Just because our system gave him 2 years does NOT mean it was enough. It sure as hell doesn't mean that the slate is clean and everyone can go on like nothing ever happened. Are you kidding me?

Then it comes down to do you believe in our justice system. If you do, they while it is perfectly fine to voice your opinions about his sentence do you really think it's ok to judge him guilty of further crimes for what you think he felt, which he may have, and which he may not now feel.
Rat breeders cull rats. Horse breeders cull horses. vick did some stupid and cruel things, which as far as I know he has not repeated.
Didn't some of you give crutchfield a pass after he did time? Wanna bet on whether everything that passed through his hands after he got out was legit?
Seems to be a bit of double standard happening. No crutchfield didn't get convicted of cruelty to animals. But he was convicted of a crime that we KNOW kills thousands and thousands of animals every year. Some of them die is some dang cruel ways.
But I guess it's ok to have a double standard.
Unless you have some ethics stronger than a paper straw.

Some people place a higher value on animals than people. That's how PETA and its derivitives survive and grow. That's back asswards thinking in my book. Animals are animals. People are people. People > animals.
If your dog or a stranger was drowning, who would you save? If you even had to think about it you're a seriously deranged individual.
I've made terrible mistakes in my life like many people but at least I admit it. I definitely don't sit on a high and mighty pedastal and point at other people. Just my $.02...

Maybe it 's just me, but my first thought was I'd save my dog and my second thought was maybe not but it would depend on how the person came to be drowning. Circumstances matter.
