Cops Arrest Man in Animal Cruelty Case

     I am glad they have the person they believe to be responsible. My neighbor and I were just talking about this case a few hours ago, and we both were at a loss as to what would possess a person to do such a thing.
      

Many people are suggesting all sort of outrageous punishments for this man. 

I will hold my judgement.
 

     Do not mistake my comment. I do believe he should be punished, but as for the method I want to know why this happened. This man does have a criminal record, so there is a history of miscreant behavior.

• Did he do this in retribution to some imagined slight by a third party? 
• Was he just in the mood to be cruel? 
•  Was he high?

      Perhaps my ruminations on his reason would lead those reading this to think I imagine a scenario that excuses this. That is not farther from the truth. There is absolutely no excuse for this type of behavior ever.
      So why the interest in the underlying reason? Well, people are too quick to think of punishments. Many say "kill him". I don't know that taking his life is called for. He truly is a very messed up person, but will his death solve anything? Perhaps it is easier for me to ruminate over this as it was not my dog.
      I would like to see a more severe punishment than what is currently on the books. 5 years doesn't seem like enough. I would want a psychological review of this man to see what the fuck is broken in his head.
      As for punishment, I will not speculate. I am a very creative individual, but as you know what you type on the internet stays forever, and I would rather keep such dark thoughts to myself.
I am still outraged at this, but my years have given me wisdom that quick retribution is not always best. There are many types of hell a person can be put through worse than death. I will leave such thoughts to the imagination of you all. Karma will reach this man regardless of what punishment man metes out. I only wish I could be there to witness his accounting for his deeds when the time comes.

      I will end this on a positive note. To any of my FB friends that own a dog, (or any pet), and are struggling, please get help. Before any situation devolves into anything remotely like this talk to someone. If you have no one to talk to, at the very least surrender the dog to a shelter where it has a chance of finding a new home. There is no shame in realizing that the responsibility of another life might be too much for a person to handle.
