Same way they would treat them if they were doing that to humans. Animals can't speak for themselves, so we need to speak for them!!!!

I love animals and have dogs my self. I love my dogs and would kick some rear if someone hurt them. At the same time I realize that animals are not equal to humans and saying that the penalties should be the same as humans is ridiculous. I agree they should be penalized but it is NOT the same.
If you think it is think about it this way. If some sicko broke into your house and tortured your kids, wife, grandmother, whatever (someone you love) then went across the street and kick the neighbors dog.
After the person was arrested and they are charged. They receive 1 year for beating grandma and 1 year for kicking the dog. I would have to say I think my Grandmother is much more important than the dog across the street. I am sure you would feel your loved one is also more important than the dog across the street too. Knowing that the punishment for kicking the dog was the same as your loved one would be an insult to the victims.
So the punishment should fit the crime and emotion should be removed when deciding what the punishment is. I guess that is why we have Judges.
There should be laws specific to the treatment of animals. These laws should cover the penalties for the abuse of animals and should always remember that humans are more important that animals no matter how much we love them. Oh wait we already have these laws.

I think we should do to them what ever they did to the animal, see how they like it eg if a person left there dog tied up outside, without food, in the pouring rain for days on end then the same should be done to them. Obviously the animal should be taken away to a place where it will properly looked after. People who hurt animals make me sick, if i saw someone kicking my dog or something i'd kill them where they stood, there is no excuse for it.

I find it strange that some of the same people who are so vocal about animal cruelty have no problem with a woman choosing to allow her baby to be butchered in her womb and sucked out with a vacuum.
People are screwed up in the brains.

I totally agree with gsxerrider1000's !Animals are not the same as humans, although people should be punished for being cruel to a defenseless animal. The punishment should fit the crime. I don't think someone who kicks a dog should get the same punishment as someone who would starve,and kick the dog.

how do you define being cruel,to animals anything specific there is animal testing ,animals being slaughtered for meat ,animals being skinned alive for there fur seal cubs being clubbed to death he list goes on ,man is the cause of this and until we realize that we are responsible for this,and change it ,animal suffering will continue.
people who deliberately abuse domestic pets should be punished like a human would ,what punishment would you give for animals treated cruelly in slaughter houses ,animal testing and the seal cubs being clubbed,its a big debate and there is no one answer
to the very last answer which is aimed at abortion,i dont beleive in abortion in any circumstances either

Hi Louise D.
Straight to the point...THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME FEEL SICK!!! Why? why do they hurt these poor defenseless animals, oh the poor little darlings. I generally want to cry at all these terrible terrible cases,I wish I could adopt all these animals myself. The law doesnt do enough to stop this. They should be treated as they treated the animals see how they like it.
Best wishes,
Amanda!

well animals are dishes. they are food. I believe in eating animals, but i think they should be killed if they are going to be eaten in a more humane way. One quick gunshot to the head. I don't need them to suffer. But those who neglect or do bad stuff to animals, are bad people. But if they are just used for food then it's okay.

they should be fined, put in jail, and be treated how they treated the animals. animals cant speak for themselves, so we need to help them. animal cruelty is sooooooooo horrible. :(
