Yesterday a low down scum bag who bludgeoned to death 9 puppies, was convicted of cruelty and sentenced to 12 months jail.
Of course it should have been longer, probably 12 months for each puppy, but it was still gratifying to see. Along with the sentence was a ban put on him for life in regards to ever owning an animal again.
It went somewhat to making my day.

A MAN who brutally bashed nine puppies to death with a brick has been jailed for at least 12 months as a court was told of the “excruciating pain and fear” felt by the dogs before their deaths.
Nathan Thompson, 25, previously pleaded guilty to bashing the dogs with a brick in bushland near Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley in March when a court was told he had picked up the litter of 11 pups for free after answering an online ad.
Nine of the pups died in two callous separate bashing incidents on March 11, another died on the way to a vet, while one dog named Lucky remains the sole survivor.
Thompson’s charges of serious animal cruelty and aggravated animal cruelty carried a maximum five-year jail term.
Mr Stone, who assessed Thompson as having a medium to high risk of re-offending, did not accept the assertion that he was under the influence of ice.
