(22,651 posts)if the people are even charged with a crime at all. Frequently police in many townships, counties are contacted several times about animal abuse and don't even respond.
According to the FBI people who would be violent towards animals are also violent towards humans.
The higher violence rates, higher crime rates are even noted near poor/no regulated animal industries like slaughter houses and factory farms.
The Mayor of Kauffman ,Tx. noted her towns crime rate was cut in half when she finally managed to shut down the horse slaughter plant in her town. It took her 5 years, almost 80 times going to the courts and the plant almost bankrupted her town. Overwhelmed their sewer system. Records exposed in court showed the plant only paid 5.00 in income taxes.
Lately industry has tried to make it a crime to vid. tape animal abuse, in many states. States such as this one..where Animal Angels exposed a dairy where an employee, along with a complicit owner was a house of horrors for the animals. Is is a known fact spent dairy cows and the male calves do go to slaughter..but do they have to be tortured on the way?
This man is a veteran, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor crime after a lot of foot dragging by authorities and the dairy owner. A slap on the wrist is not enough to keep society safe. By the way in court he complained he was due to take his Police department tests. Do you think this man will ever make a good police officer and family man? reports are he also fired many weapons around the dairy although those events were not documented or admitted to.

I place this stuff in this thread because showing pictures of abused dogs is not enough. People need to understand that animal abuse, dog fighting, violence against animals is a crime that should always be taken seriously by authorities. It's not just the animals who suffer.
