THE PURPOSE OF THIS PETITION IS TO TOUGHEN THE PENALTIES ON PEOPLE WHO COMMIT ANIMAL CRUELTY CRIMES. OHIO JUDGE MICHAEL CICCONETTI PIONEERED THIS IDEA (WHAT I CALL "EYE FOR AN EYE" LAW) WHO SENTENCED MICHELLE MURRAY TO STAY IN THE FOREST ALONE FOR 1 NIGHT WITHOUT ANYTHING. SHE LEFT SEVERAL KITTENS ABANDONED IN THE FOREST FOR THE WINTER. I FEEL THIS PUNISHMENT WAS TOO LIGHT HOWEVER, IT IS ALONG THE RIGHT PATH. THE "EYE FOR AN EYE" LAW SHOULD BE THE NEW NORM WHEN CONVICTING PEOPLE WHO HURT ANIMALS. I FEEL THESE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY WOULD FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT CRUELTY AGAINST ANIMALS IS WRONG IF THE CONVICTED ANIMAL ABUSERS EXPERIENCED THE EXACT PAIN AND TORTURE THEY THEMSELVES AFFLICTED ON ANIMALS.
