Per the ASPCA, it costs US tax payers over $2 billion dollars to run animal control every year, killing about 10 million cats and dogs annually. Homeless and unwanted animals are subject to animal cruelty-nobody protects and looks after them. To help curb this epidemic of abuse and save tax payers and government money in all levels, if a person were convicted of animal cruelty they should pay a surcharge of no less than $200 (per charge) toward low cost and free spay/neutering programs, and the defendant must also pay for the cost of impounding and treatment of the abused victim. This should be Federal law which States may choose to enact. The fees collected is to be distributed for low cost and free spay/neuter organizations in that State. If a person doesn't like such fines, it is a deterrent to not abuse animals.
