I am super proud to see an animal abuser finally get some prison time.!! And to mr. John’s comment about animals have more rights than people.. THAT is far from the truth!! Yes, there r some that take animal rights to extreme. But as bad as this selfish world has became, that may a good thing. Animals are honest and innocent. Human is the most dangerous animal on earth!!
This is why I won’t adopt pets, or have any, because they have more rights than people….It is rapidly becoming a liability in owning animals. Kinda like when hotels used to having diving boards. So one day you might forget fluffy’s de-wormer meds and someone comes knocking on your door! @ Jason Ward you are exactly right.
I agree with Jason. Just another burden on the already over taxed working people but I don’t want to pay for his med’s either. There needs to be a system that requires the inmates to take part in a work program where they earn a wage that is then used to offset the cost of their expenses while incarcerated. Any monies left over can then be placed in account for them to use when they are released. I understand there is no way they can earn enough to cover the full cost of incarceration but at least this would hold them some what responsible for their needs, while reducing the burden on the tax payers.
mental help; get him on meds don’t let him be responsible for anything. But as a tax payer do I want to spend $ 64,000 a year to incarcerate him? what else has he done
Finally! A prison sentence for an animal abuser; excellent!
Keep him away from children and animals…
