Praise the Lord! The Marshals arrested him in Tuscaloosa, and one can only hope he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
A few days ago, I urged everyone who can use a pen or a computer to write letters to your editors, to the Legislature, and to Animal Welfare groups about this. The Legislature finally passed the Animal Abuse bill and it carries a 10-year jail term. Now, we need some "teeth" in this legislation. Let's see how genuinely concerned our lawmakers are. And I agree with Stephen Tears (Montgomery Humane Society) that it is just a matter of time before this escalates to abuse of a person. I am sick to death of these criminals who are cruel to children, the elderly, and animals.
And for all those Michael Vick's "wannabees," maybe the Old Testament justice was the best method after all--"an eye for an eye." I wonder how this perpetrator would feel if he were tied to a post, beaten with a shovel, doused with lighter fuel and set afire?
