Gov. Ralph Northam signed a bill that was dubbed "Tommie's Law", which ups the penalty from a misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony. The crime now carries a punishment of one to five years in prison.
The new law closes a loophole that allowed the perpetrator to only be charged with a misdemeanor if the animal survived the abuse, animal rights advocates say.
Tommie was a pit bull who died after being tied to a pole and intentionally set on fire in a Richmond park. No arrests have been made in the case.

Does Northam consider it animal cruelty if I dress my bulldog in blackface?
And he's perfectly fine with infanticide
Why isn't the media all over Northam like they were/are for Trump, Kavanaugh, Judge Roy Moore and other Republicans??
Resign you POS!
Shame on you idiots who won't pressure him to resign!
oh, and where are the calls for quitting???? oh they just give up on that, those liberals do... act outraged, but not really follow thru. hahaha
So if a baby lives through a cruel abortion, is killing it how to close the loophole maki g it a felony?
If no one saw the story, someone tied a dog to a pole, poured gas on him and set him on fire a few weeks ago. That is what what started this law.
