are abused for fur.
Did you ever go to the circus and wonder how they get the animals to jump through fiery hoops and balance on balls? Through a process that includes painful punishments if they do not perform as expected as well as throughout the training process.
What about the killer whales that are forced to live in confined spaces at different theme parks? They become so distressed that they actually attack their trainers--those who are closest to them.
There are animals that are abused and go without any attention every day. Think about it.
