Increase the punitive penalties by law for any form of animal cruelty.
Why is this important?
We've heard stories of innocent cats and dogs being abused by their owners or someone else in some of the most inhumane ways. No more misdemeanors- justice for the animals, we need to make all forms of animal cruelty a felony, punishable by 5-15 years in prison, plus a lifetime ban from ever owning any animal, upon release from prison.
