Dog Fighting Sentences - Ruth - 03-04-2016
Heavier sentences being planned for those who have dog fights. Dogs are often killed and abused by their care givers and they should even sentence them to longer times than this!

There is no doubt, most countries need tougher sentences for dog fighting. All the animal cruelty laws need to be tougher, but dog fighting is particularly nasty. It is premeditated. They actually have to plan out the fights. There are no mitigating factors. People who fight dogs choose to do something brutal and inhumane. There intention is to see animals get hurt.
Stronger sentences are needed. We can only hope they are not too long in coming.

It can't be too soon when they start giving these abusers what they really deserve!

I hope they at least have the will to do what is right. Severe penalties for dog fighting will send the right message. Anything less just tells the dog fight organizers to go ahead and do what they want.
