Are we tough enough on animal abusers?
The Electric New Paper :
Are we tough enough on animal abusers?
23 September 2010
I REFER to recent reports of animal cruelty. A pomeranian was repeatedly hurled to the floor and a box of kittens tossed from a flat.
Such incidents seem to be occurring more frequently. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority should ensure that animal abusers are adequately punished.
Is the present fine and warning a sufficient deterrent? Although the perpetrators can be fined up to $10,000 or jailed for up to a year, they mostly get more lenient punishments.
The number of animal abusers prosecuted also appears to be low.
Could such factors be perpetuating this problem of abuse?
A strong signal is needed to deter would-be animal abusers.
Letting them get away with a small fine does not send the right message. Heavier penalties and mandatory caning should be added as a form of deterrence.
The maximum jail term could be increased to 10 years or more.
The kind of cruelty we are seeing just should not be tolerated and animals should be protected.

Cats can't scratch cars!
| Cats can't scratch cars! | for everyone |
Dawn fell off the fridge yesterday. My fault, because I disturbed her by opened the freezer door. She got up and placed her back paw where the door was supposed to be... lost her balance and started sliding down back first and desperately trying to cling to the top of the fridge with her front paws. Her claws are long and sharp.. not trimmed!
Out of curiosity I checked the fridge... not a single scratch in the smooth and shiny surface! So don't tell me cats can scratch cars!
By the way, Dawn is fine. I managed to slow her slide a little by pressing my body against her... could probably have grabbed her by the front paws but that might have injured her as she is a heavyweight!
