Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
Look closely:
This is Abby Toll, a 20 year old University of Colorado student who got pissed at her boyfriend for not kicking his dog out of their apartment. This little shit-speck then took the dog, wrapped it in packing tape and stuck it, upside down, to a refrigerator. The dog had a plastic bag on it's head, elastic bands on it's snout, ears and feet and had been badly scalded weeks earlier while being given a "bath". She's being charged with a felony but, by the time all is said and done, if she's convicted of anything, it'll likely be a misdemeanor and she might have to take a class. Her boyfriend sounds like a bit of an asshole too. What she did was pretty bad, but those of us who have rescued dogs and collected and loved abused, neglected and abandoned animals know that it could have been worse. Too bad she won't do some time.
Oh and this is Rex - her victim.
Gandhi also said 'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,' but I'd be ok with it in cases of animal abuse.

Abusing or neglecting a child or an animal makes one the lowest form of life there is and, in my opinion, utterly irredeemable as a human being. While I still don't support capital punishment in any case, some horrible fate should await anyone who commits those kinds of crimes.

Evil. Pure evil. I'm not a violent person, but I'd have to do something major to stop myself from striking that girl if I ever had cause to meet her.

Prison will do nothing but make her meaner. Two years servitude in some hideous service work, barred from TV and the internet the whole time... that's the ticket. Bed pan duty somewhere, building homes for habitat for humanity. Keep her away from children and animals.
