Of course there are light sentences. Should the government rewrite the animal cruelty laws, livestock farmers will be outraged.
As I understand it, property laws are the only way to go on this subject. Boys A, B and C destroyed an object belonging to family X. But a cat is worth about $5... sometimes less since there are a lot of strays out on the street, so good luck with that.
These kids will get a slap on the wrist as will the next kids and the next kids after that.
