The UK confirmed that the maximum sentence for animal cruelty will increase. The maximum fine will rise from £5,000 to £20,000 and for more serious cases, the maximum sentence will increase from two to five years in prison. This will surely prevent some serious animal cruelty cases.

英国确定将会提高针对虐待动物的最高刑罚。最高罚款将从5000英镑增加到20000英镑，如果情节更严重的话，监禁时间会从2年提高到5年。这将在很大程度上避免严重的动物伤害事件。

9.都灵·规定最低遛狗次数

In Turin, dog owners who walk their pets less than 3 times a day can be fined 500 euros. Hard to believe? Animal lovers are also prohibited from dyeing their pet's fur or "any form of animal mutilation" as the city doesn't want Italians to turn their pets into ridiculous fluffy toys!

在都灵，主人一天遛狗少于三次会被罚款500欧元，是不是有点难以置信？同时，也禁止动物爱好者给宠物染毛，或任何形式的残害，因为都灵不希望意大利人把他们的宠物变成可笑的毛绒玩具！

10.俄克拉荷马州·妥善处理咬伤案件

If a person gets bitten or injured by a dog, he has two years to file a lawsuit in the state's civil court system. However, the good news is that the dog owner might raise a few defenses if the injured person provoked the dog.

如果一个人被狗咬伤或因狗受伤，他可以在两年内向该州的民事法庭系统提起诉讼。另外，还有个好消息，如果受伤的人先惹怒狗，狗的主人可以作一些辩护。

这些动物保护法不止是为了保护动物的生命和权利，更是为了提高人们爱护动物的意识。

可以不喜欢动物，但请不要伤害它们~如果遇到需要救助的动物，请量力而行地给予帮助~

希望有一天，你可以拥有一只爱宠，陪你晒太阳，听你说心事。
