Tossing dog off balcony gets man 3 years in jail
S.C. man apologizes for injuring puppy during fight with girlfriend
Updated: 12:32 p.m. PT Oct 26, 2007
CHARLESTON, S.C. - An incredulous judge sentenced a man to three years in prison for tossing a 10-week-old puppy off an apartment balcony during an argument with his girlfriend.
The Yorkiepoo, a cross between a Yorkshire terrier and a poodle, was in a soft-sided container but suffered head injuries and had to be put to death.
Javon Patrick Morris, 22, apologized for throwing the puppy off the third-floor balcony last March and pleaded guilty to animal cruelty.
“You mean he threw a helpless animal off three floors because he was mad at someone?” Circuit Judge Edward Cottingham asked a prosecutor before issuing the sentence Thursday.
The judge, who has owned nine dogs, said he was obligated to issue a tough sentence.
“There is nobody in this world that can understand that,” Cottingham said.
He sentenced Morris to five years, suspended to three years in prison and two years of probation. Morris, who will be eligible for parole in 20 months, also was ordered to get anger management counseling.
“I’ve got to send a message to all dog lovers that we are going to protect that interest in our courtrooms,” Cottingham said

NOT GOOD.
Should have 15 at the least. These people that hurt and kill animals for kicks need to die. They will never be a productive member of society.

that's a relief - when I saw "tossing dog off", I was expecting a story of canine sexual abuse.
-
Should get longer. The punishment for animal cruelty needs to become more harsh. Anyone who can throw a puppy off a balcony is obviously a sick fuck.

He could have aimed for the pool, at least.

dude will be out in 90 days, guaranteed

I saw this one dude strangle a cat when I was around 18. I hate these motherfuckers. I sure wish I could go back in time on that incident. >:(
