40 percent of them had abused animals.
As ussual a politition using irrelevent statistics to make a grab from more revenue. What is ipportant in such a debate would be the percentage of animal abusers that go on to commit violent crimes, it is likely this number is well below 40%. An while they are at it would it not make a hell lot more sense to register violent criminals first since their is much higher corrolation their?. This is nothing more than a grab for more tax money in a financial strapped state in the quise of addressing a "public good" which never materializes or was not needed in the first place.
