A newly released report by the ASPCA reveals a significant disparity in reported cases of animal abuse in New York City, with 2,271 cases involving dogs compared to 408 for cats from 2013 to 2022. The majority of dog cases were due to neglect, while cat abuse is possibly more severe and likely underreported. The report highlights the need for increased awareness and research regarding cat cruelty, emphasizing collaboration between the ASPCA and NYPD to tackle this ongoing issue across the city.
Cruelty toward cats appears less well understood and may be under-reported or more severe, requiring further research and attention.
The continued prevalence of animal cruelty suggests that its causes are complex and pervasive.
