Ok, this happened in the US and it is just horrible.
This is a news article --> http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050729/NEWS02/507290349/1018
And another --> http://www.theempirejournal.com/072105_peta.html
and here is a site dedicated to the dog. http://rememberroxi.com/_wsn/page2.html
Here is the basic outline, i dont know how to quote, so ill just copy and paste
"PUTNAM VALLEY — A 40-year-old Putnam Valley man is due in Town Court on Thursday to answer a felony charge of animal cruelty after he was accused of kicking his neighbor's 15-year-old deaf dog so severely that it later died.
A witness said Aquino had "walked over to the dog and kicked (it) like a football" in the abdomen, said Capt. William McNamara of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
The arthritic dog had staggered to another neighbor's yard and died under a tree, where owners Lisa and Bill Sampson found their beloved pet.
After the attack, Pizzuto said "the dog tumbled several times" and "then slowly got up and walked away," according to the police report. Deputy John Wynne handled the investigation and arrested Aquino on Sunday evening. He was charged with aggravated cruelty to an animal.
Aquino entered a not-guilty plea, court personnel said. If convicted, he could face up to two years in jail and a maximum $5,000 fine. "
I just think this is horrible, if someone can do something like this to a dog for wandering into his yard, imagine what he could do to a person if they say, had an affair with his wife. There is such a tiny step from this to abusing a human. or i think so personally.
What do all of you think should be done to people who abuse animals like this?
A mere fine? a jail sentence? id like to hear your opinion.
