local kids set turtle on fire.

One was 18, the other was 17. They are pretty much adults. If they are old enough to drive a car they are old enough to know not to light animals on fire. :icon_thumright: Thing i dont get is why the 2 are getting punished but obviously there is someone else that was taping it.:icon_scratch:

Let's light you on fire repeatedly and watch you scream and flail about. After all, it's just Joel.I agree that it is just a turtle but it still shouldn't be right to let it on fire. I think they should have it on there permenent record and be put in juvi for some time....
so joel come over and i will light you on fire...it might change your mind

Animal abuse often leads to abusive behavior later in life. Try them as adults and make them spend a few months in the state pen.

I honestly believe that they should change laws (which many states sort of are) so that you are tried as an adult above the age of 16 and, depending on the type of crime, younger. The "they are kids they didn't know any better" line is 100% bullshit. I would have known at the age of 12 easily that lighting a turtle on fire with gasoline or anything like that is bad, and i'm sure most of you would too. Obviously they dont deserve the death penalty for it but they don't deserve a slap on the wrist either.

I do not think they should spend any time in jail....slap them with a fine and put them on probation. I dont think you can compare a turtles life and a humans life.
If they did that peta would have a FIT. Thousands and thousands of letters have been coming in from all over the country asking for a harsher punishment... -

And I have served time for them!!!!I guess some dont hold as high reguard for life as I do. And it doesn't matter whether its human life or not.

Does anyone know if the turtle even died? I mean it isn't like the threw it in a 2000 degree oven and baked it. I am just going by what I see in the video.
