Georgia Teens Plead Guilty To Cooking Puppy Alive In Oven

[Soilwork]

The jury wouldn't convict based on the time these two were facing, not their guilt or innocence. I can't imagine harming something so innocent as a puppy. Yet we allow unborn babies to be sucked out of a mother's womb and cut up with a scalpel.

can we please keep to one issue at a time?

Thanks.

I wonder how long you have to put the puppy in to get just the right taste.

I have 2 puppies here, so I mean, that would be helpful if that was in the article.

Thats pretty sick, dude.

I don't know if these two guys did it or not. i wasn't in the court room. but who ever did it...it's just sick and the whole story brought tears to my eyes. torture whether its animals or humans makes me cry every time. i think we are the only species on earth that tortures and kills for pleasure.

This story made me lose a little bit more hope for the American culture.

Interestingly enough, I have seen no evidence that the young men, themselves, were neglected or abused by their parents.

Are we becoming a society based solely on our urges to do anything we want, regardless of the consequenses?

More DISTURBING details. To read the stories in chronological order, start at the bottom:

Excerpts:
In an unusual move, a live puppy was brought into a Fulton County courtroom to help prosecutors in a trial against two teens they say tortured and killed another puppy.

Rita, a shepherd mix, spent much of her time in court on Tuesday wagging her tail and playing. Prosecutors referred to Rita as Exhibit 109, the final piece of evidence in a brutal animal cruelty case.

“When we tried to apply a muzzle of any kind, they start struggling,” said veterinary expert Dr. Melinda Merk.

In an effort to demonstrate a puppy’s low tolerance for discomfort, a veterinary expert attempted to tie gauze around Rita’s muzzle. Clearly, the puppy did not like it.

Prosecutors contend that Joshua and Justin Moulder did much worse to a puppy roughly the same size and age as Rita.

=========================================

The observers looked on in horror Wednesday as an animal expert detailed the final moments of a 3-month-old puppy as it thrashed around in a searing hot gas oven gasping for air.

Dr. Melinda Merck used four dozen grisly, detailed, close-up photos of the oven and the tiny puppy's burned body as she walked jurors slowly through the dog's painful death.

"This darker area is the blood after it's been baked," Merck testified as she pointed to a dark spot on the oven wall.

She said the young dog would have been gasping for air inside the hot oven because the duct tape on its muzzle left only a tiny passage free. One nostril was partially exposed, she said, but likely only by the puppy scraping its nose against the hot oven door.

Merck also talked about the terror the animal would have felt as it was bound, tortured then tossed into the oven.

===========================================

I liked what the prosecutor said - good argument:

In closing arguments Wednesday, a prosecutor compared the Moulder brothers with an infamous serial killer.

"These are your BTK brothers, bind, torture, kill," prosecutor Laura Janssen said. "Torture takes time and planning. It must have been exhausting to go on and torture that puppy."

Janssen's comments invoking the killer who terrorized Wichita, Kan., for more than 20 years.

I can't bring myself to read most of this. The horror of this poor puppy's suffering and torture. Makes me physically sick!

These two boys would have only moved on to more savage acts, I have no doubt. They need to be removed from free society.

 

[RyzeAbove]

I think they should be put into ovens. I feel sick right now, thats horrible...Once again humanity does not impress me.

 

[Ddouble]

The crime in and of itself is horrific beyond words, but afterwards, they actually went out and got other children to show them what they had done... This implies that there was no remorse, no shame, but instead they were proud of their crime.

My heart feels squeezed with rage...

Sentencing is set for February 9th, two more weeks...

I will certainly be watching this thread for an update...

 

[trydegrau]

I can't bear to read the details...I once had a nightmare about something similar to that, I woke up in tears. I can't believe people would actually do that. I hope they gas these fuckers.

 

[gabriel1]

These two should be put in an oven. dirty rotten fuckers - I am so sick of hearing about people torturing poor defenseless creatures and our damn court system still treats them like property. I want these two bastards to die a death worse than that poor puppy. This is one of the reasons I feel people are a level BELOW the four legged critters. I hope these sons of bitches rot in hell.

And that post from TheBled is absolutely sick, wrong and in pure bad taste - You should be banned for a month.

 

[colemanshs]

Wow. That's just crazy. I don't understand why they could get so much time when killing another human wouldn't get you that long.

 

[NedNickerson]

Wow. That's just crazy. I don't understand why they could get so much time when killing another human wouldn't get you that long.

My understanding is that they're being charged with more than just the killing of the dog... These are all the charges being brought against them: aggravated cruelty to animals, cruelty to children, vandalism, burglary, criminal damage to property, and terroristic threats. That's six charges apiece... If they are not allowed to serve the sentences concurrently, that means they will have to serve time for each charge, hence a possible 90 years.

 

[provenlogic]

I hope the judge throws the book at them, hard.

 

[Croynan]

These are the type you look out for. Pyschopaths usually start with animals, if I am not mistaken?

But up to 90 years in prison? You get more for a puppy than a human being? Vandalism doesn't stack that many years...

I think this went slightly beyond mere vandalism.

From the Mikado - Gilbert and Sullivan

His object all sublime
He will achieve in time —
To let the punishment fit the crime —
The punishment fit the crime;
And make each prisoner pent
Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment!
Of innocent merriment!

They get what they deserve - a message needs to be sent out so that others will give thought to their thoughless actions and lack of compassion for others - human as well as animals.

They did just more that cooking that poor dog. Besides I think they should be cooked themselves in the exact same manner.

 

[_Grim_]

Omg...I literally fucking cried..

I can't believe these assholes would do that..

OMG...I hope the puppy is in heaven

 

[jb2986jovian]

I think these two sick mf's need to die a slow, horrible death just like that poor defenseless puppy did. I hope they rot in hell for all of eternity.

 

[TierraSimms]

For the record: I live NO WHERE near these creeps.....

Unfortunately Elvin, I do know where they live and this act took place only a few minutes from my condo. I also work in the news media and know this story very well. This whole story disgusts me. Those 2 boys are deranged beyond comprehension. They also do exhibit the textbook signs of sociopaths and 2 of the characteristics of that a serial killer.

 

[Theyoungman]

Well... May they have a nice rest of their lives...

 

[belamy]

I think they should be put into ovens. I feel sick right now, thats horrible...Once again humanity does not impress me.

Yeah, talk about humanity: all down the sewer for two nasty puppy-bakers...
