How does animal cruelty affect education?

A. Not quite sure how to answer those questions... Well about the religious one...in some religions dogs were regarded as dirty so they were not treated so well..(I believe this is more true now in the Middle East section, maybe some Asian countries) In Asia, they eat dogs.

Of the major religions, both some forms of Hinduism and some forms of Islam believe in animal sacrifices, and neither religion has specific rules against cruelty to animals that I know of, except the Hindu prohibition on killing cattle. There are many less well known religions that include animal sacrifice, for example some of the animistic religions in the Carribbean, in Africa, and in the Pacific Islands. There are too many of these to sort them out as to whether they do or do not oppose animal cruelty. Some religions that support animal sacrifice actually require that the animals to be… [cont.]
