Read full story here about the elderly man who callously tortured a kitten to death and allowed his two dogs to play with it before he threw the dead kitten in the creek. 

".....In sentencing Magistrate Michael Wheeler said the incident was a "sustained act of vile cruelty."

"You tortured this cat and treated it like a cockroach," he said...."

He should've been fined a good couple millions. I despise animal cruelty, and this would have done away with him just as well as a bullet to the head would.

Should get a jail sentance ...

You can buy 9mm rounds for about $1 a bullet, cheap justice is just a quick trip to the store.

Yet he's not banned form keeping animals. They should at least take his dogs away from him, I can't imgine he has much respect for them either. Abusive bastard!

Reading this thread title I couldn't make out if the animal killer was elderly himself, or if the cat he killed was elderly. The jerk should be thrown in jail!!!

"Kitten killer" perfectly describes the senile elderly man the offender who callously tortured and murdered a defenceless kitten in cold blood. 

A clear open and shut case of brutal, vicious, calculated and premeditated 

A person who enjoys inflcting such a brutal crime on a defenceless animal would pose in my view a threat to the community. Sick, twisted and perversed old man with a psychopathic personality disorder. 

If you can kill a kitten you could easily kill a defenceless child. 

Animal liberation groups would be horrified that it was only a  $20,000 fine. A two year prison term plus a larger fine would be a bigger deterrent to sick animal murderers.

its amazing...you never really can know someone...clearly this individual puts on a good show of caring about birds and dogs...but hes obviously no respect for any animals at all.  death penalty seems the only real course of action for such a sick person. 

Execute him.

It always kind of disturbs me how quickly people on this board call for people to be executed...

Edit: 'Off with his head!' she said, without even looking round.
