We need stricter laws and harsher punishment for animal abuse of any kind.

What the world needs are more Cole Fennels. People who love and care for God’s little critters and make them part of our families.

It makes me heartsick and mad when I read the story about the mother beagle being abandoned, starving and giving birth to her babies in freezing weather. But she did not abandon her babies like some humans do.

The senseless killing of the baby alpaca, in my opinion, was done by cowards, who have no conscience, are non-caring, and have no respect for life, be it human or animal. They have to be cowards to take and kill what belongs to another in the dark of the night. I cannot imagine the pain and fear this poor helpless little critter went through. I know its owners are heartbroken. My heart goes out to them. ...

These teens should be tried as adults and punished to the maximum, giving them time to think about what they did, and then maybe they will come back into society better humans. ...
