Although I'm not very fond of cats I do not condone this guys actions, and so I feel he has been sentenced adequately.
I have another animal related slaying that I will post taken from the Star Tribune Newspaper :
Two felony charges in dog's shooting
November 17, 2004 DOG1117
An Eagan man faces two felony charges after he allegedly shot and killed his family's nine-month-old Labrador on Sunday after he found it chewing on a book and carpeting.
Bart A. Swedin, 38, is charged with animal cruelty and reckless discharge of a firearm.
A family friend called Eagan police about 1 a.m. Sunday. Swedin admitted to police that he was drunk at the time and also admitted to shooting the dog, the complaint said.
Swedin's wife and children were sleeping in a room above the area where he shot the dog, according to the complaint.
He was released from the Dakota County jail Tuesday afternoon after posting bail.
The latest from the StarTribune
I have a feeling that this guy will not get much of a sentence at all, which is very tragic. He blames the whole situation on him being drunk, but if you were to slay a person in the same situation, then you are liable for 1st degree murder. Also, this dude shot the puppy 3 times in the head while his family was in the house, I mean what kinda lunatic would do this typr of action.
