Yes.
I think that cruelty to animals is one of the worst crimes. Hurting someone who can defend themselves against you is one thing, but hurting something that can't defend itself, that trusts you, is one of the worst things that you can do.
I know this will sound awful, but if people convicted of animal cruelty were subjected to the same cruelty that the animals suffered, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep.

The idea is sound in theory, but regardless of where any money would go both the fines and jail time should be increased and enforced.+5

I know some people might think..."the money should come from people who care"...but money is money in my opinion & in animals shelters, it's needed! I think this is a good idea for a penalty because it benefits the animals as well as punishing the person.
This is the right way to go about getting justice.

Yes good plan..

Great idea!

No, that would make too much sense and we can't have that, it would confuse folks.

I totally agree with that! Great idea! +5

Some people can't afford that but, They should be made to volunteer for a couple hundred hours cleaning and feeding the animals at the local shelter.

I think we should bring the guillotine back for animal cruelty.
by maximista on March 12th, 2009
sure. why not? that's how most punishments work in our justice system. i wouldn't be surprised if there is a policy like that in place already.
by Discipline on March 11th, 2009
If that is the case then the livestock industries would go bankrupt considering cruelty is routine work that gets paid.
by Aquatic Eagle on February 3rd, 2009
Definitely. Great idea!

My dog killed my neighbor's chicken in my backyard. Is their any health concerns I should be worried about? How do I explain what happened?

Me neither. I might just sleep a little better.

Indeed.

In fact, I lose winks of sleep because they don't receive the same treatment that those animals get from them.
by Aquatic Eagle on February 3rd, 2009
I agree!
