Carlos Kleiber, 74; Brilliant, Reclusive Conductor. Carlos Kleiber, a conductor of tremendous mystique who had the uncanny ability to animate the smallest details in a piece of music yet whose personal elusiveness made him one of the most enigmatic stars of the classical music world, has died.
First of all, it's not illegal to kill a cat or a dog as it's an unfortunate reality for the ones who end up at the humane society or are put down due to illness. Animal cruelty however is illegal and most states have statutes w/ minimum punishments for those caught and convicted.
I was reading a report in which someone went to prison for microwaving a kitten to death, and someone else went to prison for poisoning his girlfriends puppy... why is it illegal to do that but not illegal to kill a cockroach, etc... they also kill chickens and cow and other for food.
