I just read that on the baynet. Some people don't deserve to breath! Wasn't there anyone there to stop this person?

There had to be something nearby to bash him in the head with - if he was already drunk, how hard could it be to stop him?

This is exactly why that organization Maryland Votes for Animals is working so hard to strengthen the laws against animal cruelty and abuse - the laws in MD are NOT tough enough.

I know of one rescue group that is already asking volunteers to show up at court. I suspect the court room will be full of people that want to see this guy get the maximum punishment.

I sent the story link to that grou so they can follow up and maybe be there also? I don't know what the current penalties are for animal cruelty/abuse, but I hear many of them are a mere slap on the wrist.

It probably depends on the judge, too. I have been told one judge that retired in Calvert County, was very lenient on animal abuse cases.

Good thing that judge is retired. I received email about an upcoming event to help legislation for animals in MD:

Maryland Votes for Animals (MVFA) will host a Humane Scorecard Kick-Off Party and give out eight Humane Legislative Champion awards to Maryland's most humane legislators on Monday, August 9th, 2010. The event will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m at Yellowfin Restaurant located at 2840 Solomons Island Road in Edgewater, MD 21037. (Edgewater is on the east side of Annapolis.) Tickets can be purchased on the homepage at Maryland Votes for Animals | Let Kindness Reign, Vote Humane. Tickets are $15 if purchased by August 1st and $20 at the door. Appetizers will be served.

Party with Maryland's Animal-friendly Legislators!

NO WAY! They are linked to HSUS and the like! Only way I would go is to be sure I don't vote for these people.

Hmm this group seems to operate with volunteers - at least that's what I was told ..... I hear they show up and speak about the cases in MD to show why we need tougher legislation.
