This boy needs to get sent far away. I’ll just stop there. Anyone who abuses an animal deserves no sympathy.
The boy should probably be put down. There’s no excuse for that - the child is defective and it’s only going to get worse.
The police and animal control also appear to be braindead. Unless Salt Lake has the most draconian laws in the country, you are most certainly not required to keep your animals restrained on your own property.
