Our animal rights legislation is far from ideal. Most often, even those that caused serious injury to animals get off with a rather small fine and continue to live their lives.
In a number of countries, such crimes are taken much more seriously, for example, in Canada, cruelty to animals can lead to a prison term and a ban on having a pet for several decades.
The sentence to the man who tied the dog’s mouth and paws with electrical tape and simply left it on the street can be called indicative. The offender will spend the next two years behind bars, after which he will have to go through a three-year probationary period, and he will be able to get a pet no earlier than in a quarter of a century. Violating the last rule, a man runs the risk of refusing to go to jail again.
Jackson, the dog that was abused by his owner, was found by volunteers. The dog was very weak, which means that the dog spent more than one hour, and maybe a day, tied up.
The electrical tape was stretched very tightly, it was clear that the man had made an effort, so there were traces on the animal’s mouth that never healed to the end.
Jackson needed time for treatment and rehabilitation, but after that a good family was found for him, where he is loved and taken care of. strength to trust people again and become happy.
