It's a sad and sorry fact of life that some people will do terrible things to themselves, their kids, and their animals. I read just the other day about dressage trainers still using a form of training banned by the governing bodies. Short of video cameras covering every square foot of the world, how could you stop it? That may be coming, but I'm glad I'll be gone from this world before it happens.
Laws and rules help control and minimize but they can't eliminate the worse of human behavior. Look at dog fighting and cock fighting. Laws have driven them underground and reduced the incidence but haven't eliminated it.
I agree that it's sad to see the many punished for the sins of the few. I wish there were more cases where abusers were forbidden from ever owning a dog again, something a little easier to enforce.
