I dont disagree with you and any person that is cruel to animals should be severely punished. I just wonder how a law would work given how many different kinds of animals we have on this planet.
Humans seem to be drawn to animals that are aesthetically pleasing and remind them of their own qualities. For example, squirrels and rats are not all that different except that one is cute and furry. We recoil in horror at one (the rats) while we let the other one run rampant on our streets.
Maybe a strict law should just apply to pets whether the pet is a dog or a lizard. If you agree to have a pet, no matter what it is, there should be a hgher responsibility and kindness standard and thus harsher penalties if you abuse them.
I cant look at videos with abused animals; it is too upsetting.
