Some background.
This guy has a record of animal cruelty. I believe he beat a dog to death and was convicted.
The dog owner is one of those who believe that their dog is human, the dog was pampered big time.
These two were involved in a minor traffic altercation. He ends up outside her window screaming at her. Her dog was in her lap barking at him, doing what dogs do, protecting her. It probably pissed this guy off.
He reached into her car, grabbed her dog, and flung it into traffic, where it was struck by one or more cars and killed. Then the guy fled.
There was a national hunt for this guy. A very large reward was offered for his capture.
The reward issue sickens me, as it was very substantial (can't remember how much), and yet many rewards for HUMAN killers are relatively small.
Turns out the reward was $120,000.00
Anyway, this guy deserves every second of the sentence. He is unstable and if he would do this, who knows what else he is capable of.
I'm not an animal rights nut, but if he had attempted this with me, I would be on trial.
Edited to add the reward amount.
