No doubt that I agree with you on that. There are many more prudent ways that the issue could have been taken care of. I am not advocating at all for the beating of a live animal. I just don’t agree with the “should be locked up” statement. Then again even that would have to be dependent on the whole outcome of it. Like three days and a fine or five years. Sorry, don’t get me wrong I am an animal lover. I just get tired of hearing of the “atrocities” of the Michael Vick types, but rapists and murderers are getting plea deals. I have no doubt that what Vick did was despicable and he needed to be punished, but I guess I get overly......sensitive.......for lack of a better term, when it comes to this issue. Worked at a prison for a year and half and alot of times the criminals are let off too easy. Until we get that straightened out I can’t hear about an animal and that “atrocity.” Sorry, off soapbox now.
When people kill animals & when they are children it shows a tendency toward antisocial behavior. Many serial killers started killing animals first, as I am sure you are aware, having worked in a prison... I know plenty of people who have killed animals. I’ve worked for shelters & been a vet tech. I’ve seen the kooks who abuse animals & most of the time they have mental problems of some kind or are violent people. Rapists & murders get off far too easily, I don’t like plea deals either. I am for the death penalty myself.
