Hmm I dunno if we are doing enough. I mean people can do whatever they want and police officers cannot just waltz in there (without a warranty). So I guess we are doing a lot, I mean if someone knew someone else was abusing animals then they could call the police but people can do it in secret too. I would not know what to put because in ways they are and in ways they are not. But we always cannot make accusations when people are not abusing their animals. My own neighbor shoots squirrels and other little animals and it makes me oh so nervous. What if Sally or Floppsy accidently got out and he mistook them for a squirrel and shot them? Oh God I'd sue him for all he has(well actually my parents would but still..)! My very own sister used to treat my cat very badly. After a long conference with my parents my sister gets a serious punishment everytime she does something to Sally(such as grounding for months, etc.). Because of this fact I have been accused for abusing my pets. It hurts. It is a deep insult because when you know someone thinks you are hurting your pets when they are happiliy sleeping on your lap at that time. But now I realize you cannot help what others think and if they think that well that is their opinion. But anyway back to your topic-
I cannot say if we are or not. Each state, or country for that matter, has different rules and does different things against animal abuse. New York is pretty strict about it, so I would say we do enough here. But as I see you live in England I would have to read up on animal abuse in England to see. Hope this helps now that my fingers feel they are about to fall off
