ArabiaTerra Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Not sure about a custodial sentence but, if convicted, neither of them should be allowed anywhere near animals again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkstarIII Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Whether it goes to a custodial sentence or not, they should never be allowed near animals ever... there is no excuse for what they did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madasaferret Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I aggree that for everyone's sake a lifetime ban on keeping all animals would be appropriate, but I'm not sure a custodial sentence would be appropriate in the case of one of the convicted. The other perrie little ducker and diver has been starving animals for years and getting away with it. He certainly will pay no fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Treat them as they treated the animals. An eye for an eye and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 If the court lives up to their apparent current form, of which the recent outcome of the Mooney's assault case would, on the face of it at least, appear to be a classic example. I'll be surprised if there's anything more than the usual slap on the wrist of community service and/or probation handed down for this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said and a 1000% accurate , Im also in full agreement that a custodial sentence maybe wouldnt be appropriate in the first one you mentioned.

Arathea Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 They should be banned from keeping animals for life and a custodial sentence in my opinion. such cruelty should be dealt with severly. Arathea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I have known both of these men since they were boys. One of them has been a poor critter a his life and I agree he should not be allowed to keep animals but I dont think a custodial sentence would be appropriate. As for the other I hope they throw away the key!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para Handy Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Sending down in the case of this guy, would be the holiday of a lifetime.Soap drop watch on standby Para. One could always lock them up under the same conditions. No food, a room the size of a broom cupboard. Crapping over there own legs etc. But all the people I have over heard talking about it just want to lock them up and throw a way the key (No interfering Neighbours to phone the R.S.P.C.A to complain) So nobody to complain on there behalf then. What a shame I don’t think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dB Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Given that an offender who assaulted a human being whilst oot on bail for the same thing was described by the sheriff as "charming" I dinna had oot much hope for a deservedly tough sentence on this pair. Unless one of them is caught with a bald tyre sometime soon..................?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorgrim Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 hopefully it will be a custodial sentence a huge fine and a lifetime ban on keeping animals for both of them. but in all reality it will probably be community service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
