First it affects the animal because it is happening to them. second it affects the person that is committing the act because they will get into legal trouble.

Animal cruelty definitely affects the animal that is being harmed.  It also affects those of us who are animal lovers because it sickens us to see animals being mistreated.  Though the individuals that are involved in this horrific act may be held accountable, they are without conscious, so it may not emotionally affect them at all.

Animal cruelty affects many people and animals in different ways. In the most direct way, it affects the animal and person committing the cruelty, as the animal is being harmed, often both physically and mentally, and the person is often being harmed mentally by the act and falling further in a variety of mental illnesses they may suffer from. In the case of the situation being discovered, the person responsible is often faced with legal trouble, which affects them in many ways, and the animal is often affected further mentally and physically by being rescued, cared for, and placed in a new home. While this change is generally good, it can nevertheless be a significant change for the animal and cause extreme stress. Those who discover the situation are often affected, perhaps by discovering somebody they know is capable of doing such a terrible thing or by having the animal brought into their lives. The family of the person responsible is often affected when they realize what has happened, as it can drastically change their relationships. The legal system is affected should the person responsible be charged with animal cruelty, and all those in it involved in the case. Others who may be responsible for animal cruelty or consider it who see this happen, whether directly or indirectly, are affected, perhaps by realizing the consequences. And, of course, many other animals are affected beyond those directly hurt by the person responsible, as if not caught the person would likely have continued to harm more and more animals over time.
