Should Abuse Be a Capital Crime?  By John Tidyman

Lawyers tell me animal abuse is not a capital crime and until PETA takes over Congress, it isn’t going to be. Still, I think abusing an animal is best punished with a death sentence. And none of this weird stuff, like tightening a leather collar around the miscreant’s neck and slowly tightening it until his eyeballs pop out. Lethal injection will do fine.

And not all examples of abuse are worthy of the death penalty. For dog owners who leave their charges chained day and night, the penalty should better fit the crime. Say, six months, chain around the convict’s neck, bowl of gruel refilled every other day. In the corner of the Muny Lot.
