Animal Hit And Run: Misdemeanor Or Felony?

In virtually every state in the nation, the act of drivers knowingly hitting an animal and fleeing the scene of the incident is considered a misdemeanor rather than a felony. I suggest that every such incident be mandated and prosecuted as a felony just as it is when a human being is the victim. The animals certainly deserve that consideration. What say you, dear reader?

  1. Very thought provoking - and subject to much debate: (A) Which animals - ALL Animals domesticated or wild animals or both? (B) What if it's done where it's not safe to stop ..... Clarification would certainly be needed ....
