Hunting, Racing, Farming, Pest Control all cause suffering to animals in various degrees.
This is getting off track.
All I ment to say was that the different varaibles that are presented when dealing with animals can make things complicated and thats why I'm not crazy over raising all punishments.
However I'm all for raising the max for cases like this.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I'm pretty sure I said any animal, so no, that doesn't just apply to pets.
Hunting...I hope the animal is killed outright and doesn't suffer. Hunting for sport shouldn't be done, and even then they aren't being abused.
Racing...No, the animals shouldn't suffer and in most cases they don't.
Pest control...Should be done humanely, and I think in most cases is.
Farming... There is a difference between raising an animal for food and abusing an animal.
