do you think an 18 week jail sentence is enough for this?

I have an idea ? ;)

Any crime no matter what, LIFE! in prison. :p

That will work ;), a little brutal I admit but hey we want a My little pony society right? :rolleyes:
 
Horrible, but 18 week sentence seems proportionate to me.

It was a dying cat, not a child.

This.

I have a cat, and obviously what he done is very cruel. But any custodial sentence is quite a serious punishment, and 18 weeks is punishment enough.

He won't be doing it again.

In Karen Blixen's book she talked about some African tribe and the problems they ran into when faced with a colonial justice system.
If jailed for whatever reason they had no concept or understanding of a date when they would be released, to them the jail cell was permanent, so in fact many simply lost the will to live and died.

That is very interesting and fits in with some thoughts I have been having on an unrelated matter. I will make a post on the subject in due course!
 
If you killed someone in self defense of your cat how does the law stand?

Reduced sentence for duress or +years for being a nutter?

You can use reasonable force to defend property, I suppose if that property were an animal lethal force may be considered reasonable?

There's also reduced sentences for manslaughter by provocation.

That is honestly hilarious.

And also worrying and a bit sad.

But the order goes hilarious, sad, worrying.

Even more hilarious, sad and a bit worrying is that in that particular scenario I would watch you burn alive and I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of emotion towards you. :)
 
something similar happened in a town called kidderminster near me. some lads punched a middle aged bloke, he hit his head on the curb and was on life support which was switched off. the killer will be out before he's 25.

if you take a life then you should loose your own life and we should have the lethal injection or electric chair,dont feed them and use governments money to keep them alive in prison,thats where this country is spending waisted money.

The fact he was only banned from owning any animals for 5 years is much worse than his lack of a prison sentence. How could somebody like this ever be allowed to own a pet!?

I really don't see the point in banning people from keeping pets, because it's largely futile.

How exactly is it enforced and how is it kept on top of? It's not like the only way to acquire a pet is by going to an animal shelter, and giving them your details (which you can of course fake if they don't require ID).
 
If you think about it like this though, his life will be ruined because he wont be able to get a decent job after prison with that on his record.
 
It upsets me whenever I see things like this happen to animals. Yes ok it's not on the same level as kicking a human to death, but that could have been someone's much loved pet; and yes, she's "just a cat", but if someone hurt my cat I'd be devastated beyond words.

I would imagine you could only reasonably use lethal force if your or another human's life was in danger, not an animals.
 
I love cats more than is usual but... It is just a cat.

How much prison for this ^

I'm sure you'd like to think that,
but in house fire I would trample over your face in order to rescue my cat, and trample over your face again as we ran out of the door.

Comedy gold ^

After reading your comments on this thread, particualy this one ^ and i have come to the come to the conclusion that youre one of those obese 40 something loners that lives with their elderly widowed mother and cat and you still wet the bed?
 
Thread summary: cat lovers are freaking out demanding a death sentence for anyone who hurts a cat, thankfully most people see it was just a cat and his sentence was proportionate.

Am I right in thinking that ^TANK^ is one of the 'built-like-a-brick-outhouse' types who posts in the bodybuilding thread? :p
 
The only thing I could suggest for this person is to be hit around the head until unconscious. Then upon waking, he be kicked to death by a group of people, one by one.

p.s not a cat lover.
