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?

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.

@xRedx You are right about sentences being less for other crimes. Like rape, why does a fucking rapist get barely any time??? If any!!!

@xRedx I agree with you. Five years seems excessive especially since there are no details.

@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.
