Should people who murder innocent dogs,cats etc get a life time jail sentence?

lifetime jail sentence is too mild for those people.....a slow and painful death is more like it.......Pet Lover

As long as the animals are innocent. Have they been put on trial yet? Did the cat commit treason?

yes they belong to jail, animal killers need to or animal abusers should go to jail, because they are being human, we have to love any kind of pet and we should protect them, animals are needed in this world. A lot of animals supplies food for us, pets like dogs and cats are our best friend and the one who most protect us.

There is no punishment that fits a crime like abuse of an innocent animal.

Murdering humans is punishable, but when you abuse an innocent creature that loves so unconditionally, and ask for so little in return, in my eyes it is like abusing an innocent child.

There is just no punishment severe enough for that in society.

Yes because its prohibited act in the name of law.

I absolutely love animals. I have cats, dogs, cows, sheep, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys. They are all pets. We never butcher anything on this "farm". However, they are not humans. (In lot of ways they're better than humans though !). A person who takes the life of a human deserves life in prison...or death. A person who kills an animal is not a "murderer". If there is torture of the animal involved, or if it's done "just for fun" that should be punished severely with some jail time and fines. I do feel that torturing animals, or just killing them for the fun of it could be a precursor to crimes on humans and these people should be on probation to keep an eye on them. Each case is different and should be treated that way. There are some reasons to take the life of an animal, as long as it's done humanely. I myself have never had to kill anything, and I don't think I ever could.

So says the same people who think child molesters should be released on parole in 5 years.

You asked this already. My answer is still the same:

It's an animal, not a person. I think killing someone else's dog should be a crime, but not just killing dogs. There are too many already. Torturing a dog is another matter. I think that should be a crime, and it is one. I don't think that deserves a lifetime jail sentence either, though.

I am a dog lover. I have one, myself. I am also in favor of neutering and spaying dogs to prevent their numbers rising. But I'm also a realist. Too many dogs roaming around is not good for us or the dogs.

There should be some sort of monetary penalty and mandatory volunteer service for killing innocent animals. That way, there could be some assistance to the threat of an animal overpopulation. But not a lifetime jail sentence; then our lockups would be faced with overpopulation. As cruel as it sounds, animals can be easily replaced; Lord knows there's plenty of cats and dogs that need need homes!

LIFE hell no but time yes

"life" is maybe a bit harsh- but surely a time penalty, some monetary fines- that should go to a REPUTABLE rescue group or shelter.
How about if they stay their sentence in a 4X8 kennel? At the shelter- and work there cleaning and caring for the animals under supervision?? Think that might add a bit of reality?

Yes. It's a life that can suffor. People try comparing it to a human life, but what they should look at is that the person doing the killing has no guilt in killing anything. These type of people will eventually move on to killing humans.

We call it garbage protection where I come from. What's the cost of 1 animals life compared to week after week of cleaning up the garbage they have strewn all over the yard on garbage day?

god help me,but i swear i heard my peanut and jelly sandwich screaming in pain as i ate it.
get a life.

No. The term murder refers to the killing of humans. Animals are not on a level with humans. I think that killers of animals should be punished but not as severely as a murderer.

Tristan2109

Killing a animal is the same as killing a person. They both have feeling, hearts and love towards others.

I love animals that aren't annoying

I wish I could kill my neighbors dog. It never stops barking and yelping. I don't think I deserve jail if I do it either.
