Default Should There Be Mandatory Prison Sentences For People Who Abuse Animals?

There's been an increase in animal abuse by humans lately, and it seems that the humans are getting little or no punishment for it. I've heard reports about grown men putting a rope around a cat's neck, then tying the rope around a tree, then pouring gasoline on the cat, and setting the cat on fire, while gleefully watching the poor animal burn to death, while struggling to get loose from the rope it was tied too. Yet, nothing happened to these men.
In Kansas City, Missouri, there was a man who abused his dog on a regular basis, and finally the man shot the dog in the head several times. The dog lived, but was blind in one eye, had nerve damage, and walked with a limp. The man received a few years in prison for this abuse, but many people were outraged that the man received prison time for shooting his dog. Oh, and let's not forget the dog fights for profit.
I could go on and on concerning animal abuses-but I won't. My questions to you are this:

1. Do you think there should be stricter federal laws passed to protect animals against unnecessary, deliberate, and cruel abuse by humans?

2. Do you think that humans should serve prison time for deliberately abusing or killing animals-specifically domesticated animals such as family pets.

3. Do you think that the life of animals are not that important, and that an animal being abused or killed by a human is no big deal?

I know what I think-but I want to know what you think-Get @ me with your opinion. :coffeereadpaper:

i think they should be given the same treatment as the animals they torture. ie a claw for a claw.

and i do mean exactly what they did to animals.

Yes, that's good except that a human who does that to a human would definitely go to jail. I have another plan in mind though.

I have heard of probation in assult cases. Make sure people go to jail for hurting people first.

Cruelty is repugnant, whether to animals or humans.
Yes, there should be criminal penalties....
