Police: Teens Bake Puppy in Oven

9/7/2006 @ 8:40:39 AM

ATLANTA (AP) -- Prompted by a case in which a puppy was cooked in an oven, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is calling for tougher animal cruelty penalties in Georgia.

In a letter sent yesterday to Governor Perdue, Howard says no animal should ever be treated in such a way and that when it happens [the tormentor] should be punished severely.

Two teenage brothers are accused of breaking into a community center at an apartment complex last month, bringing with them a five-month-old puppy.

The brothers, ages 17 and 18, allegedly removed two shelves from a commercial gas range, put the puppy in and turned on the gas.

Authorities say the teens, who lived at the apartment complex, also destroyed computers and defaced walls at the center.

The brothers, Justin and Joshua Moulder, have been charged with burglary, criminal damage to property and aggravated cruelty to animals.

Currently, anyone convicted of felony aggravated cruelty to animals can be sentenced to five years in prison. But Howard is calling for an increase in the penalty for the obvious torture of animals.

Brothers to appear in court on animal cruelty charges
ATLANTA

Two brothers charged with torturing a puppy and putting the animal in an oven face a court hearing in Atlanta today.

Seventeen-year-old Joshua Moulder and 18-year-old Justin Moulder are accused of binding the dog with duct tape, dousing her with paint and putting the puppy in an oven at the community center at Englewood Manor Apartments, where they lived.

The brothers face an eleven-count indictment on charges including aggravated cruelty to animals, burglary, criminal damage to property in the second degree, making terroristic threats and five misdemeanor counts of cruelty to children in the third degree.

The child cruelty charges stem from reports by neighborhood children that the teen enticed them to the center to see the dead puppy and threatened to kill them if they told anyone they knew.

The Moulders will have a chance to enter a plea to the charges during their arraignment today.

Meanwhile, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is lobbying state lawmakers to incrase sentences for animal cruelty. The maximum now is five years in prison.

Howard was recently honored by the Humane Society of the United States.

In Howard's words, "Something is wrong with a person who would torture a helpless animal."

This is a very distrubing story. I have no sympthany for anyone who would hurt an innocent animal or child. I don't care how sick they are (and they have to be very sick) the samething should happen to them!:mad:

This is horrible. I always think I read the worst animal cruelty story there is but then there is always something worse :(

I don\'t want to imagine what that poor puppy went through :(

I think that their punishment should come from the Bible, Exodus 21:23-27. An eye for an eye.

I cannot believe it. They are really sick to do such a cruel thing to a helpless puppy. I hope they get alot longer than 5 years I think they should be duck taped painted and put in the oven Sorry for the people who love these kids if you can really even call them kids. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE !!!!!!!!!
