Cowards Who Prey on Animals

[HairOfTheDog]

I do not think a person should go to jail for killing an animal. They should be fined and made to get counseling for their anger issues. If the case was that getting tossed in jail for the killing of an animal would be jail time anyone that kills an animal should be jailed. It is the intent not the action that sets them apart.

In some circumstances, I'd agree. This is an extreme case, where the animal was a pet, the killing was intentional and for revenge, the killing was brutal, etc... Imo, this kind of extreme act of cruelty could be a precursor to similar acts levied upon people.

This guy is a ticking time bomb.

Would you think he should only have to go to anger management classes and pay a fine if instead of beating his boss's dog to death the disgruntled employee had taken revenge by entering his boss's house/business and stolen money or busted up his property? I wouldn't.
