I don’t even know what the laws in Idaho currently are…but, having a fair idea of Idaho’s population base and how it generally votes, I’d say that the laws should be toughened, yes…
But then, I’m a lilly livered liberal who loves cats and doesn’t hunt. So what the hell do I know?
Stickman on February 17 at 10:11 a.m.
Most definitely YES, and then double it.
BigMac on February 17 at 11:32 a.m.
Yes. Right now there is NO protection for cats, for example.

I’m glad to see so many of us agree about toughening the laws. Cruelty to chidren and animals gets me all riled up. I’d love to see the monsters who dump kittens in a box by the highway and are involved in dog fighting, get their come-up-ins !!
