this local news story/video breaks my heart and makes me angry all at the same time. i don't understand people who hurt defenseless animals. IMO they're only one small step away from being able to hurt children. bastages.

That is just pathetic and sad. And, statistically speaking, you are right. Harming animals is generally one of the earliest symptoms of a person that will develop psychopathic tendencies later in life. What's even more sad is that our legal system is, generally, far too lenient with crimes committed against animals, sending the signal that there will be little or no serious consequence for behaving in this way. Thus, we produce a society that values life less and less.

ditto. I was just about to post pretty much the same thing, except way more ranty. People do terrible things, and in my opinion should get the same treatment they showed to the animals. I personally would very much like more than anything right now to shoot whoever did this and leave them to die out in a pasture somewhere. It would serve them right. However, I don't think I'd leave them. I'd like to stay and watch to make sure they hurt much more than the horse did because they certainly deserve much more pain and suffering than it's possible for them to experience.
