I think people who commit acts of cruelty to animals should face penalties equal to perpetrating the same crime upon a human.
A few months ago I adopted my dog Cletus from the pound. She was very skinny and was obviously abandoned with no provisions. She was lucky to find a good home.
On the other hand, there are animals that don't have it so good. Some are shot and mamed, starved to death, cut and burned, etc. I have no idea what would possess a human to do such a thing to a helpless creature, but like I said, they should be severely punished.
No smart remarks please...but I was wondering what you all felt. Do you think you have to be an animal owner to feel this way?
