Simone, I don't know when I have ever felt so devasted over an animal abuse case. You know how many terrible ones that have been on care 2. I cried so hard over Peanut my eyes were swollen and I have literally been haunted by it ever since. These men are beasts! Absolute sadists. They shouldn't be allowed to be in civilized society ever, ever again. Even the maximum on the books will never be enough for me. Two years for what they did to Peanut? Are you kidding? The mere thought that they might not even get that is more than I can bear.

All petitions have been signed. This is so horrific, I can't even describe how I am feeling. Poor sweet Peanut, RIP little one. Curses on the evil scum who did this to Peanut, may they rot in hell. The laws are way to lenient on these pieces of shit that do this kind of thing to innocent animals. Enough is enough already! Serious jail time for these offenders, NOW!
Thank you Simone.

I can't even finish the story. I'm at work and don't want to completely lose it, bawling. This is heartbreaking. I can't believe people like this exist. These are the people who need to be behind bars for years to come. Someone who would ever do this to an innocent little animal, would probably not think twice before doing this to a human being. I hope they get locked up for the maximum time possible, which isn't enough time.

Only sick people will do these terrible things to animals. I always thought that the cruelty laws were to weak, if the government made the laws 50% stronger in fines and 100% stronger in jail time with no early release and long parole times, maybe these crimes would happen less often. I am appalled at the careless demeanor of these 2 men.

Kristen, go to this link, quickly sign. I have read some horrific cruelty towards animals but this one of Peanut haunts me- can not stop thinking about what they done, trying not too but it keeps coming back. These two are pure evil. In May they will be coming up again for trial.

I live in Australia and spent a lot of time in Qld. There is a red neck culture there. What is obvious is that these two made no attempt to hide their crime. In fact they displayed it - leaving video footage and evidence on a park bench for the police to find. This suggests they were not afarid to be caught- probably because they knew how pathetic the animal cruelty penalties are in Australia. They had nothing to fear. Hopefully, the justice system will show it has some balls

I cannot quit thinking about Peanut either Simone. It HAUNTS ME TOO!
I wish they would stop pussy footing around and CONVICT these creeps. I think that animal cruelty law for this type of sadistic torture should be LIFE IN PRISON!!!!!Not two measley years.

I hope if they ever do get out that they run into someone just as evil and sociopathic as they are.

There have been plenty doggies like Peanut and there will be plenty more - The laws should be rewritten on animal cruelty. We walk the same streets as these savages, that is not fair.

I am very encouraged by the number of signatures for Peanut at the petition site. It is over 63,000. I want to see it make the goal of 100,000. It is at least some small comfort to me to see so many as outraged as I am over his brutal, brutal death.
