There have been many crimes in the past that warrant the death of the person which commited it. I think putting a puppy in an over should be one of them. This guy needs to be shot in the face. Poor doggy :(

Man jailed for putting puppy in warm oven
POSTED: 3:17 p.m. EST, November 7, 2006

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A man who pleaded guilty to putting his wife's puppy in a 200-degree oven, crippling it, was sentenced Monday to six months in jail.

Third District Judge William Barrett ordered Marc Christopher Vincent, 36, to serve six months in jail without the chance of early release. He must also pay a $500 fine and $986 in veterinary bills for the dog.

Vincent, 36, pleaded guilty September 18 to one count of misdemeanor aggravated animal cruelty for putting the dog in an oven for five minutes on May 25 during a fight with his wife, Rhonda. She has since filed for divorce.

The black Chihuahua mix named Henry suffered permanent damage to its front paws and now limps.
As part of the plea agreement, a second charge of animal cruelty was dropped. Prosecutors had accused Vincent of turning a leaf blower on the dog in a separate incident, damaging the dog's eye so badly it had to be removed.

Vincent was ordered to serve two years' probation after his jail sentence, seek anger management therapy, have no contact with his wife or any animals, and get a mental health evaluation.

Salt Lake County prosecutor Elizabeth Henry said Utah is one of nine states that has only misdemeanor punishment for animal cruelty.


Seriously, what a dickhead.

thats far from true, though I would agree not in case. But fuck man, this guy needs jail, not probation. Thats seriously fucked up.

Sentence him to five minutes in a 200-degree oven and take away his clothes. The punishment fits the crime. (Of course, if she were a proper wife, this would never have happened. I'm sure it's all her fault.)

The guy is a total scum bag. Real big man- abusing a dog.

They should let me beat the shit out of him next time I'm in a bad mood.

Then bring him to the same veterenarian as the dog went to for treatment of his broken ribs, puntured lungs, shattered occipitals, broken nose and missing ears.

Dude, I don't care if he did it to a rat. To inflict that much pain on an animal that can feel it and remember it for no good reason, this guy should get years. Lots of 'em.

Hahaha. I hate dogs.

Still I agree, this guy is a moron and an asshole. Next time he should try telling his wife "Either the dog goes, or I go." Why do some people come up with all these creative ways to avoid using common sense?

Don't you dare stomp on my rights to broil dogs. I'll ram the constitution so far up your ass you'll be sneezing We the People.

I totally disagree with the death penalty, but people like him make it tempting. He'd better be glad I wasn't in charge of the penalty. I think animal cruelty penalties are way too light. Give him ten years.

Its possible you're being sarcastic, its also possible you're not. If you're not being sarcastic, I would point out that you don't have the right to broil anything that you don't legally own, and since is was his wife's puppy, then he is without rights to damage it.

I'd say the problem here isn't the fault of the man, though, but of the wife. Why did she even take this to court?
What happened to the heady days of 80's and 90's excessive-feminist retribution? She was only just a couple gallons of gas, some scissors, a kitchen knife, or even just a plain baseball bat (if she were feeling old school) from getting her own Lifetime Original movie.

There's a good idea, but have one of them throw random objects at his back.

Examples: cacti, baseballs, glass...

Animals are not people. However, I think that classifying an animal simply as property, as if it is nothing more than a car, a rubber ball, a chair, is stupid.

There should be serious penalties for torturing animals; and if I remember correctly, torturing/killing animals is often a first step for serial killers.

Animals aren't people no, but I agree, that they shouldn't be classed as inanimate objects either, since they clearly do feel pain and misery despite not being on our intellectual level.

As for this example of animal cruelty - it pales in comparison to what I've read about here in Hong Kong. Someone found a dog (a golden retriever) at the rubbish dump with no legs.
The owner - sick of caring for the mutt - had hacked all it's legs off with a cleaver and then abandoned it at the dump to let it slowly die.

This isn't a one-off case either. The vet said he comes across this 2 or 3 times a year. It's the locals way of ridding themselves of an unwanted pet. One poor dog had had it's legs hacked off months earlier, so it wouldn't run about in the flat. Then it was thrown into the sea when the owner had grown bored with it.

One day when I came home I found a rat in a tiny cage outside in the rubbish bins. Thrown away when no longer interested in it. I let it out as I figured the poor thing had a better chance of survival on the streets than being crushed in the rubbish truck. My ex-g/f did the same things to her guinea pigs (ie throw them into the street rubbish bins) when she decided she no longer could be bothered to look after them (I was away at the time). Couldn't even be bothered to take them to the SPCA or even give them to a local pet store. Too much hassle apparently.

This is in Hong Kong. One can scarcely imagine what they do to their pets in China itself.

Longer I live over here, the more contemptible I become over Chinese attitudes towards animals.

I think he should also go through mandatory pyschiatric care as well as being neutered.
