This makes me incredibly sad. Particularly this bit: "Curtis faces up to six months in jail, or a $1000 fine and community service if convicted." How can the consequences for something so horrible be so minor? If the victim were a human, things sure would be different. I mean, the only argument I can think of for there being more severe consequences to such crimes against humans is that we should feel more empathy towards our own species and therefore be less likely to commit such offences. Which certainly does not account for such inequality. -m xx
