Extreme cruelty

This story is unbelieveable. What state of mind are people in to do something like this?

And what punishment would be appropriate if the offenders are found? Don't get me started.... [!]

Anything for a free feed, huh?

{shaking head} I do wonder what society it coming to when I read of such things. Isn't there some famous quote about the 'standard' of society being judged on how we treat our animals?

That absolutely turns my stomach! They cut off the hindquarters and the animal was still alive? Please tell me I an reading this wrong.

That has to be one of if not the worst I have ever heard of, can't get my head around it it's too much such people should not be allowed on the streets

It is beyond me how a "group of people" could even contemplate doing something like this. Where was the voice of reason? Who is the evil SOB that came up with it? Why would anyone agree it was a good idea?
Our justice system does not have a punishment that is adequate for these morons. Bring back the stocks.

Glad to see that the cops aren't holding back on their description of the act and the perpetrators: 'psychopathic' is what they have called it/them

They've caught one of them:

Let's hope the rest get fingered by him and the whole lot can face the charges...

Hmmmm interesting article. Who the hell wouldn't report something like that? I bet the little f*ckwits will just plead poverty and say they were hungry or some such crap. thay need to start publishing these guys names and addresses

I can understand someone killing it and then taking some meat. But the purpose of this does not seem to have been greed, just to inflict as much pain as possible. I don't understand why they did not slash its throat before taking the hindquarters, sure it would have been much easier to butcher a still animal than one thrashing around.
I hope as well as the police prosecution that friends and family disown him.
