Animals been treated poorly

I found an article on the New Zealand Herald website that really made me feel sick inside.
The woman was accused of starving her puppy. The SPCA found a Staffordshire bull terrior locked underneath a Glenn Innes in the Eastern Suburbs on Christmas Eve.

The dog is known as Eve, looked like a carcass and apparently survived by eating her own faecas. Paulette Taki, faced charges including failing to provide Eve with protection from significant injury and disease. Paulette failed to appear in court to face her three charges. There was an arrest warrant made for Paulette after she made a no show in court.

I found this article very disturbing, it was bad enough this women left her 11 month old puppy to starve to death but she couldn’t even face up to the consequences and go to court. It is good that an arrest warrant was made so that Paulette could not get away with her cruel actions she did to her puppy. I cannot understand how anyone could leave their puppy to starve to death, why have a pet if they don’t want to care for it. I hope this women gets her just deserves and faces up to the consequences for her actions.

What do you guys think should happen to Paulette for failing to appear in court?

Do you think people like Paulette should not be able to have pets?

Animal Cruelty Cases on the rise

It is being said that animal cruelty cases are on the rise. Since 2005, statewide animal cruelty complaints have climbed 15% while voluntary surrenders for neglect have soared 370%.

Chief Richard Le Blond of the MSPCA Law Enforcement Departments said that ‘When the economy is bad, when people are having a hard time, they’re more apt to take out their frustrations on an animal”.

With animal cruelty casers on the rise it just shows how many innocent animals are suffering. Because there are no harsh laws in place for animals cruelty their owners don’t care and take their frustrations an danger out on their pets because they don’t get in trouble for it like they would if it was a person they had done it to.
If there are harsher punishments in place then we wouldn’t have to worry about rises in animal cruelty cases because people would be too scared to hurt animals because of the consequences they would face.
But if would solve they problem, don’t you think they should give it a go?

Do you think if the laws were tougher on animal cruelty then the amount of cases would decrease?

What sort of laws do you think should be in place for animal cruelty and abuse?
