i honestly believe that people who commit cruel acts against an animal should be tried as if the victim were a human rather than a piece of property. whoever did that needs to spend some serious time in prison. sicko.

Stuff like that angers me to no end. I posted this in another thread, but I had a kitty who had one of his eyes burnt out with a cigarette when he was a kitten and was tossed around by his tail. The kids were never caught, assholes. And my kitty turned out to be the sweetest guy, he was just afraid of everyone else (who wasn't in my household), poor guy. It's cases like this that make me want to re-vamp the justice system for animal rights. Stiffer penalties for offenders, regardless of whether it's their first incidence of violence. Everyone knows that hurting an animal often leads to violence towards humans.
Very much agree with you. Commonly serial killers turn out to have tortured and/or killed animals when they were younger. In my eyes the abuse of animals and children is much worse than that of adult humans, because they have little to no defence or voice to these atrocious acts. I can’t imagine how someone can do that to another living being; how can they bear to continue through the cries of pain - let alone begin in the first place? I HATE these types of people. I don’t see how they should be allowed to live when a lot of wonderful, gentle, talented people die young.
It hurts my heart when people abuse animals and children. I would literally hurt someone if I caught them doing it. Animals and children give us all unconditional love and didn't ask to be here, and in my opinion they deserve all the love and best that life has to offer.
Punishment for heinous crimes like animal, children, and sexual abuse should be harsher than what they are currently. Too many sick bastards out there get off too lightly on all three of those charges.
