Barbara Bittinger . Exploring the Reasons People Abuse Animals. , Walden University, 2023.

The research on animal abuse has grown over the years which has led to studies that determine the psychological implications of animal cruelty in relation to various societal and environmental agents. From these studies, researchers have addressed animal abuse and cruelty in general but have not established the cause of the behavior or reasons why people abuse animals. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the reasons motivating human beings to abuse animals. Using the qualitative method, this study used snowball sampling to interview a total of 10 professionals who work in the fields of veterinary medicine (veterinarians and veterinarian technicians) and who work in law enforcement and have investigated cases of animal abuse. The interview responses were recorded and analyzed qualitatively.
