Maybe this guy would like me to hold his hand on the coals for maybe 15 ro 20 seconds.

Dear God in heaven. It takes a special kind of monster to do something so horrible to a defenseless animal.

What makes it worse is people were standing around, watching it, actually enjoying themselves.

The very thought of this is so bleeping obscene there are no words for it.

RE:Charles C. Benoit, 24, was charged with animal abuse, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine
 
the guy sounds like some kind of sociopath (and his friends that sat there watching aren't much better) - but the penalty here is frigging ridiculous and flat out out of line. 5 years in prison? get real.

There are some really sick and/or people in the world.

Int eh summer of 1995, I worked as a camp counselor. Either due to my patient nature of because I missed orientation, I was stuck with the kids no one else wanted.
These ranged from some girls, who on the first day pretended to be drowning to get me to jump in after them, to an autistic boy named John. John was about 7 or 8. He was supposedly only mildly autistic. Still he did not always seem to understand that pain and bad things were corellated. Moreover, he seemed to completely lack empathy. He was also fascinated with fire and locks.
At any rate, his parents bought a puppy for him and his older sister. (Poor girl was only 11, but seemed 30).
A few days later, I noticed that John stopped comming to camp. I asked his sister what was going un. She told me that after teh puppy had soiled his bed, John poured gas on the puppy and torched it. (As you can imagine she started to cry.) Their parents simply buried the dog. Evenutally John came back to camp. I asked him about the puppy and he told me that it would never soil his room.
I have never been so scared of a a kid in my life. I have since found out that he was institutionalized for attemped arson.

I don't know if this is happening more often or if it is being reported more often - but I see more of this in the news. I do not believe animals have "rights" but I believe as living creatures they should not be mistreated. This was sadism. I have 2 cats and if someone tried this I would probably be jailed for what I would do back.

IMO, it is just another sign of the decay of our society. We do not respect human life, so why should it be surprising that people would do this to animals?

What kind of person would get a kick from this? I would really be interested to see what kind of lifestyle the people who did this live.

I bet he gets more than the 4 years that Knoller got for allowing her dogs to maul a person to death. Boy, have we got our priorties right!

If some of you bleeding hearts could get as concerned about the killing of innocent babies as you are about animals, we might get abortion outlawed in this country.

A man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly burning a kitten on a barbecue grill as several other people stood around and watched in amusement.

Amusement? Let me at them. I will amuse them for hours.

Me, and a big stick.

I forgot. When I get through with them, then SunGirl gets her turn.

She will make them beg to have me come back.

This is the first step. Next thing, people like this are snatching girls out of their bedrooms or from the sidewalks in front of their homes.

Where the hell do these kind of monsters exist...they are just lucky I WASN'T there.....I would have no problem going nuts with these lowlife sob's. GOD I WANT THEM.

I can understand the sentiment but we do have due process here.
