The same reason murder is against the law. Animals should be treated with respect. When someone hits/burns them with something it still hurts just as bad as if it was done to us. There is no reason to hurt/abuse an animal on purpose just because you want to, or you think they are just animals so it's okay. Please don't think I'm being rude. I'm just saying what i think..

∙ 12y agoYes. You will go to jail, and it's just plain wrong.
It depends on which state you are in. As it stands right now, 41 states and the District of Columbia have felony provisions for animal cruelty cases. The nine states that don't have a felony provision are: Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah.The punishment on a felony charge of intentional cruelty to an animal ranges from state to state including up to $250,000 fines and up to 10 years in prison.

∙ 12y agomost of the time the purpose of animal cruelty is for our needs of meat dairy and fur coats. but for some people it is to relieve anger or stress so they take it out on there weakest point there pets.

∙ 15y agoBecause we have done it for so long and to make it a felony would involve a massively complicated bit of legislation when you consider the number of animals killed for all kinds of reasons from making fur coats to liverwurst not to mention accidental deaths and injury's. The fact is we don't really want to because it belongs in the too hard basket both psychologically, Philosophically and economically.

∙ 13y agoAnimal cruelty should be illegal because cruelty to a child is illegal. Animals actually have the same rights as children. Sort of like a contract that you were born with that everyone in the world has automatically signed, protecting you from harm until your an adult where you can have rights.
Hope this helps. :)
