yes, but gladly in USA there would be jail time, not just a fine.
I did some research and the only thing I found was some material on how innadequate US laws are on animal cruelty.Inadequacies of American laws and suggested reforms
David Wolfson and Mariann Sullivan detail the exclusion of most animals from current anticruelty legislation in the U.S. They note that "approximately 9.5 billion animals die annually in food production in the United States" (Sunstein, 206). But the only federal legislation applicable to the killing of these animals, the Humane Slaughter Act, is administered through regulations that "exempt poultry, the result of which is that over 95 percent of all farmed animals ... have no federal legal protection from inhumane slaughter." What is more, "there are no fines available for violation of the statute and significant penalties are never imposed" (208). This is symptomatic. Anticruelty legislation generally allows people to do what they want under a façade of animal protection. For example, legislation enacted in 1877 regulates the rail transport of livestock to reduce cruelty, but it does not apply to transport by truck, and therefore does not apply to the overwhelming majority of livestock transportation. Just as bad, the maximum penalty for illegal animal transport by rail is $500.
Most state laws against cruelty to animals either exempt agriculture altogether-34 of 41 recently enacted statutes-or they exempt common, customary, or normal farming practices. Commonly practiced cruelty thus becomes legal in spite of an anticruelty statute that applies to agriculture. Wolfson and Sullivan provide vivid descriptions of common practices regarding laying hens, breeding pigs, and veal calves. Jim Mason and Mary Finelli, writing in the Singer collection, provide an even more vivid and complete picture of cruel treatment on factory farms in the United States.

Paradise is a state of mind and in the minds and hearts of every Cypriot. Your 'anti-Cypriot' propaganda which you have decided to start (let's not go into the reason why) will not take that paradise away from us. Eat your heart out.

Cyprus is Paradise and GG knows it. That is why she spends so much time on CF. GG should cease this Vendetta against Cyprus just because a Cypriot broke her heart and dumped her like a hot potato. The poor lad just did not want to end up in the gutter and fry his brain cells and end up like GG and develop a drug induced psychosis.
For some reason, GG seems to think that a priest shooing a dog from his parents grave (a holy place as he puts it), is more deserving of her efforts to better this world than concentrating on the countless cases of American Priests sexually abusing children, or the state sanctioned murder of inmates or Cruelty to Humans referred to in the other thread. It seems that when your own back yard is such a mess, you will grab anything in someone else's back yard to switch your focus from your very own considerable shortcomings!!

preist abusing children is alot different than priest abusind animals. go start a threas about priest as pedophiles. this thread is about animal abuse coming from a man who should know better.
as for a cypriot dumping me like a hot potato, that is also far from the truth. he is doing what his mamma wants, like any other good cypriot boy, he is not doing what he wants in his heart. and that is very sad indeed.

it's not about undesirables. it's about closed-minds.
