Evan I don't think all these comments are for lawyers! It may be more than you can understand when you professionally need to talk both sides of a case. I think many of us feel a person who can commit such horrid acts against an animal are beyond hope. How could any of us do such a thing for any reason. Many years ago I had a boy in my day care who was beyond cruel to my dogs. I told his mother I was sorry but I could no longer care for him. Some time later he raped his little sister and went to prison.
