I'm a little divided about laws against cruelty to animals. The cruelty itself is obviously wrong, but of course being obviously wrong does not, in itself, justify getting the government involved. I don't think I'd vote for an animal cruelty law. But if someone was beating his dog bloody with a baseball bat on his front lawn, and someone ran up, grabbed the bat, beat him bloody, and got charged with assault, I'd practice jury nullification if I were on the jury.

You'd sit in judgement of another individual? Pass judgement? Inflict your will upon another? What if the charge was animal cruelty and the only bad thing to happen to him is he is arrested and brought to trial? Why is the law against cruelty wrong while sitting on ones hands in a jury okay?
