I believe that animal abuse as a child is supposed to be an indicator of antisocial behavior later in life, according to what I saw on CourtTV. In addition to growing up in troubled homes, a lot of violent offenders have anmial abuse as a common denominator as well according to the show.
I believe it should be prosecuted seriously and make sure the person gets a criminal record and is watched.

In my state it's a misdemeanor..a small fine and losing the right to own the dog..In some states it's a felony. I think it should be a felony EVERY where.. abusing animals is just the start..then it moves to child abuse, spousal abuse, murder, etc. I will stand up for any and all animals that are abused...

I don't know...I wish I did though because I am sure it was not enough animal cruelty ranks right up there with Child abuse and Spousal abuse and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

A dog attacked a kid here. They gave the dog the death penalty for being a vicious animal. That's pretty tough.

Not much of one! A couple of city utility workers in my town found a trapped cat in a dumpster on duty and somebody saw them kill it. They got paid suspension and community service hours, big deal! They should have gotten more than that!

Nobody wants normal porn films, down the market everyone wants animal films, if you know what i mean, so i suppose there wouldn't be any sentence for cruelity.
