You didn't answer my question. If he had beaten a rat to death would you still send him to the can for 18 months? If not why not? A rat is an animal is it not? Are dogs better than rats?

I have a well treated dog by the way and I don't like it when somebody tortures a dog. That being said I believe that all animal life is no where near human life and I am not going to charge somebody with a felony for mistreating an animal. Wanting to send someone to the joint for beating a dog is most definitely a 'PETA' type.

Essentially, because said "question" was an idiotic one. Not all questions are created equal, sadly.

Why do I find this possibility a highly dubious one, at best? Hmmm... reason... reason...

Ah! There it is!
