Background
I do not feel that animal lives are taken as seriously and I feel that the punishment for animal abuse related criminal offences are not harsh enough.
I think people are significantly more careless when it comes to how they treat an animal in comparison to a human being despite them being more vulnerable (if the animal is not a current threat to them)
I think that making these punishments for animal related crimes would help put a stop to animal abuse
