This Was On Dogster - Graphic - But Perhaps You Can Write A Letter

I will most definitely send a letter.

The details of what that poor puppy went through are extremely disturbing. May God have mercy on these troubled "men".

The story calls them men. I thought they were talking about kids. It seems that older men should know better. How old are these morons? No matter what age they are, it will be people they're torturing next. I hope they get the max and never get out. It would be beneficial to the judge to make sure this happens.

I have copied and pasted the letter to go out tomorrow. What an outrage!!

I'm sorry but it's wrong to write letters to a judge about a case. It's the judges job to decide a case and punishment based on the law and the facts of the case NOt public openion or letters from people who weren't in the court room but read an article in the paper. Otherwise we may as well televise trials and have the jury the the public phoning in. sure nightly trial TV instead of american idol. Really we don't even need a trial just read or watch a report and phone in the verdict. Or better yet go back to public lynchings of anyone we don't like. After all it's majority rule and if you can get a crowd behind you to write letters the judge will go along.

It's also a Crime to try and influence a judge.

It's a little more exceptable to write a DA and ask them to ask the judge for the max sentence or to peruse a case but not writing a judge dirrectly.

How old are these "men?" If they're young enough, I would think counseling would be in order. It's a bit much to say that every human person who committed a heinous crime against a non-human animal would therefore commit a similarly heinous crime against another human. And, I'm not saying I'm not horrified by this, because I am. It's sickening to the worst degree to think of what these people did to a helpless creature. But, again, if these "men" are teenagers, I might reconsider life in prison. But then I don't know where I'd have the cutoff age at, either. I don't know what I'd consider instead, as I don't know the restraints of the law really, but I don't think life in prison is necessarily appropriate just based on this. Poor dog. He must have been so afraid. Crap, now I'm crying.
