what would happen to you if you were caught abusing an animal by the police?

Question

i dont abuse animals, i was asking because i am writing an essay. [dont worry!] :)

Answer 1

I think you would get arrested. In this day and age it seems that abusing animals gets more attention than abusing children. I'm against abuse of any kind, but I wish there were stronger repercussions on child abusers.

Answer 2

In Texas, the police officer would take you to jail and charge you with Cruelty to Animals, a class "A" misdemeanor (as long as you didn't kill the animal):

Class "A" Misdemeanor punishment:
Confinement for term not to exceed 1 year in county jail;
A fine not to exceed $2,000 ;
Up to 2 years of Community Supervision or 3 years with extension

Answer 3

The person abusing the animal would be taken into custody. The animal would be taken to the closest Animal control facility for treatment.

Answer 4

Animal abuse is against the law. In most of the states, it is a misdemeanor. I think the law should be a lot tougher than it is.

Answer 5

Depending on cruelty, you can receive a fine and up to 1 year in jail, although there is talk about making punishment more severe.

Answer 6

You would either be arrested and charged with animal cruelty
or turned over to your parents who would have to pay the fine!

Answer 7

It is a punishable crime. You get arrested or cited depending on the severity of the abuse.

Answer 8

A fine and up to 1 year in jail.

Answer 9

Answer 10
