2 years for killing a cat? I know you all love the little... ...pets, but don’t you think this is slightly out of range?

I think it is appropriate. If someone does something like this, I suspect that someone will someday have to follow a blood trail to find a human being on account of this person.

This is one of those cases where the circumstances dictate the story. If he had stolen and rolled her BMW off of a cliff on purpose, two years wouldn't seem to stiff for that. Throw in malicious torture, and the threat to the mother, and you have a picture of someone who has to be reminded that people who do that shouldn't breathe free air for a while.

This is a lot different than shooting a stray who goes in your garden (which I do not advocate).

Actually your right . People are really silly when it comes to animals. I agree with you except for one minor situation. If he had killed a boxer instead of a cat he should have had his tongue ripped out, dragged behind a car for 5 miles and then experience an auto de fe if still breathing. Other than that your spot on.

Why not? This action of his was an indirect attack on her. It shows me this guy may be capable of hurting her next.

His premeditated action and intent deserves the death sentence if it were up to me.

Two years is not nearly long enough . . .

I don’t consider this enough time for the little snot. :(
