ORIGINAL: BlackPhx His career is definitely a thing of the past, hope he enjoys working at Burger King. Jail time is sadly unlikely and he will receive a fine, probation and anger management classes, after all no matter how heinous it was only a cat in the eyes of the law. Sadly no matter how much we love our furry friends and consider them family, the law considers them property. Michael Vicks received a 23 month sentence and forfeiture of the property in a case that involved over 70 dogs or approximately 9 days per animal involved and still alive. Petcka would recieve more time if he had hit his girlfriend or broken things in her house than he will most likely for animal cruelty NOT for killing her pet. There is actually no law against killing an animal (thus we can take our friends to the vet when life becomes too painful for them) and if he had just (I don't mean to sound blunt but there is no other way) snapped the cats neck or taken it to put it to sleep there would have been no case. It was because he stomped and kicked the cat to death that charges for animal cruelty were possible. The scary part? His girlfriend would have probably been next. poenkitten warning labels on these kinds of posts, ok? a nice "beware, Linea don't read this" woud suffice....
