What are the consequences for animal abusers?

November 30, 2009 - 10:13 am 3 Comments

I am doing a power point presentation on animal abuse and I want to include the consequences people get for abusing, and killing, animals. Thank you all so much.



Usually it’s a fine or less then a year in jail for abuse. For killing an animal it depends. If it was tortured see the first answer, if it was killed and it was on your land and it belonged to someone the cost of the animal to be replaced. If it was wild there is no penalty as long you just kill it and don’t torture it. If it is your animal and you shoot or otherwise kill it quickly then their is no penalty. (Tennessee) Killing a police Dog is a felony in most states.

    Well it depends. If a person abuses an animal it is usually a small fine. If they abuse an animal and sell tickets then they could get years in prison. Of course unless the abusers tax the ticket sales.
