Appropriate punishment for animal cruelty

[randallscott35]

Somer,
Your heart is in the right place and most of society apparently agrees with you b/c you know the punishment will be small.

But, to me, the torture of defenseless animals is done by morally weak people that have evil in them. Stupid decisions are one thing, this is another....The fact is, these people do not benefit society at the end of the day. No different than sex offenders, which have been proven to not be able to be rehabilitated. So what's the use....They'll get little if any punishment and it will be swept under the rug. But these guys are every bit as bad as the person doing the driveby shooting. And don't be surprised when they are 30 and in jail for violence against humans.
