...the California case where an angry man who had been involved in a fender-bender snatched a beloved bichon frise from the arms of its owner, the driver of the car that had bumped him, and hurled it into traffic.

The man has been sentenced to three years in prison, a sentence that drew much discussion. Something fundamental must be missing from a person who could commit such an act.

I wonder what sentence the judge would have imposed if it had been a pet rat instead of a dog?
