Perhaps you, like the legislator who is suggesting that this type of act should be a felony because it hurts the animal, may be missing the point. Although one should rightly agree that animals should be treated humanely, the act in question is one that demeans the man, not the beast, and that is the correct reason for imposing legislation designed to prevent or punish such an act - not because it harms animals, but because it harms man.
