KILLING ANIMALS ’CHEAPER’ THAN TORTURING THEM

The stricter animal protection law was made a year ago and now it seems to be clear that killing animals is ’cheaper’ than torturing them as killers of animals are just fined while torturers of animals can be punished by two years’ imprisonment.

The law still regards animals as ’property’ so the fine for their killing is just for damaging property.
