PROPOSAL: (Sign this to Persuade the Governor to Sign this bill that passed the Senate!)
• Bail should be constant, no matter the level of abuse
• If you abuse an animal, you can never own one again
• Time in jail to be determined by the cruelty done (just like human crimes)
- Example: Starvation – 10 years, Dog fighting – 25 years, etc.
I agree with the notion that the CURRENT penalties in place are NOT sufficient:
- $2,000 fine
- Registered on Animal Abuse Registry (abuser pays ONLY $50)
