More Cat Abuse By Teenagers

Here is another case of stupid children with too much time on their hands abusing poor innocent animals. Just last month, in Tacoma, WA, children kicked around a 3 year old cat. Now, there has also been another incident in Fruita, CO where three teenagers tied a noose around a cat named Tiny and hitched it to the rear bumper of their pickup and dragged the cat around town. The teenagers have been arrested and will face felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals. Can’t we just hook them up to a pickup truck and drag them around town, so they know the pain they inflicted on the poor cat?

Ohio Seeks Stiffer Penalties for Abuse of Dogs
Legislation would make mistreatment of animals a felony, not a misdemeanor.
Posted: May 18, 2009, 5 a.m. EDT
A push to make the mistreatment of cats and dogs a felony instead of a misdemeanor is underway in Ohio.
Legislation introduced recently seeks to increase the degree of offense for the prohibition against the cruel treatment of a companion animal by the animal’s custodian or caretaker to a felony of the fifth degree.
House Bill 70, sponsored by Rep. Ronald Gerberry (D-Canfield), was written in response to a case in Youngstown, Ohio, involving a kennel owner who was ordered to serve four months in jail plus fines for starving seven dogs to death and abusing 12.
Proponents of the bill say Ohio must join 45 other states in making animal abuse a serious felony crime and not allow cruelty to continue with little to no punishment. This measure would increase fines and potential jail time for a person who is convicted or pleads guilty to abuse charges.
