What can I do to help an abused animal?
user
The best thing you can do to help an abused animal is to try and report the abuse, if it's safe for you to do so.  If you are unable to report the abuse, look for any visible signs of mistreatment such as bruises or injuries and document them along with the date.  It's also important to make sure that the animal has access to proper nutrition, veterinary care, a comfortable temperature environment and plenty of mental stimulation/attachment opportunities. Finally, find resources in your area which specialize in helping animals who have been through trauma so they can get the psychological care they need.
