What punishment is suitable for animal cruelty, neglect, abuse, and scummy puppy mill owners?
I agree with Bonnie K. Let the punishment fit the crime! If these breeders had to spend EVEN ONE WEEK in a cage of filth, with no access to sunlight, exercise, fresh food and water, other human beings, etc, they could actually see what this treatment is like. These animals, in many cases, are sentenced to a LIFETIME of these abuses, simply because they were born. Oh, and to the complete loser (Just Joshin) who made the most incendiary asinine comments I’ve ever seen, since I can’t send you an email, “Have fun in Hell” and good luck with your ensuing karma. On a legal note, until animals are considered anything other than “property”, the laws will be ridiculously weak. I think it’s crazy that in some states you can get a restraining order to prevent your abusive partner from harming your pets, but that the pets are still considered “property”. We can only hope that the people who care will eventually outnumber, or at least affect the people who don’t.
