Depends what your definition of "abuse" is.

If my dog or someone elses dog was being presistently aggressive to a person, I wouldn't have a problem giving it a hard smack. If it started to become a threat and there was no way of removing the dog out of the situation I would follow it up with a harder smack.

Is that abuse?

Using lethal mouse traps.

Is that abuse?

Destroying a wasps nest.

Is that abuse?

Dog sleds.

Is that abuse?

Hunting for sport.

Is that abuse?

Are you only going to apply stricter laws to animals that you think are cute and cuddly? Are some animals exempt because there viewed as worker animals? wild game? pests?

I'm just saying, it's not a black and white issue.
