The Latest Reason Why We Need Harsher Penalties for Animal Abusers [POLL]

Jim spoke on air today about a horrific story of a Middle Twp man who shot his dog 70 times with a pellet gun.

It's not like this person was a child and didn't understand the magnitude of what he was doing. This was a 29-year-old man who knew exactly what type of harm he was inflicting on a defenseless animal.

Jim has mentioned in the past that we need harsher fines for animal abusers as things aren't going to get better for the majority of these people that commit crimes against an animal. If history tells us anything, it's that the progression of crimes may only get worse over time.
