What is abuse? Does it confer to only a human centered definition or does it have a wider array of definitions that include all the Flora and Fauna of earth? The question when answered in a moralist absolute sense, will say YES! Every creature should be protected and prevented from abuse that causes mental/physical harm. But then again the culture and environment we live in are not that simple to deduce. When there is a philosophy of moral absolutism there is another called moral relativism, which asks us to treat every argument in a contextual scenario.
