kyle you must be young and for sure thats no crime, ,And good for you for apparently being responsible when you got your gun, I admit it was not all that uncommon in my neighbor hood , well they two young boys who had guns are no longer living, But I know this is your friend, but he committed a terrible crime, With time , you will learn more responsabilty of life, and have more to care for. You learn this you will learn such things as well I have been there and its water under the bridge, when you find somthing you may care about, a dog, or cat or your prize truck, and when some one destroys what you loved and care for, Then you will understand what some of these folks are feeling, and you may realize the charges are not such BS, You may disgaree with me now but many years later you will, Its part of the growing older . Your friend will have to pay, and its best for him to show as much remorse as he can, and realize taking life in such a mean way is wrong, You can not even confuse this with hunting who hunts deer witha 22,, But even that you eat what you hunt,. Be there for your friend and learn from his mistake…

The boy needs to face the music now. If you “google” Jeffrey Dahmer you will see what cruelty to animals can progress to. Don’t be foolish enough to underestimate the combination of teenage testosterone and weapons.

I don’t understand the comments “oh maybe he thought it was a deer…?” What the heck oh so I can come on your property and shoot what I like and claim I thought it was a deer?

Lets see in Escambia County we like to bury dogs alive up to their necks, drag donkeys down major roadways, shoot pregnant animals and I know there was another horse shooting (one or more?) on private property in Cantonment but thats o.k. cause the Bible gives us domain over the amimals. You can’t blaim the media for reporting this. Fact is these things happen here.

Stay on the subject. Teenager shot animal. Teenager pays price.

I do not understand, what child who was openly murdered got less attention than this donkey has gotten ? And if it was child he would be looking at life, right now he probably looking at few months at Camp Vaction..
And bottle feeding is no big deal, I can guarnete you have not bottle feed as many as i have, If not careful he could get bloat and host of other issues. Its dedication and time consuming for somthing it did not have to be done.
I do know to some folks its just a dum donkey, or its just a Stinky goat, or a stupid dog, or 4 legged rat( Cat).
But to me Proverbs 12 ;10 states so much for us to think about. This poor donkey has no one to speak out except a group of dedicated people.
Granted I do not think this Child , 17 years old , more like 12 yrs old, should not be punished, I think hard work could fix him up, you know crack dawn, to sun set hard work, to build some decent charcter in this young child .
When i was yound going to Tate high, its was not uncommon for anyone not have hunting rifle. I am no suprised he had one.
He is not to smart . No Charter, and lack of compassion, At least i will give him that he had felt guilt as he did turn himself in.
I hope JB makes it… Its shame were has the compassion gone ?

WHY did this kid have a gun in the first place? How many of you who are parents let your kids drive around with shotguns in their vehicles? I certainly don’t and I doubt many others do.

I’d like to know who gave him the gun.

Was he trying to night hunt and thought he shot a deer or did he know it was a donkey? Either way it was illegal.

This boy deserves the most harsh sentence possible. I’ll be surprised if he gets it though.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean “Northescambia.com”. This is our area, our neighbors, our community.
I am talking about the world news, other news stations.
I like the fact that this site is doing such a great job on OUR COMMUNITY.
I do not like the fact, that I can turn on the news and still see stories on tv about this little donkey, but can’t even find any new updates on the missing child “Haleigh Cummings”. Or the girl found murdered in the dumpster!

Northescambia.com does a great job. This is our community. I want to know follow-ups on this story to see what progresses and what he gets.
I think this boy should be punished. But what he is being charged with is probably going to carry a 5 yr or more sentence.
CRUELTY to Humans or Animals should tug at everyone’s heartstrings. And I say if this kid has a record of this kind of cruelty, then get him off the street.
