I have seen those commercials and they do make me pretty upset, why do those animals have to be hurt, and starved to death, how hard is it to just feed a dog or cat and care for it, i think there should be more than a fine to discourge animal abuse. Rapists and child abuses should get jail time and they deserve it, but i think so should someone who knowingly chose to beat the crap out of a little dog or cat, and starved them half to death, and i think they should have a record against them for doing that, so they will be unable to get another pet. I mean people who commit other violent crimes have a criminal record, animal abusers should too. Animals, Children, and Woman are equally as undeserving for abuse, no person or living creature deserves abuse. Period.
I was quite angry when Michael Vick was released early and then went on to play football for the PHiledelphia Eagles, to me thats messages seems kind of like a reward for running his dogfighting operation, instead of a punnishment, he should be kicked out of the NFL, the dogs didnt deserve that. I was equally upset at what Chris Brown did to Rihanna, and horrified. These are just two very high profile, highly publicised cases of abuse. The point being that abuse in any form is wrong.
