The winners and the losers
• Loser: Utah's animal abuse laws are among the weakest in the nation, according to the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Normally, reports from special-interest groups don't amount to much, but this one deserves a closer look. Independent research has shown that people who torture animals for pleasure sometimes graduate to the field of human torture and murder. The law needs to reflect the seriousness of such crimes and extend reasonable protection to defenseless animals. Humans and animals alike would benefit.
