        Couldn’t agree more. Some of our most vulnerable and innocent are animals bred for food. How do we extend anti-cruelty to these animals?

        Personally, not sure that 5 years is enough. Many people who mistreat/harm animals also lack respect for people.All living creatures matter.

        Not vegan, no problem with animals humanly reared & slaughtered for food.Totally against bad farming practices. 🐮🐮

        Ah. My mistake. Some animals are okay to be mistreated and harmed? They go in alive and end up in pieces. Where’s the humane treatment?

        Absolutely agree. In France it's even worse and meat isn't labeled as such in supermarkets ( except for the obvious halal/kosher market 😡)

        About time. Although, personally, I’d lock the abuser up and throw away the key.

        Put em away for life? That’s intense. How do you feel about the way we treat the animals that fill our restaurants and grocery stores?

        Why is it intense? IMO Cruelty is an aggravating circumstance to a crime (as murder).

        Love seeing that passion for animals. Gotta stick together with so many people thinking it’s okay to exploit and abuse them.
