Owner of dog 'Captain' pleads guilty to animal cruelty

I believe the 5 years in jail, the $10,000 fine and the lifetime ban on owning or having custody of animals represents the maximum fine under the current law here. May he receive them all.

I'd be happier if the exact same thing that was done to the dog was done back on him.

Another example of animals having far...far more worth than some people.

Oh I agree 100%. Unfortunately, it's all the system will allow to be done to those useless maggots who commit these horrid crimes. At the absolute least I expect that every person found guilty should get the max no matter what, though I doubt it always works out that way.

Perhaps 5 years in general population with his new friends knowing what he did will add a little more punishment to his sentence.

Weak politicians and courts that don't want to level harsh punishments when horrible crimes against people are committed most likely don't give much of a damn when horrible crimes are committed against animals.

Too true.
