Here are some of the dangerous active volcanoes of the world listed below:-

Animal cruelty or animal abuse refers to the infliction of suffering among animals. Though some groups say that this is not an inherently wrong practices, advocates of animal welfare believe otherwise. Especially in the 20^th century, several laws on animal cruelty have been drafted and passed to ensure that the welfare of animals are well taken care of. Advocates of animal welfare uphold the idea that even domestic animals should never be taken as properties that people can use as commodities, primarily because they are not commodities. Here is a list of the top 10 countries that have been generally known for their cruelty to animals:

10. Netherlands

Large-scale practices of animal cruelties have been registered in Netherlands for the last decade. This country is known for its active involvement in the trading of sick horses as well as in the trade of other live animals such as cats, dogs, ducks, swans and geese. A Dutch artist named Tinkebell is also known for killing and brutally mutilating breeds of innocent animals in the country. Among the most common animal abuse practices in Netherlands are the throwing of baby chicks in a paper shredder, stuffing of hamsters into tiny balls and butchering dogs without their own masters. Recently, several animal activists pleaded the Dutch government to enforce stricter implementation of its laws against animal cruelty.

9. Greece

Several extreme ports of animal abuse and cruelty are known in Greece. Not a day passes by in this country without reports of dogs and cats poisoned, wolves brutally killed and sea turtles taken out of the sea and slaughtered. In terms of their treatment to animals, people from outside Europe refer to the Greek people as Barbaric humans without culture because of their ill reputation when it comes to treating animals. Since the olden times, the people of this country have been in the practice of poisoning innocent animals, tying little kittens in plastic bags and disposing them, and keeping dogs in chains without feeding them. Recently, in the town of Caretta-Caretta, an endangered species of turtle was reportedly found tied and beheaded.

8. Romania

Just like the Greeks, the people of Romania are known for their barbarism when it comes to treating animals. Romanians are known for slaughtering animals in barbaric ways and then selling them for money. It is in this country that tourists see calves hanging on trees with their heads down, and their throats, cut. Every day in Romania, there are reports of animals found swimming in their own blood after being killed by the merciless locals of Romania who are in the practice of either slaughtering animals, skinning them alive, tying their necks till they cannot breathe, and beheading them. Seldom do these people observe veterinary rules.

7. Bulgaria

While some countries are known for the practice of tying the necks of or slaughtering animals straight away, Bulgaria is known for grave animal torture. A journalist who once delved into the animal abuse practices adopted by the people of Bulgaria found out that among their favourites is poisoning stray animals such as dogs and cats. Reports of masters who carried out absolute massacre of their own dogs are also present in this country. Aside from poisoning stray animals and massacring dogs, the people of Bulgaria are also known for decapitating stray cats and kittens and dogs and hanging them on trees. Mutilation of dogs is also a rampant practice here. It is only in this country where tourists can see beheaded cats and dogs hanging not just on trees but even bridges.

6. Venezuela

Most of the countries that are known for adopting extreme animal cruelty practices do their thing among helpless dogs, cats and calves. But Venezuela does not. Reports have it that the incidents of animal cruelty in this country are most common among the group of wild animals such as lions, beasts and wild geese. A Venezuelan lion named Casimiro recently died because of the wounds inflicted on him by unpitying zoo visitors. The open wounds left Casimiro depressed and neurotic for weeks until he died. The people of Venezuela are also known for the practice of chasing wild geese and for whipping, torturing then eventually slaughtering horses, especially those that have been lost in playoffs. Another report of a Venezuelan local who twisted the tail of a poor beast till it died became viral on the web.

5. Egypt

The practice of animal cruelty is still unabated in the land of Egypt. Different forms of cruelty to animals are manifest not just among the adults but even among the young, who generally have torturing animals as their pastimes. There was one incident when a six year old boy was caught holding a little kitten in his arms. All of a sudden, he dropped the kitten on the ground, held his one leg with a string and continued to toss the kitten back and forth to the floor until it died.  Egyptians are generally known as a callous group of people when it comes to treating animals. It is a good thing though that laws concerning animal welfare are being pushed in this country these days.

4. Spain

Spain offers breathtaking destinations for tourists. However, animals in this country are fondly called “animals in distress” because of the general kind of treatment that they get from people. Many families in Spain have their own slaughterhouses, so they continue to hunt down animals in the forest so they may have something to eat. But there is more to their heartless practices than just hunting down animals in forests and killing them. Several Spanish people have been reported because of their senseless killings of cats, dogs and pigs, and even calves. There was once a time when a teenager was seen trying to drown several kittens in a large basin until they died, or cutting the heads of pigs while they’re still conscious.

3. China

China has long been known for its lack of care for animals. Several offenses made against animals have been recorded since 2006, so a good number of activists are now pushing for laws that will safeguard the welfare of these animals. Among the animal abuse practices adopted in China is the skinning of foxes and other furry animals while they are still alive. Since China is a generally cool country, wearing of cardigans or coats has been common among its people. The inverted practice is not just common among foxes but fishes as well. The Chinese people are known for catching fishes in the sea and removing their unnecessary internal organs while they are still alive. Aside from those, several videos of Chinese nationals torturing birds and other stray animals are also viral in the web.

2. Australia

Slaughterhouses are common in Australia. People living in this country are known for killing large animals such as bulls and cattle by way of punching them, beating them and kicking them hard till they die. They carry out the worst form of cruelty to downer animals, which refer to those who are already too weak to stand up and defend themselves either because of their age or a sickness. There was once a reported instance of an Australian who actually poked a lame bull with an electrified prodder more than a hundred times till it died. As this was video recorded and went viral on the web, several viewers from around the world have seen how the lame bull died in so much pain because of his Australian tormentor.

1. Japan

Japan is one of the very few Asian countries that are known for being engaged in the practice of animal cruelty. It is believed that the different forms of abuse inflicted among animals in Japan are driven by capitalism. A fully developed country, Japan is known for treating animals not like living creatures but things that can be dumped anytime. Each year, Japanese nationals reportedly kill about 300,000 domestic cats and dogs in a brutal fashion, such as suffocating them, poisoning them or inflicting physical torture on them. Some even just pick up stray cats and dogs and casually throw them in rivers as though they are inanimate beings, while some twitch the bodies of small animals such as kittens and hamsters till they die. The idea of picking up and providing homes for stray animals are never really a practice among the Japanese. They generally find pleasure in killing animals.

The popular explosion is a problem for the world. But you will be surprised to know about the top most populated states in America in 2013. So here are the most populated states and cities of the USA in 2013

North Carolina is located just below the middle Atlantic states on the east coast of the United States. At present the state has approximately 9.8 million people. This is due to the agricultural, high tech, education industries. North Carolina boasts some very advanced living environments with beautiful scenery, woodland areas, theme parks and more. The lower cost of living is attractive too and small businesses have moved there thus increasing the population density.

Again, boasting a population of 9.8 million, This northern state just above the midwest. At one point the state had a huge automotive industry found in it’s signature city of Detroit. For decades that one city provided enough jobs and related income to keep the U.S., going economically. That being said, no wonder there still is a large population in the state. It’s not a small state land area wise as it has the longest fresh water coastline of the states as it borders the Great Lakes. Fishing, hunting, skiing, all contribute to the economy and population. With Detroit now in economic stress there’s no telling if the population will dwindle at all.

Reaching a population density of 9.9 million this southern state that borders the Gulf of Mexico has much to validate its numbers. The reason being that there is agriculture, industry, fishing, school. Still with a large rural population it maintains it because of the cost of living being so low. The mean family income is affordable enough although it does have its share of poverty. It makes up for this with its other income producing industries and is somewhat progressive to introducing new ones. Weather is also a factor as it has extremes of tornadoes to hurricanes and sometimes wicked snowstorms but rarely drought. The abundance of fresh water and produce allows the state to maintain its citizenry.

Smack dab in the midwest is the state of Ohio with a population of 11.5 million. Ohio is the center of much industry, agriculture, military, schools, and other industries. It maintains its population with such income producing industries as it is known for innovation as well. It has plenty of fresh water and produce which can also be easily gained from the surrounding states. It borders Lake Erie to the north and Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky and West Virginia. Heralded for it’s collegiate and pro sports venues, Ohio keeps its citizens busy.

With a population of 12.7 million this state is steeped in both American history and industry. With two large cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, it is a state of utmost importance to the country and the world. Laws, agriculture, high tech, education, sports, art, you name it, Pennsylvania has it and more. Its citizens are maintained by this diverse industry platform and although it does have its pockets of crime and poverty the state is managed quite well which validates its population numbers. It receives high attention from the federal government as so many important trends and decisions come from there.

Home to the monster sized city of Chicago, Illinois has a population of 12.8 million and for good reason. Bordering Lake Michigan it is the center of commerce for the midwest states. Harboring major industries from automotive, computing, high tech, agriculture, sports, arts, it is a hubbub of commerce and more. The city of Chicago is primary for this interest and impetus and allows for greater expansion. Even though the state itself needs attention in areas of crime and poverty, much due attention and pressure to straighten things out has come because of U.S. President Barack Obama as a resident.

There is no doubt as to why the state of Florida has such a large population of 19.2 million, it’s the sunny warm weather, lower cost of living and general fun. Because of its climate, industry can go on year round making for better job opportunities and lower cost of living outside of the big cities. It’s still much rural with farms and thick foliage and swampy areas to be had. The vacation industry is what really puts this state over the top and the population swells by several million people each month on top of its base population. Theme parks and the water venues are what bring in the tourists and as it is surrounded by both the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico the water sports just don’t end year round. This gives for more employment opportunities for the numerous famous college students too.

One would think New York state would be at the top of this list but it comes in third with a base population of 19.4 million people. It is almost a country unto itself. With the massive population of New York City which probably makes up half the population count. There is no end to the industry New York has within its borders. Military, high tech, commerce, sports, agriculture, entertainment, and far, far more this state has to have a huge population just to keep it running properly. The massive rural landscape takes up the majority of the state with trees, lakes, rivers, streams everywhere. Most people don’t realize how much of the state is covered by trees. Its bordered by five other states all that depend on it as well as the rest of the world and it is connected to two of the Great Lakes and at the south, the Atlantic Ocean. It generates billions and billions of dollars and maintains its population quite well.

The big lone star state of Texas figures to have a large population. Bordered by four states, the country of Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico it has everything to keep a state of 26 million busy. From medical, high tech, massive agriculture, oil, gas, mining, sports, entertainment, tourism, colleges, and military, Texas has more to do and see than many states combined. It has deserts, forests, springs, and more. The population is well kept by the infrastructure and bustling cities of Dallas and Austin. Texas pushes to be progressive and is really going after the high tech medical sector.

No other state comes close to the massive population of California which ranks it on top of the list of 10 most populated states in US – 2013. With 37.8 million people it’s a wonder it hasn’t fallen apart. Some say it is or will but it has so many big cities and is so large in land area it’s no wonder people flock to the state. Los Angeles alone has more people than most countries around the world. It has everything from military, medical, agriculture, tourism, entertainment, high tech, and many more industries. The southern part of the state boasts the biggest populations due to the weather. It’s a Catch-22 of a situation as the more people who arrive with hopes create more industry but unfortunately a strain on state resources. Somehow, someway California government keeps things together to keep the state rolling.

Dogs are the perfect companions – exceedingly loyal and unfailingly faithful.  But while they can be your best friends, they can also be your worst enemies. This is particularly true if you do something to threaten their well-being, their owners, or their owners’ property.

3. German Shepherds

6. Doberman Pinscher

7. Chow Chows
