hum. Don't want to make your life difficult, but why not leave it open 
as to who/what is being abused?

I've been surprised that the House Elf Supporters Club haven't appeared 
on my screen yet plus general Shock!Horror reaction at the way other 
minorities are treated in the WW - even Muggles and mudbloods. Add dear 
Dolly (by Centaurs) plus other odds and ends and there's almost nobody 
who doesn't get maltreated (a slight exaggeration, but I recently had a 
post where somebody was fulminating about ill-treating dragons at the 
TWT "How dare they burn their eyes like that!").
Takes all sorts.
