Banned From Owning Animals

BTW, as you are focusing your questions on Europe - what's the situation in the US.
AFAIK, you would get into some trouble if you torture a dog "just to have some fun" - if this is the case, where is the line drawn in the US?

They are procecuted but not as harsh as i think they should be. I called the cops on a neighbor that had left his dog outside in freezing temps for 2 days straight. I had also witnessed him kicking the dog a few months ago. He got fined and the dog was taken away. I went to the Humane's Society every other day to make sure the dog was adopted. The dog was but if it hadn't have been adopted, I would have adopted him to ensure he wasn't sent to the city pound and put to sleep. I hope he's in a better home. God put us on this Earth to take care of the animals, not mail them for entertainment or a cheap laugh.
