Sometimes, people do change, but there is often a great deal of peer pressure which can hinder change.
I think the only fair 'punishment' for a crime against animals is a job caring for animals (closely watched every minute of course!) I think long service in an animal shelter/rescue should be the sentence for a crime like this. The person should be treated well but firmly, with as much kindness as possible during their sentence. But monitored by a mentor constantly.
The only thing which will expunge a cruel deed, is learning to care and love, and hopefully, learning a positive emotional connection with an animal .
Some of course will be beyond it. But at least they will clear up some dog poop and carry some boxes and do some kind of act of service.
