Sadly, it does happen. I've seen people of all colors and stations who treated their animals better than many treat their kids, and I've seen people who commit atrocities on both their animals and their kids that would make your head spin -- the ones who abuse animals will tend to do it to humans; that's the connection I've seen.
The hood (any hood, any color) is particularly notorious -- there are people there who really don't give a shit about life at all (and no, not everyone -- I feel sorry for the ones stuck there trying to keep some humanity).
Depends on the area really, but I did grow up in the worst area in my city for 11 years. I thought it was normal for a long time. We had way to many strays on top of what was going on.
I would say not really common, but definitely much more common in the worst parts of cities and that depends on the city itself. Mine has a high crime rate with the violent crime statistic being higher than the property crime statistic.
I would say if the city has a somewhat high crime rate, in the worst parts, and the city is small or bigger than that stuff would start showing up if I had to take a guess.
You just brought back some bad memories for me. I feel your pain.
Wait is this stuff common? I had seen a video of a black guy pouring boiling water on a cat, but I thought he was just a lone asshole.
