PIERCE COUNTY - A hostile courtroom watched Friday afternoon as a Tacoma judge set bail at $4300 for two men accused of animal cruelty.

There were 50 people in the courtroom and 50 more in the hall and outside. Members of animal welfare groups had gathered outside the Courthouse earlier, carrying signs demanding a maximum five-year penalty for the men.

Troy L. Loney, 18, Steven L. Paulson, 20, both of Wilkeson are accused of killing a stray dog with a bow and arrow. They reportedly tied the dog to a tree and shot it at least 10 times with an arrow. When the dog was dead they threw it's body into the river.

Loney says they killed the Siberian husky humanely early last month because it appeared to be sick.

Both men plead not guilty to first degree animal cruelty.
