I'm torn on this one because I can't stand the thought of what he did, and thought his punishment was too lite, but he did serve his time.
As Manina said how many dogs were stolen from their loving homes and killed because of what he did. It's my biggest fear that someone will steal my great pyrenees for such a thing just because of his size. So I watch him like a hawk stalking a mouse when he's outside.
I hoped and prayed that he'd get more jail time but he didn't. And I didn't want to see him get picked for another football team where he can become some kid's hero. I hoped he'd have to work that construction job for a few years and stay out of trouble before some team signed him.
But to the football league it's all about the money and will he bring fans to their teams. Well, he will bring protesters for sure. Which is still free publicity to them, so they don't care. It's all about the $$$$$. So sickening to know that's what matters most. Not the truth, not honor, not integrity, not their responsibility to teach our youth how to become a great upstanding citizen. They teach them to take what they can and demand more for less.
But he did pay what our justice system demanded of him. We can't expect him to go out and imprison himself. We can hope and pray that he tries to do what is right, but will he? I think we should demand harsher punishment for persons who abuse animals. Just like people who view child porn, it doesn't take long until these sicko's are acting out. One thing's for sure, we'll be watching if he does mess up!!! |
