A print depicts a busy city street filled with many scenes of animal cruelty. In the foreground, a man beats his horse that is attached to a fallen carriage carrying barristers. To the right, a man beats a lamb, and behind him a drunken man driving a cart tramples a young boy. Further in the background, a man prods an overloaded donkey, and two men are mauled by a bull as a crowd chase after it. Text above the image reads "Second Stage of Cruelty."
