Mutilation is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body parts, typically without causing death. The term can also be applied to alterations done to objects or artworks that significantly change their original state.
Types of Mutilation
There are several types of mutilation, including self-mutilation, genital mutilation, and animal mutilation.
Self-Mutilation
Self-mutilation, also known as self-harm, is the act of deliberately injuring oneself. This can include cutting, burning, or scratching one's own skin.
Genital Mutilation
Genital mutilation involves altering or injuring the genital organs for non-medical reasons. This practice is common in some cultures and is often performed on minors.
Animal Mutilation
Animal mutilation is the act of mutilating an animal's body without a known reason. This is often associated with UFO sightings and has been the subject of conspiracy theories.
