[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] It's not so much this incident that pisses me off, but the fact that it reminds me of several animal cruelty incidents in the UK I've heard of recently, where the perpetrators got very short custodial sentances. It simply pisses me off that we have such double standards. We take animals into our social units, we think of them as parts of our familiys, but we are not prepared to accept the precipt that deliberate cruelty to animals is not as repugnant as that towards people. In some ways it seems worse to me - you can't reason a dog. You can't send it to therapy - it will not understand why it is being abused. This makes the abuser a coward, no better than a child abuser, for exactly the same reasons, and we have people screaming for the death penalty or castration for peadophiles. I don't know the answer, but I do know that in the UK at least, the law is a toothless beast, with criminals unafraid of jail, or even the small fine they might get instead. There are too many criminals here, and not enough space - we nearly ran out of prison space last year. I want us to be tough on crime here. I'm just not sure that I want to see the UK become like East Germany or Soviet Russia. Well thats my tuppence worth. [/QB][/QUOTE]
