BBC NEWS | England | Dorset | Three boys held over fawn killing

Not sure if the initial article made it's way on to here, but it made me REALLY angry. Anyone know what's the worst that can happen to these three? Hopefully a bit more than a slap on the wrist.

How about a good old public flogging ? I bet these little bastards will get probabtion or a warning. Frankly their parents should get a stiff fine at the very least.

Possible silly question here - but what are the punishments for animal cruelty (assuming that's what they're being charged with), isn't it just a fine?

For adults, it's up to 6 months imprisonment with powers to deprive ownership of the relevant animal and disqualify from keeping all or any animals.

Not sure about for youth.

They could get a visit from Alf.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Deery me.

 

[ali jenkins]

Why is there a £2k reward to help catch them when there already on custody?

more than a slap on the wrist.

Six months in prison.

Give me five minutes with the little *****... Oh, and well done the parents for bringing up such fine children.

I'm staggered

Agreed, I'd like to see the parents punished so that they realise what little bastards they've reared.

stick em in a cell....and then put a f***ing annoyed stag in there and lock the door!

 

[BeardyChops]

The sad thing about this is the strong links between animal cruelty and family violence, and the reasons someone starts taking it out on defenceless victims.

I hope those responsible get taught a better lesson on life, whatever it takes...

I would BATTER all 3 to death.
