I couldn't believe it when I read the news article on the net about the bastard who left his staffy to starve to death back in 2007. The dog had been found dead under a flax bush - skin and bone, with dirt, grass, and twigs in it's stomach and no trace of any normal dog food. It took the police a couple of years to even find this lowlife and he's since been jailed and banned from ever owning another animal. Not that a ban is likely to have any effect... His excuse was the "house sitter" was supposed to be looking after it.
What a pity in this namby pamby musn't-hurt-the-poor-prisoner mentality that he can't be left to starve to the point of expiration just to feel what he put that poor poor animal through. In fact, I'd go one better than that, let him starve almost to death several times; feed him just before it's too late keep him alive than starve him all over again.
Yes, I know that some of mankind mistreat other people - the weaker, younger, elderly, vulnerable etc. so why should it be any different when they mistreat animals. Victimisation of those without a voice (animals generally don't cry out their pain or terror) just appalls me. Perpetrators should suffer in like for punishment as far as I'm concerned.
