Prison sentences for animal cruelty raised

This is good news if it goes through

About time to, some of the stuff that I've seen in the media of animals being mistreated and the perpetrator getting away with a pathetic sentence is disgraceful

Re: Prison sentences for animal cruelty raised

In theory this is excellent, Muddy, but the Judges often do not impose the maximum sentence anyway.

What is the present possible sentence, is it about a year, I'm not sure?
But whatever it is, it is almost never imposed.

Time and time again offenders are let off with just a fine and/or a suspended sentence. It makes my blood boil.

So as I said, in theory a longer sentence is excellent - as long as it is imposed by the Judges.

And as long as the perpetrator gets caught.

Ey?

Catching him/her is only part of the problem.
They are not being dealt with adequately once they are caught is what Muddy meant.

If someone will abuse animals, they will abuse people. I am of the throw away the key set when it comes to animal cruelty.

We need an express lane for people who mistreat children and animals.

Yesssssss! I think I’d kill ‘em myself if I could.
Anyone that could heard an innocent child or animal doesn’t deserve life.

I sincerely hope it comes about.

However, as Mups points out, our idiot judges never seem to punish criminals properly and, consequently, these laws are really quite pointless.

Why do they do that?

Is it because our glorious leaders have persuaded them not to send people to prison because: (a) they are full, and they don't want to pay for more prisons; (b) they don't give a toss because they personally are not at all affected by crime?

Or is it because our judges have been infected by the current do-gooder thinking that permeates our country and, naively, think that their derisory sentences which, admittedly, would worry them personally and honest people like me, whereas in practice real criminals just laugh at them?
