The guy who slashed the horse with a meat cleaver?, should people like this go to prison?

Who RU

Well, there are some people who still eat meat, and that takes a lot of animal cruelty but it's sanctioned by the state.

joan k

He should go to prison and they should throw the key away.

robert c

Yes!!

i think any crime against animals should yeild the equivelant punishment if a similar crime were committed on a human. animals have feelings too, they cry, they experience joy, sickness, and other types of feelings. animal creulty is horrible, i dont see how someone could even imagine to hurt another living "thing." i find it absolutely repulsive.

Sweet Girl

I definitely think he should go to prison for a long time. Animal cruelty usually leads to human cruelty....sick in the mind.

Saintrotter

He should have his hand cut off with the very same meat cleaver he used to slash the horse.

Greg 2008 JPA

Yes he should go down for several years and be fined a large sum of money.Sentences for animal cruelty need to get much tougher or it will never stop.

Tuski

I think their punishment should be comparable to that of offenses against humans.

Why do we assume the disregard for life stops there?

Maggs

5 months? Might as well slap his hands and tell him not to do it again.
And in reply to the earlier answer, yes animals are killed for food, but they are not hacked about with a meat cleaver for the sake of it.

Guaranteed Irish!!!

pity he does not get bit of his own medicine while in detention teach him a lesson might think twice bout doing it again and the sick people like him!!!

john s

i agree sickos like that deseve prison problem is we gotta pay for it the cost of keeping these people in prison is astronomical

LEONARD W

I read about this. There's something seriously wrong with him. He should be placed in a secure hospital for treatment, before he graduates to people.

They should make him volunteer for peta after he serves his sentence as a form of community service. A month or two with those nutjobs is sure to get him to think twice before hurting a poor defenceless animal.

watch..horse slaughter houses..on you tube and you will see HUNDREDS of horses having their throats slashed every day!!

Mordecai Zion

more so than quarterback michale vice. but neither compare to oj. vick was sent to prison for allow his cohorts to operate a dog fighting kennel from his property out of town.

vick should have been fined and suffered some damage but he was a scapegoat. oj was cheered by some for getting off. i love horses so i get kinda sick thinking about the meat cleaver used on a horse. but i don't know what is appropriate for such a terrible thing. there was a famous depressing play called "equis" that had the sick central character blinding a horse. i never watched it. i thought that was totally a bad idea for a play. could have made the point some other way.

with war, threat of terrorism globally, and potential economic recession/depression, this seems a tad like sensationalism in the media, actually.

the culprit and the horse, well, i will leave that to god to decide. i am not got and you are not god, i guess.

oldtimer

To be fair, he did work in an abattoir.
