On July 31, residents of the Main Street Mobile Home and RV Park found the bloodied body of a small dog whose head had been smashed in. The dog, a 14-year-old cocker spaniel named Copper, was apparently known in the area as the punching bag of Alexander "Al" Castro. Neighbors allege that they had seen Castro regularly kicking and beating Copper, who reportedly belonged to Castro's girlfriend for months.
The case has been forwarded to Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

We the undersigned,
We were alarmed to learn that a 14-year-old cocker spaniel was beaten to death in your jurisdiction. The defendant, Alexander Castro, allegedly had been seen beating the small dog for months. Violent acts against animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous pyschopathy that does not confine itself to animals.
We urge you to prosecute Alexander Castro to the fullest extent and send a powerful message that this barbaric abuse will not be tolerated in your jurisdiction.
Probation should not be an option, as this would allow a dangerous man back into society.
Sincerely,
District Attorney

I honestly do not understand peoples motives for animal abuse. Surely his girlfriend would have known about the abuse and therefore is just as guilty as "Al" for not stopping it. Hopefully Cooper is in a better place now.

This case is just one more of outrageous cruelty to animals; all because they just don't matter, and abusers know this. Would 'Al' have killed his girlfriend's baby? Likely not, because he would know he'd get life. Well, here's a unique chance to do just that. Such a well deserved sentence in this case would set a wonderful precedent and improve the climate of animal cruelty laws throughout North America, even up here in Canada. Let's do the right thing, and put away the repeat abusers for good.

people that are creul to animals should be imprisoned for life!! It is no different than murder against another person. If they are going to kill a defenseless animal who's to say what they would do to a small child or even the ederly.

This is just a horrible thing. The laws are not stiff enough. The person responsible for this horrendous act of cruelty should have the book thrown at him. He is a cold, hearltess murderer and if I had my way, he would get the death penalty. Murder is Murder, whether the victim is human or an innocent animal. PLEASE STOP THIS INSANITY. STIFFER LAWS FOR ANIMAL ABUSERS AND MURDERERS. Thankyou.
