The fact that they were tame makes it all that more horrific of a crime.
It's bad enough, but the thoughts of someone walking up to any pet and then torturing it, is frightening. When one of Gods creatures is used to perform, and act as a source of enjoyment for families, being trained to put smiles on children's faces, is abused and tortured for a sick twisted act such as this it is as distasteful as one can Imagine.

I understand that there are limitations to what the court can do, but the court of public opinion may be one that won't be as forgiving.

I wonder, if something like this had happened on a horse farm in central Kentucky what would the impact be? Im sure that it would make national news, and there would be a cry from the horse industry for more strict
punishment for acts such as this.

Your last paragraph is A VERY GOOD POINT!!! That would really change everything and is a point that I have not thought of!
