62. The Courts and the Law are so hostile to animal suffering

I'm not sure if you are aware of how "true threat" doctrine works now - and how hard it is to get someone on these grounds.

The laws - in almost all places - are not set up to view this as more than the destruction of someone's treasured armoire. In fact, that would probably receive a higher value in court.

A law has clearly been broken, so there's that, but first, we have to see how seriously the police look into finding the perpetrator.

Even if they find the perpetrator(s), they've got a law being broken, they have some form of trespass, the intent to intimidate can be worked into the torts that exist as a means to argue for higher damages, but taken in all in all, my belief that anything close to resembling "justice" will be done here is *very* low.

The legal system and the courts are way out of step with how we feel about our animals. Even sympathetic judges find themselves handcuffed by weak or nonexistent law.

And when you get an imbalance like this, to not go crazy, you have to tell yourself that this is one place where you are not waiting. I'm sorry, but I'm not. Keep in mind that when I say "worse than they can imagine," I am *very* creative.
