Strong laws are needed to show that animal welfare matters.

This is a good law. It's about time these kind of laws came along. I hope they can be enforced.

Anyone that tortures ANY animal in ANY WAY is a yellow belly coward. Abusing your power is the entire problem with the COUNTRY, WALL STREET and every other MO FO in this world. TOO MUCH GREED- TOO MUCH POWER and not enough BALLS to handle it! Animal Torturers are YELOOW BELLIED COWARDS!!!! Tell them I said so. Tell them if they do not like it, come see me... but they wont' because that would require BALLS... something they do not have!

This has got to be one of the most viscous, inhumane, vilest acts that has ever been found out. These two should not only receive the Maximum sentence allowed by law, but should also be committed to an asylum for the criminally deranged. The brutality that was involved in this crime was like something out of a horror movie. Sadistic at every turn. These two should be locked away for life, for the safety and well being of the people and animals. They are indeed a menace and danger to society.

This sick bastard needs to have the same done to him. I hope that Utah realizes how unbelievable this is. Please help the animals they have no voice and we must help them.

I have a dog that endured abuse before we adopted him. He is fearful of staplers, and literally hides under the house when one is used. Fully implementing the penalties provided for in the Utah Code upon Mr. Spidel will be another step toward eliminating the coarse debasement of our community.

I am strongly opposed to violence either against humans or animals. There is no excuse for the way this man acted and he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Abuse of human or non-human completely inhumane. This inhumane person abused a helpless puppy to get back at a human he wanted to control. I say put him away and let him see real inhumanity at it's best. NEVER allow Spidel to own or co habitat with another animal even a rat!

By prosecuting to the fullest we send a message that we value and respect all living creatures. We protect the innocent creatures with no voice and we do not let a person like Spidle escalate to the next level of violence, which undoubtedly will be with a human being.

People who are cruel to innocent animals must realize the seriousness of their actions and must be punished! It is well known that people who are cruel to animals will turn around and do the same to human beings. We must work to stop this cruel and senseless behavior.

We need to punish offenders of animal cruelty because their actions do not stop at one offense, nor do they stop at animals.

Most every rational person would agree that the laws governing animal cruelty should be more strict. However, in a climate of political contention when the case has become a pawn for re-election hype being judged by a judged who reportedly is a contributer to PETA makes one wonder where the truth lies...and who has motivated the media along with this petition

I believe Anthony Spidle, like he himself does, deserves to be punished for his actions--but as the law describes. In this case however, the evidence does not support the element of the "torture" part of the new law, but does support the animal abuse portion.

Animal torture needs to be addressed and punished! PLEASE send a clear message that it will not be tolerated by giving Spidle the maximum sentence possible.
