Anyone know of a big fine or jail time for a animal crime?? Or is it just a threat, that isn't followed through on?? Wondering...
It's a shame that they don't. The problem is that there are other considerations taken into account when sentencing occurs. In many states there are sentencing guidelines. There are also considerations of prior convictions. These are not controlled by local government, but are based upon state laws and overcrowded state prisons and local jails. When people get fed up enough, perhaps then they will act to change the state laws and be willing to fork over more of their tax money to build state and local jails as well.
