What I want to know is why he who had no choice didn't go to the media before he did the deed. If he was so ordered, so turned down by the SPCA, why not go to the media and spark a huge public outcry and offerings of assistance before the slaughter? Now he wants help with his conscience??

I say "Dude you had your chance to do what was right and you blew it big time. Now you can live with yourself. Good luck."
