Animal Cruelty

I just read this story about a group of teen-aged boys who apparently decided to combine puppies and fireworks for a bit of fun. They killed six puppies and wounded an older dog during their merry-making. Police are searching for them.

When found, their parents and various psychologists and “activists” will be paraded around to treat us to a litany of reasons why these “fine, upstanding young men” really “didn’t mean any harm” and what “good kids” they are. BS, says I! These are little serial-killers in training and they need to be punished. I’m thinking the appropriate punishment would be to treat them the same way they treated those defenseless puppies, i.e. one Roman candle in the mouth and another entering from the other direction. “Horrors! You vile, cruel SOB!” you might say. Whatever. If these juvenile delinquents are willing to treat puppies this way at this stage of their lives, what’s next? Probably little boys and then on to women jogging in the park. They need to be dealt with severely right now. Actual prison time is appropriate, but depending on their ages, they would probably only get juvenile detention. And depending on the judge, they may only get “community service.” Like that does any good…
