animal cruelty making a difference its shocking that 6months was the jail term for animal abuse. when was that ever enough it wasnt as not many humans actually get jail sentences its more like a slap in the wrist thats why it keeps happening, now there trying to increase it to 5 years that wont help as no one ever gets sent to jail. it is shocking that animals are made feel so much suffering at the hands of the humans who are ment to be look after them, for me i would like to see a registry database were ever person convicted of animal abuse get put on it and never gets to own any pet ever again also 10 years jail term and a fine as much as 5,000 and up its the only way to make the difference not just silly jail terms the government are needing to step up and make it happen.
