We need tougher sentences for animal abuse and torture. Please help make this happen!
Most of you have read the thread about the burglars baking the poor dog in the oven. The maximum sentence for such a horrible crime is only 5 years. The sentences for torturing animals are far too lenient.
None of the existing animal rights groups is working toward legislation for tougher sentences against those who torture animals for sadistic pleasure. There is a real need for such an organization.
All the members of TCS care a lot about animals and would be willing to fight for their rights. If we all join forces, we can raise public awareness and really make a difference in punishing the monsters that commit sadistic crimes against animals.
How will we do this? I have a few ideas, but your ideas are needed too. Please post any ideas you have about actions we can take to get tougher sentencing for these terrible crimes.
These are the ideas I have so far. Please help build on them.
A letter writing campaign to government representatives. In the US, that can be done here. If you have contact info for other countries please post it.
An organization name. For example, Coalition for Animal Justice.
A website to promote public awareness.
Emailing and posting on forums to get more people involved.
