Animal Suffering and Euthanization Caused by Human Psychosis

Animals are impacted by human delusions in two ways—by being treated and mistreated for non-existent parasites. Additionally, they can be identified by their owners as the hosts of non-existent parasites, allowing the owners (who consider themselves to be infested) to deflect attention from themselves and make it appear they are seeking treatment on behalf of their animals. In neither case do the animals come out well.
