"Man who fed puppy to boa..."

Uggghhhh...

That is just so wicked.

[DogByte6RER]

Joseph Beadle...you and I have some iisues to resolve!

[doc1019]

Should feed him to boa.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Not good atall!

[OCCASparky]

They’ve got time for this, but not for the hundreds of thousands of illegals streaming through Phoenix.

Go figure.

Sumbitch should be found face-down in an alley with a hole in his forehead.

There’s two things you never hurt. Babies and helpless animals.

This arsehole needs to be introduced to Mr. Woodchipper.

[familyop]

People buy baby hamsters to feed them to their snakes.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Suppose he’d caught, oiled, and fed a rat, squirrel, or woodchuck to the snake?

It’s not stated whether the oil gave the snake indigestion....

I once owned a very large burmese python.

I had the decency to feed it cute bunny rabbits, not puppies.

[SteveMcKing]

How do we pick and choose what species are special? Animals violently consume each other a billion times a day on this planet.

I once had a cat that killed baby bunnies just for fun. I’d try to stop her, but you can’t get upset over it...

[SevenofNine]

NOT COOL AT ALL

I hope he get his a*** kick in jail

[rednesss]

In other news, local animal shelters killed thousands of cute cuddly puppies and kittens and not one of them was prosecuted. Was what this guy did reprehensible?? You bet. Was it criminal??? No f’n way. What’s the difference between the big furry rabbit and the puppy aside from sentimentality????

[wgflyer]

One wonders what mammal might be a politically correct meal for a large serpent. Is it ok to feed a rat to the snake, but cruel to feed a puppy? How about a kitten?

I question the rationality of a system that sentences a man to 3 months in jail for feeding his pet a meal that, otherwise, most of us might find cute and cuddly. (even if he is a horses rear end)

[vox humana]

Beadle will enjoy serving the remaining {{{HOT}}} days of his jail sentence at Sheriff Joe’s Desert Inn. LOL

[RichInOC]

No, no, no! That ain’t right!

...he should have sauteed the little fella first...

[Calpernia]

Meat eaters don’t eat tofu.

As much as I love puppies, I don’t know why a guy would go to jail for this. It’s just fine to feed a snake a mouse, a rat, a hamster, even a rabbit, but feed the snake a puppy and you’re going to jail? It’s okay to clip a chicken’s beak when it’s a baby, inject it full of hormones and steroids, etc., and raise it under horrible conditions and then slaughter it and sell its flesh to be eaten, but some yahoos set up a cock fight and they’re going to jail for cruelty to animals. That doesn’t make any sense to me. They’re animals. If you own an animal and you want to kill it, I wouldn’t approve unless it had to be done. I wouldn’t like it and I wouldn’t like you for doing it. But I wouldn’t put you in jail for it, because it’s just and animal and because it’s your property and your business, not mine. Touch my dog and we’d have a big problem, but if you want to feed your puppies to your snake, that’s your business.

[Born to Conserve]

Is he guilty of cruelty to animals, or cruelty to dog lovers?

I see no difference between feeding rodents to snakes and feeding dogs to snakes.

This guy is going down because people who think dogs are people are railroading him.

[WriteOn]

Sorry, if he didn’t steal the puppy I don’t know why it matters...

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The dog and cat have a ‘special relationship’ with man. I have owned dogs all my life and they have been well treated. Yet I have no feelings against dog, cock or bull fights. I would not send a man to jail if he arranged such fights. In short I guess I have mixed feelings with regard to jailing people for animal cruelty charges. This case does seem a little gross due to the ‘special relationship;’ more inappropriate than criminal are the terms I’m looking for.
