How do you feel about the animal cruelty bill making it a felony?

@Randy777 Well, people 'do' generally suck. I'm an outgoing likable person and I like my fellow humans, but I'm waiting for the earth to open up and swallow us as far as life forms are concerned. We really suck.

@Randy777 Wow! I think I found my niche! You really needed to get this off your chest and you will have a much healthier perspective after you've processed all this in some good old introspection! It's helping 'me' too because I do the same thing you are doing now, with politics. I am very reactionary when it comes to 'right' vs 'left' and you've given me an excellent glimpse of myself!

@Randy777 No, that's not what I was trying to convey at all, but I am happy to help you work out your combative disorder, tunnel vision, and histrionic conditioning. Have you had some kind of bad experience with animals recently? Do you recognize any of these?

Did you have a pet as a child?

@Randy777 I apologize for my mild taunting psychobabble. I grew up on a farm too. We were crazy mother earth news hippie people. Farms and communes and converted hippie campers blah blah blah....
Anyway, I think that you might be getting the wrong idea about what I consider animal cruelty. Also, like Misty, you might be considering the "can of worms" that could be opened by the misapplication of these potential new laws. I understand that. There is always a can of worms. I used to be a wrangler in Arkansas. I have no problem with ridin em hard, as long as you don't put em away wet! You know what I mean?
I understand that this law has the potential for misapplication.

@VeronicaPrincess a voice of reason. Thank you
