My understanding is that in Poland cases of torturing animals to death for fun generally only amount to less than five year sentences, with even outliers being something like 7 years. I’m certainly not an expert though, if that’s incorrect please do let me know.
Fair enough, I wouldn’t consider successfully torturing a cat to death as being less than attempting to kill someone, but if we don’t agree on that point than we aren’t going to come to an understanding here. I guess I fundamentally disagree with the argument that we should incentivize psycopathic murderers to torture animals to death for fun (by having inconsequential sentences for torturing an animal to death) rather than, you know, kill them because they clearly don’t have any place in the world.
Only five years? If you’re the fuck lighting that cat on fire in the first photo then you should literally be burned alive at a minimum.
If you commit more than one crime at once I assume they will be dealt with accordingly.
My faith in any Central European justice system punishing animal cruelty is minimal.
Why?

If you make a lesser crime have a high sentence, you push people to commit the higher crime instead.
I guess we disagree that lighting living beings on fire for fun is a lesser crime 🤷♂️
Lesser than attempted murder, yes

Making a less serious crime come with a less serious punishment doesn’t incentivize the crime. It deincentivizes the more serious crime.
Right, by making it more appealing to just stick with the lesser crime
