Do you think animal cruelty deaths should get the same sentences as human murders?
No, but they should still get reasonable sentences. Given that he owned the cat, 2 years is fair. If it was somebody else's cat murdered in such a way, I'd want to see 4 or 5 years.

If the animal is rarer than human then the criminal should be punished harsher.
Oh, this.

No, animals are property under the law and that is how they should remain. I mean, we are a society that lives off eating animals so it would be a little absurd to consider them our equals. Life is nice at the top of the food chain.
Unfortunately, we don't believe in absolute control over property. Zoning laws are a thing, CPS is a thing, and animal cruelty laws are a thing. Even slaughterhouses have to obey certain animal cruelty laws.
