Why do we need stricter animal abuse laws?

We need stricter laws because the crazies of our world think that just because animals aren't people, they think they can get away with abusing them. Therefore, more and more animals are being abused and abandoned. If the crazy people know that they will be severely punished for beating a dog or cat, they will stop abusing them. This will save literaly thousands of lives a year. (Not including the extra 8 cat lives:-)
