Absolutely unbelievable. Yes, he should have been punished; no, not a 25-year sentence...good grief. He would have been better off to have killed her. The court system would have let him out sooner. Man, what a thinker!
The guys beheading hostages in Iraq, if captured alive, will not see that many years in prison (20 maximum?) and words do not exist in the English language to describe what they are. I'm going to bed.

Life sounds about right.
This is, after all, a third strike.
May the head of the dog torment him for the rest of his miserable life.

Beheading a dog does not strike me as the act of a stable person. Many serial killers exhibit the same traits, if you check their history. He knew about the 3-strike rule in advance.

This is unbelievable cruelty, but 25 years seems a little bit high. Putting a dog down is one thing, but beheading it is just plain wrong.

I'd like to know what his other 2 convictions were. If they were really bad, then I'm happy with the sentence.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
I am against any sort of animal cruelty. That said, as a Christian, I believe we have dominion over animals, insects, plants, and other non-human elements.
I cannot fathom how an animal's life, extinguished in such a way, warrants such a conviction when we condone (and applaud) the slaughter of farm animals.
This should have only been tried as a property crime. We should handle such transgressions through social scorn and not our judicial system.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
Oh I see. So a man can rape a seven year old and get just a couple months. A baby can be aborted partially out of the womb until it's nine months. But don't you DARE hurt an animal.
Pardon me while I vomit.

..."he's been on anti-psychotic medication..."
Yeah this guy is really stable. Maybe he could be your neighbor. He didn't get to strike three by being good citizen material. Good riddance to a psychotic criminal.

Having a little trouble with your reply..
"when we condone (and applaud) the slaughter of farm animals."
Wanna explain this line? Since you claim to be "christian" are you saying that it is wrong for us to use farm animals for food?

"Abernathy, who previously was convicted twice in 1986 for assault with a deadly weapon, is scheduled to be sentenced July 23. Brown said she will ask the judge for the maximum sentence under California's "three strikes" law.
Bingo.

He should be put away on the legitimate prior crimes and not this charge.
Again, how can we condone eating meat of any sort or killing other mammals such as mice and believe killing a dog is inherently wrong?
We have deemed our domesticated pets as "human". They are not.
Please be consistent and encourage people to turn themselves in for involuntary animal murder when their actions result in roadkill.

If only the doctors who kill babies could serve appropriate time!

The sad part is that this is more time than he would have gotten if he's killed the girlfriend Marie. Peta is happy though.

I will be glad to explain.
As one who grew up on a farm, I know what it means to care for, and subsequently slaughter, animals.
I believe we are intrinsically allowed to kill all animals and insects but should seek to be an appropriate steward of them.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
I don't have a problem with this SOB's sentence at all.

Thats all the statement anybody here needs from you to make an informed decision about your posts. If the bastard had beheaded my dog, he'd be pushing up daisies.
He should be grateful he's just somebody's boyfriend.

Not the same thing. He was convicted of cruelty to an animal, a felony. Look at this guys priors. I wouldn't weep for this cretin.
