Animal Cruelty: WTF?
"Passersby found the dog, a female collie-Lab cross, still alive but lying in a pool of blood in the street earlier this week. Her four legs were bound together with duct tape, a bag was covering her head and there was a tow rope around her neck. It appeared she had been dragged behind a vehicle. The veterinarian called to the scene said the rope around her neck was so tight it caused one of her eyes to pop out. Her neck, back and pelvis were also broken."
hxxp://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Alberta/2006/10/12/2015419.html $2000 fine and/or 6 months in jail just doesn't seem enough. Things like this and Anderson Cooper's blog about Africa that HA posted just leaves an impression that the world is going to hell. |

Unfortunately, this is how it is for Animal Cruelty. It just isn't penalized very steeply anywhere in the US.

It's much the same in Singapore. Punishments range from a fine to only a few weeks in jail A recent cat serial killer was only given 2 weeks jail if I remember right.

The problem too is that animal cruelty is sometimes a precursor to a mental state of lack of remorse/guilt that leads to murder of humans. And these guys end up on the street.

This stuff really should be penalized much greater. As stated above, this sort of thing shows up in the past history of serial killers all the time.

I'm a simple creature I guess.
I figure no amount of piss on the carpet, shit on the rug or puke/hairballs on the bed cover could make me hurt one of my cats or dogs...they are just doing what animals do. People who beat, kill or torture an animal should be likewise treated...end of story.

Yes, but probably only for the value of the animal. At least we're heading in the right direction. Most states now have felony animal cruelty statutes. It's not too long ago that stories like this wouldn't even be news. |

I don't think those people should be likewise treated. That really provides no justice to the dog or the canine population as a whole. How about an equal punishment where we tie the guys up in duct tape, put a bag over their heads and hide some Milkbones in various orifices before throwing them in a kennel?
