While every story of abuse is a tragedy that rips at our hearts, and tears at our understanding of humanity, sometimes, there is a "happy" ending. Take Chunky for example. He was taken from his home and brutally beaten. Yet he survived, his attackers charged, and reforms to the law were introduced.

This shouldn't happen to any animal. We as a society detest this sort of behavior, and I believe, it should be treated much more harshly under the law.
