So guys, I heard in the news the other day that a man got five years of jail time for animal abuse

What are your thoughts, are you for or against it?

Good!!! Fucker should have got more! Someone who harms animals or children has something seriously wrong with them and should not be able to walk free.

@DollyLand oh no, you're wrong. I completely comprehend the issue but five years seems excessive. I am against animal abuse, I have a cat, Borris, that is like a member of my family.

seems justified to me. besides, there's a lot of overlap between the sick freaks willing to hurt animals and the sick freaks willing to hurt other people.
People who are cruel to animals are just practicing for their graduation to people, and animals feel pain, and emotions too. I'm for very stiff penalties and mental health measures for people who abuse animals.

Seems like I'm clearly outnumbered but let me just state my case.
First of all, I am totally against animal abuse. It is not right to hurt a defenseless animal. It's mentally sick really, and I believe they should be punished. But personally, I think five years is excessive. Perhaps three to six months, yes. People sometimes get less time for crimes committed against people.

@Winterskies right? These people are blind, I am totally against animal abuse. But five years is excessive. From what I heard, the dog didn't die. The owner didn't feed it and it had some bruises but it survived.

@xRedx it's easy to understand the reaction though. Animals are helpless and depend on us so the abuse is particularly heinous. It's hard not to get riled up about that.

@Winterskies finally a reasonable person capable of analyzing and responding. Yes, you're right.
Justice was served
@xRedx a person needs to really be fucked up in the head to willingly harm an animal for no reason.
xRedx · M
@Teggy you're absolutely, these people are clearly not sane. But five years I think is excessive.
@xRedx can’t do the time? Don’t do the crime.
Sounds super cheesy but fitting

Against cruelty. To all animals including humans.

You go to jail for abusing children, it should be the same for animals.
xRedx · M
Thank you, I really appreciate a person capable of analyzing and responding with logic. But some of these idiots lack basic comprehension skills
ScrewThisImDone · 26-30, F
A lot of people get like that when they feel really strongly about something, and like I said before, to a lot of people, pets pretty much are children.
xRedx · M
Just like classless boars that let their emotions get the best of them. And it's funny because restaurant chains breed and mass murder animals almost everyday yet where's their collective outcry? Call it what you want, I'll call it hypocrisy
Kind of. It has been several cases where men have raped/molested women and don't even serve that amount of time, rarely.

15 would be better

@xRedx stfu idiot child
xRedx · M
@Fernie lmao, you are one stupid bitch. People have gotten way less time for worse crimes and against people.
@xRedx @Fernie No need for escalation. This countries priorities are messed up when you can get a soft 5 for murder and a hard 15 for tax fraud! Something is definitely wrong when more value is placed on money than on human life, but that is an old story.

seems reasonable, what exactly did he do?
xRedx · M
@Jackaloftheazuresand I'm not entirely sure, but the dog didn't die.
alan20 · M
I'm for the jail sentence.
xRedx · M
@alan20 and why is that?
AllAboutLaffs · 70-79, M
He got what he deserved ...
Grasshopper25 · 31-35, M
I am not familiar with the incident, but if you're asking if I think someone should be incarcerated for abusing an animal, then yes.
if I remember correctly, you usually go to jail less than 5 years for child abuse...
xRedx · M
@xMysteriousx yeah, depending on the case. It's just ridiculous really when we value more a animal than a human being. People can say what they want, but this just wrong.
unknownpoetx · 36-40, M
all meat eaters should get the death penalty then. fucking hypocrites
xRedx · M
@unknownpoetx exactly. I don't see these people going up against the ones that actual abuse animal, mass murdering them everyday. Breeding them just to slaughter them. I do find that hypocritical
Winterskies · 31-35, F
Not enough info to really make judgement on it. Animal abuse is gross though.
Magenta · F
I am for it!
What did he do (or not) I wonder?
xRedx · M
@Magenta I think he hit his a dog and didn't feed it for some time. The dog is fine though, it didn't die
SW-User
He deserves it

Not a lot of countries have a five year sentence for animal cruelty, but some do. There are reasons for it that go beyond "animals are cute".
