To the editor,
Re: Ladysmith man fined after treating dog like ‘punching bag,’ Aug. 29.
I was disgusted to learn about the recent animal cruelty charge.
What kind of a sick individual would lay such a beating against a helpless puppy?
Once again the law got it wrong when they handed out a fine and community work for such a vicious crime. Even worse was the fact that this person will be able to own another animal one day.
Does the judge really believe that a crime like this won’t happen again to another precious animal? Does he believe that a fine and community work will cure this person from committing the same crime again? He deserved to get a jail sentence.
