YERINGTON, Nevada (AP) -- A 13-year-old boy convicted of cutting the eyes out of a dog was ordered Wednesday to serve an indefinite term in a state facility for juvenile delinquents.

The sentence also requires the boy to receive counseling and write a letter of apology to owners of the yellow Labrador retriever. The dog had to be euthanized after it was found wandering blind last April.

The attack last April shocked this small ranching community 80 miles southeast of Reno and prompted reward offers of up to $5,000 for information leading to a conviction.

Prosecutor John Schlegelmilch said the boy's time in custody will depend on how well he responds to counseling.

**This boy needs more than Juvenile Hall. He also needs to do more than a freaking apology letter. Maybe a couple of hundred hours of community service and replacing the dog with an AKC registered Lab with his own money, and restitution to the family for grievances.

Boy, people like this better hope I am never appointed to be a judge

Thing is, a kid to do sick sh!t like that does not usually grow up to be an asset to society.

Little prick. I'd like a few minutes in a room with him and a bat.

This is one of these cases when there is no hope, just like when a race horse brakes his leg, put to sleep.



and no I´m not talking about putting the dog to sleep, I´m talking about the boy. Though I´m against the death penalty but there are times that I realy wish I was violent so I could smack his head til it stops working.

All I've to say is an eye for an eye. Lock him in a room with a whole bunch of hungry pitbulls. They teach him a lesson.

<< and write a letter of apology to owners of the yellow Labrador retriever >>


how the hell is that going to make the owners feel any better?! they'd be better off giving them a knife and let them cut the kids eyes out and let him wander around blind before being killed.

 

[BigSmooth]

That's just wrong... a trusting dog like a Lab just gets brutalized... makes me sick. People often treat their dogs as members of the family. Infuriating. :|

 

[Moving Target]

Shoot the little bastard!

 

[Frenchie]

What the heck is wrong with these kids?

 

[ArkAoss]

ughh, is all i can say

 

[Raspewtin]

OMFG! This boy must be very disturbed.

 

[roc919]

OMG! No more Doom and Mortal Kombat for the boy!!!

 

[Thorn]

We need to institute public caning (like in Singapore) for situations like this. That's just wrong, WTF is wrong with kids today? :|

Actually, I can answer that one. There's no serious reprecussions for actions like this... no fitting punishments in this country and few parents that instill the proper values into their children. Yeah, a good public caning would do wonders... right in front of all his school buds and neighbors. At least if people don't have the morals to function properly in society, they'll fear the penalties for their actions.

<< OMFG! This boy must be very disturbed. >>



He certainly is, but how does a young boy become this disturbed?

Sounds to be like he just didn't give a crap about anything or anyone else. Poor doggie. I hope he gets his arse kicked a few times while he's there for picking on an animal that would have a hard time defending itself. :|

 

[FettsBabe]

Excellent point Thorn. He needs a good arse kicking by his parents instead of timeout! If they won't do it then maybe the owners would!!!! I know for a fact that no one better ever touch one of my dogs with malice in mind. If they do they better hope I never catch the fools. :|

 

[TheDennis]

This is pretty ridiculous. I'll never know what makes somebody want to do something so stupid. There is something terribly wrong with this kid and I don't think any amount of counseling will do. I just hope that there is always somebody watching him because lord knows if he would do something like that to a dog then more than likely he will do it to a human being too.

 

[Optimus]

Argh - isn't this what they always find out about the childhood of serial killers?

That kid will never be right... sick sick sick! :|

 

[Revenge786]

i hate dogs, but not that much.

 

[snow patrol]

That's sick.

 

[skywhr]

They should cut out his tongue and nose scar him up real good and cut off his feet at the ankles....

Kinda like what the guy was gonna do in Princess bride.

 

[Azraele]

Awwww. Poor doggie

 

[Jumpem]

I'd volunteer to unload a few 12gauge deer slugs into his chest!

 

[Jumpem]

F**K, I'm really pissed off! If anyone did anything remotely like that to my black lab they would be in a world of S**T!

 

[bigbootydaddy]

hope video games and tv and media dont get blamed and they realize the obvious that the kid is just f'ed up and his parents probobly were never there for him.

sorry i just hate how society tries to blame everyone but themselves. 2 cents.

 

[Elledan]

People like this are defective and should be removed from this earth.

 

[FettsBabe]

Good point, video games don't cause this.
