My wife & her liberal 'dog friends' don't believe in capital punishment -- but in this guy's case, they'd gladly make an exception. An interesting window into the way the liberal mind works...

That's my whole problem with all the "animal cruelty" legislation. Look, this guy deserves our scorn, he deserves for all of us to look at him with suspicion and a jaundiced eye, and he deserves to be bitten by every dog he nears. But, I just can't see giving him more jail time than the farmer who slaughters a squealing hog.

Yes, it's a different act - in terms of intent and pyschology. But in each case, an animal is dead. Since I still like to eat bacon, I'd rather not see the laws creep in the direction of branding me as an accessory to murder, just for my choice of breakfast.
