” The dogs also experienced “mental anguish” from being forced to stare at a bag of unopened dog food while being starved.”
Molten lead.
Dogs have sensitive noses, so they could probably smell the food through the bag. And they’re not dumb, so they probably knew what the image of dog food in a bowl on the bag represented.
Lead in projectile form from a gun would probably be too merciful.
Or a quart of antifreeze to drink while being forced to stare at a pitcher of ice water just out of reach...
Probably an aspiring serial killer-evil sonofabitch...
