Here's a link to an article in the local paper. Priscilla, does this make you happy? None of these kids died - which in my opinion the little bastards should suffer the most horrible death imaginable - but 4 little innocent baby goats lost their lives. Is this how all animal cruelty cases should end? Dead animals and kids who walk away SCOT FREE???
"In this particular case, we looked at the fact that these were all very young people. The fact that it was just willful and intentional to bludgeon animals to death … shows they could be well on the path to violent crimes against people." Sounds like someone could have used a lesson here? Like in the alligator's case maybe???
And to top it off, this cruel act made the National Humane Society's top 100 cruelty list. I bet their pahrunts are REAL PROUD! Maybe we could get a bumper sticker made just for them!
It gets better, behind closed doors, the CHARGES WERE DROPPED.
Sick people see animals as nothing more than a punching bag from which to get their kicks. Animals can't talk, can't tell you how much you are hurting them or how scared they are. So because of that, the weak cowards of the world take advantage of them and we have cases like this. I hope in a few years we read about all of the kids in this article, how they have been arrested for some horrible crime against a human. Funny when it's "only an animal" who gets injured, the penalties are so much less severe. Harsh punishment early on could prevent further brutalities.
