We believe that the Obama administration should introduce harsher punishments against animal cruelty. Currently, people who abuse animals have only light punishments including warnings, a few hundred dollar fines, or 1 month to a year in jail. For the first level of offenses, we should increase the fine penalty. Repeat offenders should not be allowed to work with animals or own a pet. The court should also mandate therapy for examples of extreme cruelty. In conclusion, we believe that there should be stronger punishments for animal cruelty.
