As someone who is helping to write the law then you should be able to allay our concerns. You have yet to do so.
What good is this law going to actually do? Is it actually going to stop a person from getting and abusing an animal? Because so far the answer to these is none and no. Which means this "law" is nothing more than further punishment to people that have already been convicted and served their time and a hazard to those people and to innocent people.
As someone who has been convicted of a crime and knows what it is like even 19 years afterwards with a clean record since I can tell you that I am still being punished by society...and my name isn't even on a list that someone can casually look up on the net.
It is nothing more than a scarlet letter for revenge against someone who dares to mistreat an animal unless of course they are hunting or working at a food packing plant etc. An animal must be cute and fuzzy to get any kind of protection I guess. That is the truth of this feel good superficial crap legislation.
