Should repeat animal abusers be barred from owning pets?

It saddens me when I read about young people being cruel to animals.

It is important for young people to realise that they should respect life, including the lives of animals.

I think it is important for schools to teach children that respect.

Teachers should take time during lessons to discuss animal-welfare issues.

The mistreatment of animals is serious in Hong Kong. The government should increase the penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty to act as a deterrent.
