Re: Animal Death due to Crulty
You can instigate an action both in the criminal and civil contexts against the wrongdoer. Animals are treated like "property" in the civil context, just as if the person wrecked your car or other possession. Please consult a local attorney if you wish to pursue the civil claim. For the criminal case, call the police and file a charge. Good luck.
