Definitely aimed at the Hispanic men!
Does this include flushing your emotional support hamster down the toilet?
People who abuse animals will abuse humans at first opportunity, so creating a paper trail on them early is a great idea. Moreover, the dog-fighting culture coming up from Mexico is disgusting. Criminalizing it will help place illegals in the deportable category, hopefully.
Government does not exist to protect non-humans beyond treating them as any other piece of property we own that can not be damaged or stolen by someone else. What you do with your own carpet, lawn, fence or dog is none of the government’s business.
‘probably would not be arrested’-—well, that’s just FINE and DANDY.
People who abuse animals will abuse humans at first opportunity...
If this means you can't kill a vicious animal trespassing on your property, or one that's attacking your pets, it's absurd.
Does this include cops shooting dogs?
“”””but to allow judges to ensure that people get treated before their crimes against animals “”””””
So bunnies and cats have the same rights as people?
Barn life for kittens is dicey at best. We spayed her with the farm vet on the kitchen table the next spring. Between cows, horses, machinery, and owls, only one kitten survived.
“People who abuse animals will abuse humans at first opportunity”
This isn’t true. People who abuse people generally will have abused animals first but they are a small subset of animal abusers (this has been studied at the university level).
One other thing, the above depends on the definition of abuse. The shelter I worked at hired a director who was an animal rights nut. She used to have pictures at her speaking engagements of abused animals the shelter took in.
She slowly worked into her picture rotation, pictures of dogs living in ordinary dog houses and pictures of dogs sleeping outside. Nothing was wrong with these dogs except that they weren’t house pets.
Later I found that animal rights nuts do this all the time. They seek to equate ordinary pet keeping with animal abuse.
Just another BS feel good law for city people.
People who value animals as much as or more than humans, and raise “the planet” or “the environment “ up on a pedestal organize into groups which commit mass genocides.
This is, after all, what the Khmer Rouge were.
This bill is socialism intended to benefit veteranarians and help set the country up for gun control. Shooting animals attacking livestock warrants punishment?
Take your gun control advocacy to another forum please.
“Just another BS feel good law for city people.”
Not all people who abuse animals become abusers and/or killers, but pretty much all abusers/killers have abused animals. If anyone is hurting animals, pets or otherwise, it’s a bad sign of things to come.
I have a 10-year-old nephew who never will be allowed to enter my home. Just sayin’...
There is a huge differences between abusing animals and taking the proper action against problem animals.
