Man feeds puppy to boa.. wait... what?

Would you rather them restrict the ownership of our reptiles to keep it from happening again, or put this guy in jail for what he deserved. In my eyes, he did deserve it.

He deserves the animal cruelty charges for the way he treated the prey, not because the prey was a puppy. It being a puppy should only add to his grotesque image and not jail time.

SO if someone oiled up a rat they should go to jail also?

they're probably going to try to tighten restrictions anyway, so how does one more perverted individual going to jail change that? there's still going to be plenty in the world

Perhaps keeping him from doing it again? Why put a murderer in jail, if there's going to be more on the streets and in the world?....

This guy only got a cruelty to animal charges because it was a puppy rather than a bunny. Which is a shame because that is cruelty to animals even to the bunny. I'm sure you'd agree with me on that point.

However by definition of "unwarranted or unnecessary suffering or harm to animals" I don't see why the companion animal should legally be above prey item. Because the suffering is the same for both.

Do you not see that it is also noted that the snake was neglectd???

I mean that alone is animal cruelty.

and how do you know they did it because it wasn't a bunny???

Seems like you only reflect back to the "they do it in the wild" theory which clearly is not the case here.

I have fed my RTB bunnies but they get respect while in my care.

well touche...
yes, he won't be doing that again, but that has no effect on other people doing it, that was more where i was headed with that. i was more saying there will be others that will do stupid things and help ruin the reputations or reptiles and their owners.
