I'm shocked by how many people come here just to ask about home treatment for serious disease/condition. It really upset me when they ask a such thing. I think those people should be put in prison for a couple years for doing a such thing. Do anyone else feel the same way?

I think that some people get pets thinking that everything will be o.k. for the life of the pet,not realizing that like people they require medical care from time to time and they don't anticipate the costs of owning a pet.That being said,i don't think that people should serve prison time for minor ailments like a sore ear or stuff that doesn't threaten or cause suffering.I do however think that the laws should be alot tougher for these senseless people in the world who abuse animals and use them as there own personal weapon's.It seems like every day there is a new story on the news about someone being attacked or an animal being tortured by some sick individual.What people fail to realize is that animals have feelings to.If this stuff was done to an human being,would we all turn a blind eye to that?

Well, there are two sides to this. People who intentionally hurt animals like those who have animals tied to chains that are starving, without water and without shelter should be punished. Some people buy pets and find out they don't know the proper way to care for them. These people should be helped, not punished. They need to find out how to care for the animal properly or find someone who can help them. The more knowledge we can spread about proper animal care, the better lives our animals will live.

Wow, you are pretty non-understanding.

Most people buy pets thinking they know what to do, or that the petshop folk are telling them the right thing. No one buys a pet and PLANS on mistreating it.

Would I agree that pet shops need to take more responsibility to educate their customers before they sell pets? Yes... sorta. I can't think of any way to make this work that would make a difference, however.

Most places have humane societies, etc. that will try to help any keepers who need help or education, and they try to get pets out fo the hands of people who should not have them... but to make it an emprisionable act to not know that a pet Eastern box turtle should have about 70% humidity is pretty extreme!

Most definately. I have seen and read about such horrible things that are done to animals that it's beyond comprehension.

When is comes to animals, the justice system fails them horribly. It's like no one cares.

In the paper not too long ago I read an article about someone who tied up a cat, hung it up and tortured it to death. All he got was a few months in jail and he couldn't have any animals for a year. A year?! What's a year going to do. Someone like this should NEVER own animals EVER AGAIN!

Yes! I feel the laws for animal cruelty should b changed. These people are mistreating their pets, stop letting them get away with a slap on the wrists and a small fine. Send them to jail, prohibit them from owning another animal ever.

I think any person who mistreats an animal deserves a punishment, the more severe the act the more severe the punishment...like neglect and abuse, dog fighting should all be seriously punished...people who are trying to learn how to help their pets problem and are just ignorant to animal care shouldnt be imprisoned but maybe taught to take better care of their animal :)

Yes!!
I have heard so much about animal cruelty and I think people should go to prison and be fined.They also should not be aloud to have a animal again.

I think something should happen if they mistreat a pet or dont give it proper care, take the animal and charge them alot of money, plus put them in jail for a couple days. animals are just like humans to me.

Yes they should go to prison after they are treated the way they treated their animals.
