``so offensive and so calculated and so gratuitously cruel it diminishes the humanity of everybody.''

Give me a break! Yeah, it might have been cruel, but to send the guy up for a year when thousands of baby killers get off scott free shows the pathetic moral climate of our society.

Wake up folks! It was a litter of kittens, not someone's child.

I think he probably would have gotten more than a year if he'd dropped the inmate's sick baby into a trash compactor. Geez, aren't you the same guy who said it was cruel baby killing to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, a creature lacking the brain, heart, and nerve-endings of a kitten? If that act is cruelty, this certainly is.

[Savage Beast]

Wake up, Sangamon. It was wanton cruelty.

Are you standing in for Tabitha Soren?

Just becuase justice is not done elsewhere does not mean it should not be applied here.

One year for this crime seems reasonable to me.

Wake up--it has been determined that people who are so cruel to animals are sick and it's just a matter of time till they do something equally sick to a human.

Wake up....my cats are my kids and are just as important to me.

[Conservative til I die]

Just because abortion is legal does not make cruelty to animals right. I am pro-life btw.

You are spot on (this coming from a vegan). The man's real crime was killing cute animals. I wonder if the judge has ever been to a slaughterhouse?

I have a cat for 16 years, and loved her from the day she was born. If someone killed her, I might just find a new use for my screen name.
