Well, yes it is both good, and not good, The best part of this is that the legal system is taking these crimes more and more seriously and beginning to give stiffer sentences.
But a short time in jail may or may not be punitve enough to have any effect on his actions once released. He could even come out worse than he was before....
It is frequently shown in psychological profiling of criminals, that they do often progress from animal abuse and cruelty, to crimes such as murder.
I say the same thing as I've always said; the giving away of any animals "free to good homes"...and the sale of animals online at such sites as Craigslist, Gumtree, and Kijiji, etc should be completely outlawed. It has already been done (as far as I know) by Ebay. So if Ebay can do it, why not everyone else? That still won't protect the animals 100% but would give them a better chance.
(Mind you, even after the ban I did see the sale of puppies on Ebay and reported it immediately.)
