animal cruelty is just a outlet for the frustrations that a man has to face ,a normal man takes it all out on his kids,these people on animals.Heck,agreed that cruelty to one that isnt that intellectually superior as us isnt fair and should be punished,i feel MORE focus should be given to HUMAN cruelty,which occours in far larger numbers.HEck,"man beats cat to death,gets fined and goes to jail" is sone the news we may see in the near future..BUT " bully beats crap outta kid for not givin him his lunch money,kid in ICU"..is news that RARELY gets featured....let us first learn to live with PEOPLE and get along with them,,,,,,then we can speculate on animals
