I wonder if the law specifys what animals are qualified to be protected under this law?

If I pull the wings off a fly and let it bake in the sun is that felony animal cruelty?

What about if I stomp a gartersnake just enough for it to writhe for 2-3 minutes until it dies?

Are mousetraps/gluetraps a felony cruelty crime?

What if I raise my voice and my dog looks frightened?

Foolish laws for a society chock full of fools. We are sliding down the path of civilizing ourselves right into slavery. I would like to get off now, please.

"Foolish laws for a society chock full of fools. We are sliding down the path of civilizing ourselves right into slavery."

Completely agree.

"I would like to get off now, please."

Can't be done. We are in for a lot more of this nonsense before it gets any better. The best we can do is stay strong and laugh at the idiots around us until society wakes up.

"If I pull the wings off a fly and let it bake in the sun is that felony animal cruelty?"

These days it may indeed be. I wonder what are the statute of limitations on grevious crime like this? I've got quite a number of childhood friends I may need to hush up.

I agree we have some foolish laws on the books. What I want to ask is: do you feel that any cruelty to animal law is unjust/foolish? If not, where do you draw the line?
