I'm guessing she was too d### lazy to try and find the dog a new home or to take her to the animal shelter. She may very well have been euthanized there but at least she wouldn't have been suffering for 2 months. This woman ought to be locked in a cage for 2 months without food and water as a punishment; then she'd know how the poor dog felt as she was slowly dying.

I am so glad the prosecuter didn't cave to the Petards and go after this woman "tooth fang and claw".

There is some common sense left in our judicial system.

What changed is that idiocy took a break,,,, animals are not equal to people,,, they are still property regardless of what you mentally challenged ARAs think. Sure she deserves to be punished but not with a felony.

Animals have the right to garlic and butter.

I'd love to know why the charges were reduced. Wasn't leaving a poor animal in a cage, with no water or food, in the heat, cruel enough?
She needs to have the same done to her. What a pig!

What is wrong with people? Don't have an animal if you can't\won't take care of it. Why didn't she take it to a shelter? At least the poor creature would have had half a chance instead of no chance at all. How cruel.

Someone should put her in a cage without food or water for two months. Misdemeanor..what a crock. I know at least ten people who would have taken the dog, myself included, if the bitch had only tried to find another home for the poor dog. If I lived in Cocoa I put a sign MURDERER on her front door.

Someone should give you garlic and butter you sound like an animal. I'd bet my dogs have more brains than you and are a lot nicer.

Maybe someone should put you in a cage without food and water for two months you moron. I just hope you don't have a pet..you don't deserve one. A dog gives you unconditional love. Too bad the same can't be said about "people".

How many times do you need to respond till you get it right? Perhaps yer panties are just in that tight a bunch.
How I treat my pets is not the issue, however,, my entire life I have had great dogs who were very healthy, loyal and well behaved. They respected me because I was the master, unlike so many idiots I see weaving in traffic with a dog jumping all over the car. Could this be you,, so stupid you can't get friendship and respect from your own species, so you own a pet to make you feel better?
I see treating animals as humans as a much bigger problem in society than an isolated case of abuse.
Y'all need to get a life and find some humans that need protecting instead of wasting all this energy and angst over a member of a lower species.
Why should poeple like us end up helping people like you; who are of the lower species. I rather take someone like you out back and put a bullet behind your ear. It would save the world a lot of grief so you can't breed and spread your disease

The reduced sentence is a joke. She's a low life scumbag with no heart. How cruel! There is such a thing as "Karma".

Unbelievable. This stupid round heel should have got the max penalty for this. Willingly and knowingly allowing this poor dog to starve to death rather than giving it away to a good home. I hope she rots in hell on the hottest coal down there.

OOOOoooohhhhhh a cyber bully,, cyber threatening me,,, I will probably cyber-piss my cyber-pants!!! You really ought to be proud being such a cyber-badass.
What do you mean "people like me" and "people like you" ? You don't know me, and what makes you think I need any help,,, doin just fine on my own thanks.
I don't need to name call and threaten to make my point,,, common sense for thousands of years agrees with me,,, compared to 20 years of anthropomorphistic idiocy that accompanies the world going into the toilet that agrees with you. Just trying to wake you idiots up before it is too late.
I do imagine your wish for the end of freedom and personal responsibility, for the end of America as the best nation in the world would be made easier by wiping out the disease of logic and common sense,,, unfortunately for you "people like me" will prevail. History bears this out.

Your posts prove that some people are equal to animals - you are nothing but an animal yourself. The only lunacy here is you - where all of your supporters? You don't have any that's why none are here.

Let me catch you treating an animal like she did - you will see an animal then.

What a damn shame that this scumbag will get off scott free after what she did to that beautiful dog, YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT SHE SO LOVED! The Humane Society was just a short distance away, she could have taken the poor dog there, but evidently she just couldn't be bothered. I hope that somehow, some way, the same thing happens to her. I hope she slowly starves to death and not one person will give a crap and give her any aid.

Don't need supporters to make you folks look foolish

"OOO let's save the little animals,,,, they're people too" total idiocy

Most people that feel like I do are out enjoying a nice windy Sunday in the woods exploring and using the GPS to mark where the tree stands are gonna go come bow season,,,or on the lake or ocean hooking into fresh caught dinner for tonight,,, or on the trails on their own property called a horse. These folks won't let idiots like you help PETA stop all these wholesome activities no matter how hard they try.

As for me, I am just finishing up some work and heading out to do some property management,, see if I can whack some racoons and armadillos so that the rabies season may not be so bad,, and the gopher tortoise eggs have a little better chance of hatching. Have fun wishing death on a human over an animal. I won't bother you twits again today.

max penalty is a year in jail,,,, which is just a little harsh,,, she'll probably end up doing six months. I think that's about fair.
