Quite outrageous considering the numbers and species involved.
Is this punishable by life?
The "poor me" game is usually played to the hilt by the defendants, who either are assigned a public defender and cry and look remorseful in court, or they (who had no money to feed their animals or take care of their children) hire some sleazy attorney for real money to worm their way out of any hard conviction.
I've seen it happen so many times it makes me ill.
For example, if an airline loses your beloved pet (like they do your luggage), they only have to reimburse you a hundred dollars or so, unless you can prove that the animal was pedigree, and then you get a bit more. But you can do nothing about the fact that they lost what to some people is like a child. Imagine if they only had to reimburse you a hundred dollars if they lost your child?!?!
It's too bad the society has not caught up with the mindset of the people who make up the society. I think most people here would agree that the lives of our pets and those poor cats are worth far more than a slap on the wrist.
