I have had many dogs and I liked more of them sometimes I did my own family. How come I am let off lightly. If I go next door and shoot my neighbor’s dog or went down the whole subdivision kill all the dogs or cats. Shouldn’t I face a sever penalty. And mistreatment of them should carry the same weight as mistreatment to a minor?

      Thank you for your response much love. But what is the difference on considering “pets” property and where the US came from considering a human property in slaves? Ae we not more evolved than that? That’s why I like Africa’s laws or whatever that it is 100% legal to kill a poacher.

    What you consider family is not how law works. You’re personal emotions don’t matter at all. They aren’t people, they are property.
