Yeah, I see these shows too and so many times the slap on the wrist they get is nothing compared to what they actually deserve. Sadly the laws are not enough and once you get out to more desolate parts of the country, it's even harder to get animal cruelty laws passed. It's infuriating to say the least.
The best you all can do is join the ASPCA and get the newsletters via email. They send you alerts on what legislation needs to be passed and they also have a whole section of state by state animal cruelty laws.
When you write letters, they have pre-made ones for you with a space to add what you like to it and it goes directly to your local congressman. I've written plenty of letters and have gotten actively involved with my congressman on many national and local animal cruelty issues. So much so we've gotten on a first name basis! Sadly he is retiring and a new guy is going to take his place. I told him to make sure this guy knows my name!
Either way, he'll know me fast enough!
The more laws that are passed the easier it is to get them tweaked to give the abusive fuckers harsher treatment in the future.
Anyone who harms animals that much has something wrong deep down inside and has no qualms about hurting, maiming or killing any living creature including his own mother. These are people without conscience.
