I remember the story of Peanut. I just wish he served his full sentence but at least the crime was taken seriously for once. Poor Peanut, it was just horrific what this low life did to the him.

It is sweet friend, it is so hard to read about Peanut so brutally killed. Altough like you said, at least it was taken seriously and three years if far better than a slap on the wrist, but makes one wonder when he can do this- I just believe he should have been jailed for many more years.

Hopefully these judges are beginning to take animal abuse seriously and some of this idiots might think twice before repeating such sadistic acts.

I remember Gandhi's quotation that the measure of a society is how they treat their animals. I take that to mean there are are lot of mentally ill people in our society. The death of Peanut was caused by a mentally ill man, I have no doubt about that. We do not need to augment jail time for this individual but instead mature as a society that gives proper treatment to mental illness. Thank you Simone for the article.

Noted, thank you Simone. I too am glad that these two were given three years to think about what they did. Betsy they may or may not have been mentally ill, but they still knew what they were doing was wrong and horribly inhumane. I too am glad that at least some judges are starting to take animal abuse cases more seriously even though I feel both of them should have to serve considerably more years. If indeed they are mentally ill get them psychiatric care in prison, but I feel they should have to serve every day of their sentence meaning no parole. There should never be any parole in cases of sadistic crimes like this.

at least getting hacked like poor Peanut dd should recompense for his cowardly abuser getting out of his three year sentence.

This sick, twisted, evil man should never ever get out and should be tortured to death himself for such a disgraceful act! I hope that he gets hatemail for the rest of his life, though that's not nearly enough! Grrrrrrrr

Hi has proven himself to be ruthless and in denile that torture is sad and painful. But with any luck he will find out in JAIL. I guess it is going to come back now and bite him in the @@@!

I'm glad he was turned in by i guess one of his ex-friends. I don't understand why people thing this is entertaining. I hope he has a cellmate who's a animal lover.

What an excuse for a human being. I agree with you Chaz but based on my knowledge of the Queensland prison system, this creep will probably be out in less than 18 months.
