10 Days? Seriously?
A Carol Stream man who beat a Jack Russell Terrier puppy so badly it lost an eye has been sentenced to 10 days in jail and to pay $1400 in veterinarian bills, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Randall Madison has also been placed on probation for a 2-year period and must undergo psychiatric evaluation and perform 150 hours of community service work.
Madison was convicted of misdemeanor animal cruelty. Prosecutors contended Madison intentionally beat the dog and choked Sophie, his then-girlfriends 9-month-old puppy, with a leash.
Noting that Sophie suffered permanent injuries, prosecutors sought a 60-day jail sentence and two years of probation.
TEN DAYS? SERIOUSLY? FOR A 20-SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN WHO BEATS A 15-POUND DOG SO BADLY IT LOSES AN EYE?
I say he should have done the full 60-day rip, at the very least. There is a special place in hell for heartless idiots who hurt animals.
Let's all hope Sophie has a loving home FAR AWAY from this sadistic scumbag.
