I agree that he needs to be shot. And I fear that I might do the shooting if I witnessed something like that. I doubt that it would be judged "justifiable homicide" in Arizona.
For some reason we seem to hear about lots of animal cruelty cases in this state. I don't know if the rest of you hear the same number of them where you are. Dogs shot with arrows, doused with gasoline and burned, fitted with barbed-wire collars, kittens duct taped to the freeway, cats dragged behind cars with ropes - the list goes on and on. Is the Phoenix area a hotbed of animal cruelty or is that normal all over the country?
The reason pet-killing is such a concern for law enforcement is that people who torture and kill house pets for fun usually graduate to humans later on in life. Jeffrey Dahmer is one famous example. Search for "vampire of sacramento" to find another one.
Jeeze that is just sad. Words escape me.
