But criminal charges are ridiculous.
I am a dog lover. I also believe in property rights. This should be a property dispute. No cruelty charge, it was his dog.
Please explain why a pet deliberately left to die a cruel, unnecessary death is not a criminal act? If this dog’s owner had chosen to put it out of its misery in a humane way, he would’ve been within his rights, as well as kinder to the animal.
Yes, animals are the property of the owners, but they are not furniture. We owe them food, water, shelter and what care we can afford to give.
He’s lucky I’m not the judge,
He’d get the max, each count to be served consecutively, without the possibility of parole.
