whoever did this needs a high colonic with drano.

pound a couple of nails thru the culprits hands and nail them to a wall and leave them there for a few days. this person has no redeeming qualities and cannot be rehabbed at all.

The human race is worthless we must give the earth back to the animals.

Because children are not taught to respect animals, that animals have feelings and know pain just as people do. There should be a hefty fine and some type of animal educational program, counseiling, and community service. People who do this kind of torture usually end up with a criminal record.

“If someone is caught and convicted of this crime, what would the appropriate punishment be? Sound off in our comments section below…” A lot more jail time, with less discretion for judges in terms of sentencing and, either, real enforcement from the county district attorneys or divert the funds to the local SPCAs and let their people prosecute the cases.

“Why would someone stick a nail in a turtle? Sound off in our comments section below…” Because the laws are too lax and no real education is done, around animal issues–”they’re just animals”, etc.
