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.

People who torture animals also hurt people.

There is NO EXCUSE for animal abuse. No excuse. This man should be in jail.

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!

It is our obligation to protect all living creatures from such criminals.

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.

"If man is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practice kindness towards animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." Immanuel Kant

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.
