Were so often angered by the light sentences given toanimal abusers.
A bill pending in the Michiganstate legislature would require people convicted of animal abuse to registerwith the state, similar to Megans law which protects the public by identifyingsex offenders who may be living among us.
The Animal Abuser registry would be available to shelters,rescue groups, pet stores, breeders and the public. If it passes, it would bethe first such registry and hopefully other states would pass similar...

Growing up as a typical girl, I had the usual revulsion tosnakes, bats, and spiders.
Whenever I had seen a snake in the wild, there was an adultpresent who immediately and senselessly killed it like the fat broad in the comic strip.
