I know this question wasn't directed to me but I've spent some time thinking about this in the past...
Legislating morality doesn't work because the cons outweigh the pros and MOST people are not "puppy drowners", so passing laws that criminalizes how I treat MY animals is that slippery slope we all know too well while making no real impact on that given behaviour.
Certain crimes are only committed by sick people and animal abuse is one of those. No matter how you criminalize it, it's going to happen, and will only impact good responsible animal owners.
Instead, if I see my brother engaging in that behaviour, I should try to help him with his emotional issues if I so choose, or I can just thank God that he is only .000001% of the population, and move on with my day.
My choice. His choice. Not the government's.
