    Fines and a year in jail for animal cruelty? This is not enough, for such crimes there should be a higher penalty than that. At least 15 to 20 years in prison and bigger fines too, that would be more likely!

    Our government is clueless on what to do! Here's a suggestion....... Do to the person what they did to the animal!!! Guess what..... Animal cruelty lessens. Fear should be in everyone not just helpless animals!!!!!

    When someone abuses animals it is like abusing a child. Neither one can defend themselves against the person doing the abusing. We need stricter laws to help discourage people from committing these horrible crimes and prevent them from doing it again. A slap on the wrist and a fine isn't going to prevent it.

    Animal cruelty/abuse/neglect should hold the same punishments as any other case against children, elderly, people in general. Animals can feel, they experience fear, and happiness, and pain just like any one of us. This should never be ok, and 2 years for burying an animal alive is not nearly enough. beating an animal so badly that she is missing half of her face, has a broken back, her legs don't work. This is NOT ok. And it's time we step up and make sure these sick people are put away, and get the punishments they deserve.

    totally agree, what good is a warning, a fine, they should be banned from owning any animal forever & be put in prison for many years & have to register on the animal abuse registry, what kind of message are we sending & all states should have the same laws !!!!!

    We need stricter laws there's too many animals suffering because of the leniency in what laws we do have. Too many animals dying and being neglected! These are beings not a piece of property!

    I am hearing more stories about animals being beaten, abused and killed. When someone intentionally kills an animal, many states will only give 6 months to a year of jail time and a fine. If someone intentionally murders an animal, they should be sentenced the same way as someone who kills another human being.

    No person should go unpunished for the inhumane and brutal abuse inflicted on helpless animals.
