Little Gifts Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 There is clear evidence between animal abuse and human abuse. A $900 fine is zip deterrant for future crimes on the general public (or on other animals) by this guy and all the other maniacs in waiting out there. I watch a lot of those animal cops shows from America and it seems that so few of them result in any charges being laid. Yes there are physical and mental health issues and plain old ignorance that results in a lot of animals being neglected but SO WHAT! At the very least these people should be stopped from owning any animals in the future until they prove themselves fit for the task. And regardless of their income they should have to pay treatment costs (even if they have to pay it off over years) so they understand the financial burden of owning an animal. I'm getting tired of all the excuses because the situation is not getting any better for all these animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I would love to know when a person is covicted & banned from owning animals. How do they police that ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I suspect it could only be monitored by the police being informed by a member of the public that the offender had a new animal in their possession. Or if they were in trouble with the police for another offence and they did a home search it would be identified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I would love to know when a person is covicted & banned from owning animals. How do they police that ???? There is a big problem in NSW at least of this information not filtering back to Councils. So someone in your area could have ten dogs and actually have a ban on owning animals and it's very unlikely your Council is aware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Not surprised. Complete joke once again. Don't even know why we bother charging people for anything anymore. If he killed my dog I'd kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
