Death penalty for beheading a dog, but shooting a deer and strapping it to your hood is okay? Raise a baby cow in a crate so that its muscles don't develop and you have a delicacy? Hormone injected cows in stalls continuously pumping out milk is economically necessary?

Why is this case anything other than destruction of private property, since that's what we consider pets? It's amazing that most people can't even recognize these ridiculous norms of our society. Ethically, either consider animals to have rights, or don't. Deciding that only cute furry animals have rights but delicious ones don't is probably at a 4th grade level of reason, which I guess makes sense with the way our society is heading.
Card carrying PETA member? 😛

That makes no sense.

Let me explain it to you...

From that post it sounds like you most likely value animal life over human life.

I'm the only one here even saying that the death penalty makes no sense for killing a dog. I'm trying to point out the stupidity of placing a higher value on the lives of some animals.

your examples reaked of something a bleeding heart would say. that's what lead me to my conclusion.

while i do agree with you that someone who kills a dog shouldn't face the death penalty i also don't think killing a deer or a cow is comparable. saying that sounded like an animal activist.

What is your reasoning behind saying that killing a deer or cow is not comparable to killing a dog? That it "sounds like something a bleeding heart would say"?
You're illustrating my point. Cultural norms are clouding even individual judgement of right and wrong. It's not as if dogs are a higher organism than livestock. Pigs are even said to be smarter than dogs, yet we don't think twice about eating pork in Hunan Palace.

i don't want to argue with you. all i am saying is i read your reply earlier and it sounded like you were one of those PETA-types. i even put a emoticon --> ( 😛 ) on it so you wouldn't get too offended. if you aren't a PETA type, i apologize.

If someone was trying to get revenge on you and stole your goat or cow and did the same thing, it would almost certainly result in the same charges: making terroristic threats and animal cruelty. You may disagree with it being animal cruelty, but without knowing the method of death, you don't really have enough information to make that judgement. The main charge is the terroristic threat charge, which is certainly warranted when your actions are violent and are a display meant to frighten the victim, who would reasonably assume that it is a message that she may be the next one to be harmed.

That girl looks emo as hell.

There is nothing in that photo that would indicate she is emo, unless you consider the use of eyeliner by a teenager to be emo. She's not wearing black, she has her hair (which is brown, not dyed black) pulled into a pony tail, has a completely warranted sad look on her face, and looks like she hasn't been sleeping well and probably recently crying.

Sad story about the dog, hope he is the sick person that did this and is locked away. Or he at least leads them to the sick person or people that did this.

Why does everyone throw out 'emo' all the time?

WTF difference does it make. I have seen emo used to describe what I would call goth/punk all the way through someone that's preppy.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this turns out to be one of the best things that's ever happened to her?

life is twisted.
