I wish they made animal cruelty a felony in Connecticut. Right now there is a bill on the governor's desk which he announced he would veto because people should have plain common sense when it comes to the care of their animals. The bill requires that dog owners not leave their dogs chained or kenneled for more than 20 hours in one day and to provide shelter from the elements, such as a dog house.

Hellooooooo?? It's obvious that some people in Connecticut don't have alot of common sense when it comes to their animals because of the out of control cat population. Everyone, including the animal rights activists and victims advocate are outraged because he originally said he would sign it. Bad move on his part because it's an election year.

We are hoping to change the punishment law that is on the books now by making an example of this *%$#@ that killed Adonis. We want her to serve 5 years and pay a $5,000, in the hopes that it will make other animal abusers think twice. I just don't know if it's going to make a difference.

And Yorkster, I read that story about the monkeys. And YAY to the state of Washington for seeing that stricters laws are necessary. No one can speak for the animals except us.
