uhhhh, how about getting him more than 2 fucking years??
People get more than that for having a fucking joint on them in some places. Why do we as a society consistently give the worst of the worst light sentences?
Fucker probably has money.
Why is there a maximum for animal abuse? That's crazy to me..
Can they not try him for multiple counts of animal abuse? In the US, for some crimes, you'd stack the charges, a sentence might be for 3 years, but with 4 counts of the crime you'd be looking at more like 12.
Even in the US most sentences don't stack consecutively like this. In many other countries, they never stack like this.
The US is an outlier, most countries cannot do this. Because otherwise you could be jailed for years if you shoplift ten times or something.
The upper limit is usually only used for sentencing if it's a repeat offender or if occured multiple times.
