I came across this article, today, talking about making a fucking registration requirement for adults convicted of animal cruelty.
Considering just how much the punishment for convictions goes beyond the statutes, often leaving people with a history of a conviction consigned to second-class citizenship, this additional stigmatization based upon a weak correlation is quite simply unconscionable to me.
As an extraneous issue, I'm disgusted that the same fucking legislature that can't be bothered to have sessions when the state budget is over one hundred days late can pass this kind of bullshit. ETA: Whoops, it's a county law, not a state law. Less offensive to me, then, but still frigging stupid.
