Animual cruelty is everywhere. Check out any of the stories from Pasado's Safe Haven and you'll see why it is so important to make animal cruelty a felony in as many states as possible. You don't even have to like animals that much to see how dangerous people like this are to a human community.

When I was a kid we lived at the Air Force Academy, and a neighbor of ours would shoot neighbors' fenced-in dogs with a BB gun when the owners were away or inside their houses. This was a fully grown man with a wife and son, and he wouldn't just torture animals, he'd mess with other people all the time. From what I heard he got away with lots of stuff because no one could completely prove anything and his father was a Colonel or something.

Some people you just can't turn your back on.
