However, despite how disgusting the phenomenon is its practice more often than we like to accept as a society. There are two major forms of necrophilia sexual and nonsexual.

...illegal forms. The largest amount of non-human animal violence and abuse occurs behind closed doors within institutionally owned multi-billion dollar food industry, and science sector corporations. The mass scale of violence and poor treatment to non-human animals must be investigated to discover its impact on humans in society. To begin the research, it is essential to include the practices and current views on non-human animals in our society to help portray the reason behind a human violent nature. We examine these practices and views by criticizing the federal law. This research will then further investigate how the treatment of non- human animals in a commoditized fashion leads to violence or maltreatment to beings in society. This study will be using supporting findings of the relationship between animal abuse and domestic violence as well as findings for the relationship between slaughterhouses and its effect on their communities’ crime rates.

These actors are the main contributors to the influence of our environment, us as humans, and non-human animals. Society has commoditized non-human animals for...
