There should be harsher penalties and more defined rules concerning animal abuse. The beating of the dog in Albemarle county was horrendous. Also I pass hound dogs on Dudley mountain road in small outdoor pens in single digit weather AND in 90+ degree weather. Cruel dangerous conditions for these dogs. Nothing is done about it.
Beth supported: Justice for Dogs: Maximum Sentence for Animal Cruelty Defendants, Pending ConvictionHumans who make a choice to own an animal have a responsibility to provide at minimum, basic needs and any and all medical attention required. Owning an animal is a choice and any abuse, neglect or suffering is also a deliberate choice. With many options available for pet owners who may be struggling including but not limited to:
Low cost veterinary services, assistance in obtaining necessary food, and options to surrender the animal to local shelters, any mistreatment is willful and intentional. Our community will not tolerate willful neglect and abuse of animals in our area. The maximum penalties are indicated for those who seek financial gain at the expense and intentional suffering of other living beings. Owning an animal is a privilege that should be beneficial to both pet and human. It is not a right and does not come without responsibility and consequences. Our community is placing trust in our legal system to uphold the laws and regulations and standards that are set to protect the voiceless.
Rebecca supported: Justice for Dogs: Maximum Sentence for Animal Cruelty Defendants, Pending ConvictionThis should’ve been stopped long before any animals died. What a sad situation for everyone involved. Thank goodness the rescuers are strong enough; dutiful enough to do their jobs. I can only say that I believe SHE and anyone who was complicit with her actions should be forced to give up any rights they may have not only to animals but anyone, children included, under their care. May she hear the cries of those poor starved and abused babies every night while she tries to sleep.
