Are tropical fish protected by animal cruelty laws? 12 monsters murdered in Ohio.

[matthewr262]

Long story short. Soon to be ex wife had her car repoed and took revenge by pouring bleach into my 1200gal pool.
Killing 5 large pacu, 2rtc, 2hybrid cats, 1pb, Oscar and a jack Dempsey.
Anyone with knowledge in the legality of animal abuse to tropical fish would be helpful.

Found this. Might at least be some sort of legal precedent.

Document everything.

Document everything.

Police took photos and I dropped off 3 fish to the humane society for necropsy. Police also put in the report the apparent use of bleach.
