Jail time at the very least for all involved.

This is not just abuse of animals, it is a deliberate torture taken by people who knew better AND were paid to protect and care for them. To me this is worse than an ignorant and uncaring pet owner. It is especially bad because animals were to be kept for prosecution evidence allowing perps to walk free.

I hope that the courts take all of this into account when sending them to prison for as long as possible.
