I know. I've helped in prison ministries so I know how bad some can be.

However, this is why we need much stiffer penalties for the actual crimes or, perhaps, a torture penalty that is prescribed by the government (and not allowed by inmates upon other inmates).

This is not why we should lock up someone who beat a wolf-dog to death.

Wolves are killed each day just for being around pasture animals.

My issue isn't the killing,
it is the pleasure the guy got out of the killing.

And that he did it with his bare hands, out of control etc.
Have you ever had them tell you about how good it felt to hear the bones break, the screams, the body softening under repeated assault etc? I have...and I ain't even a shrink! They just get off on retelling the story!

I clean kill, minimal suffering for the right reasons- no problem. But this guy I don't want anywhere near anyone I care about.
