First Of All-Kyle Mason Driver is not a convicted felon as some of you may think. There is a big difference. He was charged with a felony, but adjudication was withheld, so therefore, he is not listed as a convicted felon.

Killing someone’s livestock is no different from setting their car on fire – its felony destruction of private property.

If the animal lover weenies feel better because he as charged with animal cruelty then I’m glad they’re happy.

The end result that this jerk is in jail where he ought to be.

I love animals and I am glad to see that little jerk punished. I think he should get more than just a year of jail time. Animals cannot speak so we have to speak for them. Make calls on our judgement to make sure they are feeling ok.

“JB’s Mother” according to you it’s o.k. to kill/murder one type of animal (undomesticated) vs. another type of animal (domesticated)? For instance it’s o.k. to kill/murder a deer but not a donkey? That makes perfect sense.

So as a self proclaimed animal lover you surely don’t eat any type of meat or fish, correct? I sure hope that’s the case! Because, being an animal lover and mother of a donkey I don’t possibly see how you could possibly eat any type of meat or condone such horrible behavior! And if you do eat meat of any type… you know being the animal lover that you are, wow!

Let’s all be clear here. It was a donkey. Yes the punk should be punished but let’s let the punishment fit the crime! And all you animal lovers, geez, get over yourself.

If you were a true animal lover you’d be livin’ as you’re preachin’.

So, let me get this straight: He gets a felony conviction before he’s even old enough to purchase alcohol (or a pack of cigarettes in Alabama); spends a year in jail soaking up your tax dollars; and three years of probation for shooting a dumb animal that just happened to give birth at the same time he shot it? Wow! And this is in a county where drug dealers, sex offenders, and mentally ill homeless people are released from the county jail on a daily basis, yet he’s a donkey killer, so he’s the worst of the worst now. Unbelievable! No wonder more people keep leaving Escambia county everyday. I personally feel sorry for this young man because as a convicted felon, he’ll never get a decent job, house, or have any hopes or aspirations like many kids the same age as him have. And for what, a stupid, stupid donkey? I hope you’re all happy a young man’s life is ruined and now he’ll turn out to just be another statistic and inmate for the state to look after. But hey, as long as the baby donkey’s OK, that’s what’s important, right? I’m glad I said good riddance to Escambia county a long time ago.

For all of the Kyle Driver apologists out there, the reason he is in this self-induced predicament is because of his own callous stupidity. Do you want to blame the donkey? Let us apply your, “…it is just a donkey…” type rationale to Mr. Driver; well, he is just a convicted felon and a criminal.

This young guy will probaly spend his time at the road prison, going outside to work with other prisoners daily. Maybe he’ll learn a good lesson and do better.

No doubt its wrong….jail time maybe not..dont know the boys background….should make the boy take care of the baby donkey…feed it …wipe it…put it to bed every nite like a baby..( under other supervision ) for a year…then if he dont do it or if it dies ….send him to jail…after he buries the donkey…cant help but to say the donkey is smarter than the boy though…there is a joke in this story somewhere…I will leave it alone for now

I don’t think his sentence was too harsh. I also don’t think that sentences for drunk driving, etc, are harsh enough.
For all the people who say he should be doing community service caring for animals, would you trust him with the lives of your own precious animals, or the lives of animals who’ve already had a hard life and been given a second chance because they’ve been rescued? I would not trust him around my animals.
I hope he comes to realize that what he did was wrong and changes his ways for good, but he still has to receive his punishment.
Did he ever say why he did it or that he was truly sorry for his actions?

charged as an adult with felony animal cruelty or death, using a weapon during the commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a minor….
so a minor is charged as an adult? what is He, a minor or an adult? can’t have it both ways. or shouldn’t be
