Every time I watch an episode of the SPCA's and they always say "so and so got this much time and this amount to pay." I always think to myself that that isn't enough. We do need harsher penalties on people who harm animals.
And those people need to be watched closely in the future too, because if they're harming animals, who's to say they won't go onto humans next?

In NYS most of it is a misdemeanor - not a felony. I believe assaulting a police K-9 is a felony, though. I have also been pushing a national database for animal abusers. I had hoped my Congressman, Grimm, with a 100% HSUS rating, would take action on this, but he seems more interested in defending John Boehner.

*snort* HSUS...I've heard some disturbing things about them. About how they say they're for the animals, but then a report came out saying they were the top shelters to euthanize animals. I can ask one forum again if you want the whole details. I don't hold much on anything that the HSUS or PETA says anymore, now that I found out that info about them.
I hear some people are upset with Boehner, but he didn't do all that bad today. I hear some of the money that was going to be sent to aid people from Hurricane Sandy had some extras that were in it that were going to be sent elsewhere. So that's why he turned down the bill. If the full money isn't going to Sandy, then why endorse it? All of that 60bil or 9bil should be sent to help the people, not just half.

HSUS rating of Grimm (and others) is entirely different from what they do which is flawed. Grimm, who I can no longer stand, has supported many humane positions. PeTA is well known for killing animals, as I have posted. Look it up on the Web. Boehner and the Sandy (pork bill) matter is entirely different from his incompetence and gutlessness fighting Obama. He sold us all out with the fiscal deal: more taxes, more pork, and NO spending guts. We hate him.
