So long as this behavior of mistreating animals is over looked as a petty offense,horrible yet not punishable by serious time served by the penal system,this kind of crime will continue to happen.If we really need to put an honest effort into protecting animals it must be from the side of making theses types of crimes punishable by more than slaps on the wrists.Time to raise the ante.!
