Hardened police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven month old fox terrier puppy near Mackay at the weekend.If found guilty, they could face up to two years in prison. Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone which shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it was hacked to pieces with garden shears and a pocked knife.They said the owners were too distressed to talk to anyone about it.The pups nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated. A three-part video series on a mobile phone shows the dog being tortured.The maximum penalty under the Animal Care and Protection Act for such an offence is $75,000 or two years in jail; however the maximum penalty ever handed out has been a four month jail term.

This occurred in Australia. I got this piece from a lady friend that is currently located there.

This man who brutally tortured and performed a lobotomy on a helpless puppy. Even if it wasn't a puppy, an animal, who has no voice to proclaim and scream for help. I am sickened by this act and have lost my faith in humans yet again. Even if murdering animals isn't against the law and there are no large sentences for animal cruelty, this man deserves to sit in jail for a long time to rot. Unless you want to release him back into the public in which case how long till he takes a human instead of a puppy.

Doctors always say that if a child is twisted as a youngster and mutilates animals chances are he/she will grow up into a murdering criminal. So this man must get some form of pleasure from animal cruelty. How long till he bores of their yelps and cries and desires the pleading and intimacy of a human.

Imagine what this poor puppy went through, if you can. Now try and convince me that man does not deserve worse than a fine or two years in jail. Animal cruelty is unacceptable whether for fur, medical, farm or pleasure. It's barbaric and primitive. People need to realize that each animal plays a vital role in the world we live. It's a balance of nature and all things wild. By constantly killing animals and violating the earth for all of it's valuable minerals and herbs we are surely killing ourselves.

But it's entertainment! He said

He enjoys his weekly dose of mind numbing visual vomit, while I would rather read chapters of tidious shit in my Visual Communication Image with Messages text book. More so because I have to then chose to. So this is what I have to say about television.

TV is trash. Television reunions between adopted children and their birth parents; encounters between a husband, his mistress, and his wife; discussions among killers on death row (in irons, via satillite), and the families of their victims; confrontations between incest survivors and their abusive relatives; meetings between corrupt plastic surgeons and the women whose faces they deformed with wrinkle-reducing silicone injections that turned out to be toxic; a priest, a rabbi, a monk, and a minister (sounds like the beginning of a shitty joke) who have slept with members of their congregations. You could see all these events on simple, old-fashioned network television, all in one single day. So get off your ass, rip the tv out of the entertainment unit and throw it out the window. Do it!
