I think max'smom hit it on the nose. Criminologist agree that if we can predict crime we can prevent it.
We know that most violent criminals start out with animal abuse.
This person can be stopped if the right judge is over the case.
In short,
People who abuse animals will eventually abuse humans.
This criminal deserves the harshest punishment allowed by the law.
We should form a group like madd did. We see know how they influence court rooms and now today we have harsher punishment for drunk drivers.
In Texas we elect our judges and if the judge wants a particular groups vote he will certainly see their side in court.
