I'm happy to see punishment for animal cruelty
00:03
be the same as what you do to a human being.
00:06
If you slap a human being, you'd get done for assault.
00:11
I don't know if you get prisoned for that.
00:12
It depends on the severity of it.
00:13
But I just treat it the same as humans.
00:15
If you slap, if you're abusive towards an animal,
00:18
just make it the same law as what you do to a human being.
00:23
That's horrible.
00:25
I mean, I don't know why animals should be treated badly anyway.
00:28
Yeah.
00:30
I don't understand why there's a rise, so no, there shouldn't be a rise.
00:34
Do you guys have any pets at all?
00:36
Yeah, we do.
00:37
What's that mean to you?
00:38
A lot.
00:39
My dog, and I could not live without my dog at all.
00:41
Yeah, same.
00:43
You've got two.
00:44
Yeah, two dogs.
00:46
I have a pet, Pat.
00:48
He's a bad cat.
00:51
And he does get into a lot of trouble, but I do like the cat.
00:54
And it's important to look after the pet and keep it happy.
00:57
But what's that mean?
01:00
Yeah.
01:04
Yeah.
