This is important to me because animals have no voice they can't tell us how they feel or whats wrong they depend on us to do that for them. Wild animals don't need our voice as much as domesticated animals they are our, yours and mine, to be responsible for to feed and take care of their needs.
It breaks my heart to read stories like this. Things like this just should NOT be happening.
I am an animal lover and can't stand to see when defenseless animals get beaten by people who don't have any respect for them.
Who we are as a society, as citizens of the world, is demonstrated by our actions, attitudes and laws. Animal cruelty demonstrates the lowest case of humanity.
Our society should have a ZERO tolerance for animal abuse. This man should receive the maximum penalty for his cruelty. Four years is much too lenient of a sentence for what he did to this dog. I think the penalties should be strengthened for crimes or neglect of animals.
It's important to me that he be sentenced to the maximum 4 years so that he and others "get the message" that animal cruelty is UNACCEPTABLE. There are other options besides violence when it comes to animals, children and other defenseless beings.
Animal cruelty is disgusting.
Because dogs are the most amazing and gentle creatures on this earth and don't deserve to be harmed
Animals, like children, are truly innocent and helpless to defend themselves. The laws against animal abuse are far too lenient.
To be the voice for animals who deserve nothing but love not abuse. Abuse needs to stop!!
There is NO excuse for abusing any animal.
This person (you can't even really call him that) is supposed to be a trusted official. Look what he did. Society has to know that individuals can't go around viciously hurt a poor little puppy. I hope our justice system does the right thing. I will be following this as many others will be.

This man needs to be punished to the full extent of the law. Unfortunately, 4 years is not enough but it is start and will send a message. This behavior cannot be tolerated in our society. My heart goes out to the Toole family. As an animal lover and parent to a dog and two cats I cannot even begin to imagine what they went through. |
I share my home with three dogs and two cats, and the idea of anything bad happening to any of them...is unthinkable. That this crime happened in my community is horrifying.
