My opinion, but animal cruelty should carry death penalty! You’re not human if you can hurt an innocent animal! Hope you are reading this!
Put that coward in the ring with me he would know what tortured mint. Only person worse than him is a Pedo.
Spent less than four hours in jail, and back out to do it again.
The State Attorney’s office has a great assistant state attorney who specializes in animal abuse cases .
It takes a special kind of weak man with no self esteem or respect to injure and torture an innocent animal. There’s a special place in H*** for pathetic losers like this.
Hope he gets a permanent cellmate who read the same book. There is no excuse for hurting animals.
