| "justice!!" I get Care2.com newsletters and today I got this. I didt know they had tried them yet. Last August, two teenage brothers in Atlanta, GA, were charged with torturing and baking a three-month-old puppy to death. Just recently, justice was served - the brothers received the maximum sentence allowable in each of the nine counts under which they were charged. These sentences will be served concurrently, and in effect, the young men will serve 10 years in prison and 10 years under strict probation, for a total of 20 years. The horrific death of this poor puppy touched animal lovers around the world, and the strong sentencing in this case highlights how strongly the public feels about cruelty toward animals. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard felt so strongly about seeking justice in this case ? describing the death of this puppy as "so egregious it cries out for special attention" - that he sent a letter to Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue requesting that the penalty for animal cruelty be raised above the current five year maximum. DA Howard should be applauded for his commitment to justice and the humane treatment of animals. Not long enough in my book but its a start to let people know they cant do this kind of thing and get away with it. When I read this I just couldnt quit thinking about poor little Spirit and how she was also treated. I cried for two hours after I read te thread where she had passed. I saw her on TV being so brave. Poor Babies. |
