Reading this just about killed any happy thought's I may have for a long time yet.
Hardened police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven-month-old fox terrier puppy near Mackay at the weekend.
Two men, charged with the brutal killing, entered no pleas when they fronted a Mackay court yesterday.
They are due in court again today.
If found guilty, they could face up to two years in prison.
The incident is alleged to have happened in the mining community of Moranbah, west of the central Queensland city.
Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone which shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it hacked to pieces.
Animal rights experts have described the case as one of the worst and most horrific in Australian history.
Police will allege that a pair of garden shears and a pocket knife were used to torture and kill the little puppy.
Moranbah police said the dog was a family pet.
They said the owners were too distressed to talk to anyone about it.
The dog’s nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated.
Police will say the dog was stolen from a residence in Railway Parade in Moranbah and was taken to a lookout in the town.
You know what part especially sickens me? That the maximum possible sentence these pathetic wastes of carbon can receive is either two years in jail or a $75 000 fine (and the maximum sentence ever handed down in the past for this kind of thing is just 4 months in jail). Personally I think even the chair is too good for them by a very wide margin.
Ah well, there's always the hope that their fellow inmates won't take kindly to this and treat them to a torture death, hopefully while the guards are conveniently looking the other way.
