Although I hardly think 2 years is equal to the pain that poor dog experienced, at least it's a step in the right direction. This is a big issue in my area. A man recently went into the Humane Society, stole a cat, and beat it to death. It was the most awful thing I've ever heard, and I couldn't even bring myself to read the articles on it. The Humane Society brought a couple of charges against the man, and is working hard to get him some time. You would think that the law would be a little tougher on people who do cruel things like this. Don't most serial killers start out by abusing animals?? Either way, a person who is able to maliciously hurt an animal should not be walking the streets- who knows what they are capable of?? |
