    Dear Congress members, I think that we need to get stricter laws for our furry "family members". People that abuse animals aren't getting the message because we are going too easy on them. I know jails are filled with much worse offenders by others standards but my pets are my family too and I think it's outrageous that someone that tortures an innocent animal and then only gets little jail time and no real huge fine. They go out and do it again because there is no huge punishment for it. I think we should definitely make animal cruelty a bigger deal by giving these sick people more than just a small slap on the wrist. I hope that we can protect our animals better in the future and put people who do these cruel acts where they belong IN JAIL.

    Make the penalties for animal abuse/neglect much tougher than they are now including MONTHS of jail/prison time and mandatory public service at animal shelters and HUGE fines.

    I feel that penalties for abuse of the innocents (children and animals) should be stiffer than any others. It takes a cruel person with a black heart to prey on them, they are so helpless.

    Animals are God's creatures too and should not be abused. Abusers should have to do time in jail for these horrific crimes.

    It is wrong for us to live in a society where importance of life is measured by species. If a domestic animal that is considered a part of a family is brutally murdered at the hands of man than the sentence needs to fit that of a human murder. It's a proven fact that an individual who tortures and murders animals very likely goes on to committing acts of violence against humans. I hear about cruelty to animals more and more every day. Something has to give. Why should life be measured on a grading scale? This is a civilized society, right? Bottom line- Impose much tighter sentences on animal abusers or they will never learn!
