I'm without words.

Lord of the Flies - urban style.

[Jim Noble]

We have lost sight of the horrible effects of crimes like this on the emotional well-being of the children whose animals were hurt or killed.

There is enormous attention paid to the crimes of advanced sociopaths (which is good).

But this is where sociopaths are born, and grow up.

I think the boys who did this should be horsewhipped.

Not because it would delight me (it would), but because it MIGHT make it possible that the course of their character development that led them to this place could be interrupted.

And it might make it possible for the other childen to grow up believeing that justice can be done.

[Bikers4Bush]

Do to the kids what they did to the pigs. See how they like it.

[TheBigB]

There is a definite correlation between kids who start out torturing animals and end up as adults killing people. These punks need to be locked up for a long, long time.

[Tax-chick]

This is beyond words. I could throw up, but how would that help?

If only we could just have them put to sleep (the boys, I mean) before they do this again, to people. Or implant a microchip in them so they can be tracked everywhere for the rest of their lives. And sterilize them, immediately.

[ClearCase_guy]

Bingo! These are like sheep-killing dogs. It's not a childish act. It is not a forgivable act. It is a sign of things to come from these wretches.

[MEG33]

They are walking time bombs.I shudder to think what they may be capable of against humans.They need to be punished and taught the consequences of their cruelty.

[mtbopfuyn]

Unfortunately, they'll be out on the streets in no time. Next time they won't stop at pigs but go after young girls or boys. The most that community can hope for is for these sickos to be run out of town to prey on some other unsuspecting community.

[PresbyRev]

I repudiate animal rights - but certainly believe in animal welfare.

These boys are sociopaths who should receive a good dose of their own medicine before being permanently removed from society - removed one way or another.

[Liberty Valance]

Degenerate punks. I can sort of understand burglary and general destructive behavior and angst in teenagers but this is perverse and goes against all human civility.
A clear case of evil.

[nina0113]

You can't just put them in jail.

Hell you can't.

[Denver Ditdat]

Bitter experience says that by the time they are old enough to have their names published, humans will have taken the place of pigs in their future crimes.

[Gorzaloon]

There is a definite correlation between kids who start out torturing animals and end up as adults killing people. These punks need to be locked up for a long, long time.

In all cases where I have personally known children who tortured animals, they ended up later treating people no better.

Decades ago, a "troubled child" tortured and maimed one of my pets. He later grew up to be a burden to the "Justice" system and to society.

I hate myself, and feel dirty, after all this time, for not killing the little bastard as I should have.

[Little Pig]

Feed these kids to the pigs, preferably whole and ambulatory.

[cavtrooper21]

Hillary's (and the ultra left's) children, raised by a village.
Given the "freedom" to express themselves.

These kids will be perfect "stormtroopers" when they get older. The perfect psycotic thugs. Look for them at street rallies near YOU in about 8 years.

I hope the kid who had their live stock savaged get a little back. With an axe handle.

[Huck]

ditto

[catonsville]

I have second thoughts about using lobotomies on certain people.

I was against it, but now......

[shhrubbery!]

Right, these perps will be doing the same things to humans. I don't think there's any 'rehabilitating' this kind of criminal.

I don't usually favor passing more laws, but this kind of crime screams for extra legislation. Juveniles who commit these atrocities should be monitored for life.

Requiring unremovable electronic ankle bracelets monitoring their every movement would be a good start.

[drjoe]

this kind of behavior towards animals is a well known precursor to similar behavior directed towards humans - it is an index behavior of, for example, serial killers. however it is usually a solitary behavior and seldom a group activity as referred to here. Is it an indicator of a new form of sociopath - the group serial killer?
