create implication child_abuse (236) -> abuse (3437)
create implication animal_abuse (118) -> abuse (3437)

Reason: These are different kinds of abuse. These tags may be useful for blacklisting, since animal and child abuse are especially sensitive. Some people are more ok with seeing adults in bad situations but not children or animals.

"Child abuse" and "animal abuse" are well known terms, but they don't exactly match the rest of e621's tags. We can alias these to young_abuse and feral_abuse instead if preferred. Thoughts?

+1. I don't mind seeing some abuse, but I can't stomach realistic animal abuse. This tag is gonna be a permanent part of my blacklist now that I know about it.
Also putting my 2 cents in to say I don't think feral_abuse would be a good alternate name. Form isn't always 100% clear and anthros (I'm specifically thinking of semi-anthros and some cartoon characters) can still be put in animal abuse scenarios.

hmm... I'm a bit wary about using "animal" in a tag name here, "animal" is a bit of an ambiguous term. at the same time, I'm not sure what we'd use in place of it, pet_abuse might cover most of it, but then you leave out the instances of the same happening to wild animals or strays.also feral_abuse dosn't seem like it'd fit perfectly either...

actually, never mind, I think animal_abuse is probably fine as a tagname. I think any reasonable user would fundamentally what the purpose of a tag with that name was for. we don't need to get pedantic.

At first I upvoted, but then I thought… people are definitely going to use animal_abuse on bestiality posts.

I’d also rather use young_abuse.
Child has it’s own meaning on e6, so what should we tag a baby or teenager being abused?
