Cruelty can be described as indifference to suffering, and even positive pleasure in inflicting it. Sadism can also be related to this form of action or concept.

Cruel ways of inflicting suffering may involve violence, but violence is not necessary for an act to be cruel. For example, if another person is drowning and begging for help, and another person is able to help, but merely watches with disinterest or perhaps mischievous amusement, that person is being cruel — rather than violent.

Cruelty usually carries connotations of supremacy over a submissive or weaker force.

A. Yea, there are tons of organizations out there, join them instead of starting another one. It is better to put the money in one place than in a bunch of small places that can't do as much then.

What can I do to help make progress to stop all kinds of animal cruelty around the world?
Q. I know that it is impossible to stop all animal cruelty over night. I also know that it is impossible for people to stop eating meat, buying leather/fur over night. But I am a vegetarian and this issue really effects me. I've heard some really horrible horrible stories about the meat industry. I've heard stories of cows being put into boiling water in order to "soften" their skin to make good leather. I feel really sad for animals that are put through these horrible pain and suffering. I know that it is a long battle uphill for vegetarians and vegans. But my question is, how can I get involved to bring an end to the cruelty that occurs?
