Neanderthals
Their is no written record of when animal cruelty actually began. If we analyzed when animal cruelty began, we can imply that it began when human life began. Hunting can be considered a type of animal cruelty. If we take this into consideration then we could conclude that animal cruelty had it’s beginning about 200,000 years ago during the Neanderthals time. Their only way of survival was by hunting animals.
During the neanderthals periods, they lived in caves, they made their tools from wood and or from animal bones. They had no electricity, no gas, and no water, therefore they learned to survive using fire. During the winter months they wore animal skin on their body to keep warm and were probably in the nude during the summer months.
