    Animal cruelty case

    Two men have been sentenced for animal cruelty here in San Antonio.  One received three years and one got eight years.  They tortured and killed four cats.  The cruelty was unbelievable.

    They got these cats from people advertising on Craigslist.   I wanted everyone to be aware that this is not that uncommon and to take extreme care when selling or rehoming a pet.  Monsters are out there and sometimes they look and act like completely normal people.

    Hi Jackie,

    I've read about things like that happening on Craigs List. I wish people would understand that when you advertise an animal like you do a piece of exercise equipment, all the nuts come out. Animals advertised on these types of sites/newspapers are taken to be used in laboratory experiments as well.

    It is good to hear that these "people" were actually sentenced to jail time. Considering animals are only considered property, this does send a message that there are consequences for torturing animals. 

    Maybe this is the first step to seeing real penalties for these kinds of acts.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    Hi Jackie,

     It's good to hear that they at least received jail-time. Most get a slap-on-the-wrist.
