It was just a small box and there was dog food in it so we thought there had been a dog or a puppy. |
It's not going to necessarily make our work easier, but when we charge somebody with cruelty to animals, it's going to be really nice knowing that they're never going to be allowed to have another animal again instead of knowing that two years down the road they're just going to do it all over again. |
We're trying to get harsher penalties for offenders who are charged with cruelty to animals. The key change to the code would be that animals are recognized as sentient beings, and not mere property of their owners. |
