One person's story of senseless animal cruelty
Note: Cruelty to Pets (i.e., taKing, concealing, injuring, killing, etc.) is a Class C Felony (RCW 9.08.070). Animal cruelty in the first degree is also a Class C felony (RCW 16.52.205). Maximum sentences for Class C felonies: "Confinement in a state correctional institution for fice years, or by a fine in an amount fixed by the court of $10,000, or by both such confinement and fine." (RCW 9A.20.021)
