Almost as much time as an Affluenza sufferer who paid big bribes to get their kid into prestigious schools but I’ll bet his jail won’t be nearly as nice.
While I personally approve of jail time for stupidity, Im not sure taxpayers are well-served by such a public policy.
I cannot say this strongly enough. There is something seriously wrong with people who will do this to an animal.
The punishment was far too lenient.
Florida Man strikes again!
Cowardly little man.
What is wrong with these people, that they would commit such acts & then put them on social media for everyone to see?
They should’ve also been made to pay a heavy fine & many, many, MANY more hours of community service taking care of critters to make up for these crimes.
Next thing you know they’ll throw someone in jail for shooting a rattlesnake.
I don’t think we have a shortage of sharks.
But a shark killing people was/is okay?
I know they don't have a spinal cord like fish, but Chefs drop live lobsters in boiling water.
I agree that wanton emotions show lack of character, but can we at least confine the penalty for cruelty to mammals that have a nervous system like our's?
I myself have bludgeoned a snake to death when my only handy tool was a stick.
It may have been stupid, but hardly a crime deserving jail sentence.
drag a shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
go to jail, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
drag a shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo,
go to jail!
There was a time, still around after I was born, when one of the most powerful societal controls was shame. When you have a society without shame, then the only available punishments come from government control, or taking the law into one’s own hands, neither of which tend to end well.
Benac, the animal abuser, just happens to be the son of a local County Commissioner.
Hence, the light sentence that was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
There is never a reason, much less a good reason to treat even the most vicious of animals cruelly. It proves them better then we as they kill to sustain themselves, not for the pleasure of killing.
That said I’m curious as to the moral, and mighty social media allowing the video while they ban, cancel, censure conservative media. Quite curious.
I saw the footage of them laughing and grinning in court. If I were the judge and saw that I would have slammed them with the max sentences and fines possible. Affluent, arrogant, scumbags.
I have nothing against hunting and fishing...I have done both much of my life...But people who abuse and torture animals ain’t worth SH!T, in my opinion....
Proper correction would take place at a Neighborhood Mens Club meeting assembled behind a members garage.
Since when did it become illegal to shoot a shark?
When I lived in Fla people would catch sharks just to kill them by any means they saw fit. Nobody released the stupid things unharmed, they were shot or stabbed.
Pouring whiskey down a fish’es throat makes sense

There’s a hint.
