Assignment:

As of November 25th, 2019, it is a felony to commit animal cruelty in any state (which almost always results in the animals' death). Previously, each state decided on their own how they would punish people for animal cruelty. Since it is now federal law, the minimum punishment for animal cruelty is 1 year in prison and the person is a convicted felon for their life.

First offense domestic abuse is usually punished with 3 years probation. It is *not* a felony unless there are prior offenses of a violent nature.

Which is worse, animal abuse or domestic assault? Is it just about pleasure and pain? If we are consistent Utilitarians, which causes more pain? Should the punishments for these two be equal?
