| Rath said: The crime was actually cruelty to the animal, not the killing of the animal it should probably be noted. Anybody who is willing to choke a living animal for no reason has something a bit wrong with them. First thing that should happen to this person is a psychological examination. |
Yes a psychological exam would probably be good. And the suggestion of anger management classes might be good too. However 2 years in jail or Juvi. Thats over kill in my books. What about the boys who burn ants with their magnifying glass? I never did it but I know several kids who did. Thats unecessary and cruel, but they don't deserve to go to jail. They could probably use a good talking to by a psychologist or their parents.
I think choking an animal out of rage like that is wrong. But how many of you kicked in walls, doors and smashed other valuables in a fit or rage when you were younger? The kid was probably not thinking that she was hurting an animal she was just thinking of how to punish the person she was fighting with.
I;m not sure that would even qualify as being disturbed psychologically. But a nice visit to a psychologist or psychiatrist can't do any harm, maybe she has a mental disability that needs treatment. Maybe she's just a violent little girl who needs to be taught not to harm animals or destroy other peoples property.
I don't think their would be any harm in a psychological assesment or anger management. But jail and wasting tax dollars on court. Thats just plain stupid to me!
