There were already, well established animal abuse laws in Oregon. Make a point of looking forward, since foresight is almost as useful as hindsight.
Well, let’s discuss humans, since that seems to be the contention, here.
If somebody kills 20 people, are they charged for *one* act of murder, or 20?
If 20 dogs are abused, why should the abuser answer to only *one* charge?
Which dog gets legally vindicated?
Which 19 are ignored?
And why?
Was one dog more important than the others?
Just for one moment, imagine how this will impact *puppy mills*.
Not one, wholesale abuse charge....*hundreds* of them.
Think that might finally shut down those hell holes?
