$1:

The maximum penalty is $75,000 and up to 24 months imprisonment.

Not enough and nobody will even get that. Animal cruelty laws in this country are a joke.

In one instance, a cow was hoisted up by a forklift from a chain wrapped around its neck and dragged out of its pen as a worker shouts, "Leave her like that."

$1:

while four of the counts are under the Wildlife Act for "molesting a pigeon."

I kind of liked that part. Even though pigeons are an invasive species, it's wrong to abuse anything just for jollies. Kill it, and be done. Don't torment it.
