This. Having read other animal cruelty threads, there will always be people who slam others for giving animals the same worth as humans. But some people genuinely do feel as strongly for their pets as they do humans. Someone with a fear of dogs wouldn't understand this, just as someone who loves animals wouldn't understand the indifference.
Just wrong tbh...

I will be quite honest, I have a real fear of dogs. I had a bad experience of them when I was young, and to be honest if a dog ran up to me, I honestly don't know what I would do.
It could be that they were merely louts (I love the way some people here think wearing a hoody is enough to condemn them) who killed a dog for no reason, but the fact is that dogs ARE a menace, and the fact its unfair to have a dog running around unrestrained means I cannot make a definitive judgement based on biased reporting.
No, you need some perspective on the matters. It was just a puppy! Anyone who can stomp out an innocent life like that is pure evil.
For **** sake, what is wrong with some people.
Agreed. It's stories like this (and obviously worse ones) about what's deemed acceptable/everyday behaviour that makes me hope society is at least creating a vigilante somewhere.

Poor thing. 
How far does your lack of compassion actually go.
The majority of serial killers began their 'careers' by committing animal cruelty. Torturing and killing an animal is only one step away from doing it to a human.
Would you be any more concerned if it was a 10 month old baby who had briefly crawled away up to a group of people?

Three "hoodies" in a park, that ran away after killing a pet. To me it just sounds like the generic worthless scum that makes up a huge percentage of our population now.
It's sadly easy to assume this, and sadder that it's not at all a shocking incident any more.

You're being absolutely ridiculous.

A jack russell puppy is a menace? No, I don't think so. Jack Russell puppies aren't massively larger than Hamsters, would you kick a hamster in the head becuase you were scared of it, or just walk away?
I grew up with 3 dogs. One we had from my age of 6 to 19, I cried when we had to put him down. I consider them family, even siblings. Some people just won't understand that.
I'm sorry but you have shown yourself to be a total freak in your equating (no matter how tenuous) of an animal and a 10 month old baby.
I grew up with my dog from the age of about 4 to 18, losing him was one of the hardest things I've ever been through, it was genuinely like losing my little brother. I can still get really choked up about it now, even though it was 6 years ago

I'd like to find them and be left alone for a couple of hours, evil #**ts
ac1d1ty, you can believe some of the comments there, the fact some people are finding it cruel is because it a VERY cruel thing to do, and when you say you don't know what you'd do when a small dog came up to you what are you saying? You'd kick one in the head? If so you deserve kicking in the head a couple of times, I mean, for christ sakes you're only a human, what does it matter if you get kicked in the head and killed, no one will care I guess....
It's a terrible thing and I'm sure the family who owned the dog are traumatised but jumping to extreme daily mail reactions is as pointless as the mess surrounding princess diana.
The fact is he won't go to jail for one single kick on a puppy no matter how cute and adorable it was.
If it was a human yes, manslaughter at least. But to go to jail he would need to be found guilty of prolonged neglect and cruelty.
If he's ever caught I'd expect community service - hence why I said earlier I think his friends and neighbours knowing what he has done is likely to be the greater punishment.
Just because it's terrible, doesn't mean he's going to jail - I'm sorry, but it's true.
Your post is irrelevant, you quoted me admonishing a bloke who equated a puppy to a 10 month old baby.
I understand completely how people get attached to animals, and I would not deny that the death of a creature in the manner of which the puppy was killed, in front of the owner no less is a very brutal thing.
However what I was railing against was the rabid opinions of the people here, best summed up in the quoted passages in my answers a few up.
And again I see in your post that you value my life as akin to that of a dog. Wow, how civilised.
Threads like this make me understand more how the Germans could slaughter Jew's in WW2.
