Man Who Mutilated Rabbits Deserves to Die

What a sick, twisted, disgusting piece of human garbage.

For those who have not read the sickening, heartbreaking story in the North Adams Transcript yet, it appears that on Tuesday night a man broke into a construction company called Berkshire County Construction in Mass., and brutally mutilated 5 pet rabbits after he was unable to steal away a company truck.

According to the Massachusetts paper, Public Safety Commissioner E. John Morocco said the suspect, caught on video by the company’s surveillance cameras, seemed to fly into a rage after failing to break into a truck. "Immediately after not being able to get into the truck, he basically attacked 15 rabbits in coops over there. As a result, five animals are dead -- four adults and a baby," he said.

How did he do it? Why? The man, angry that he could not properly steal the truck, decided to open a nearby rabbit hutch with a two-by-four and start beating and killing rabbits. He ripped off rabbits’ ears, tails, and hanged one by the neck from a chain. All this because he couldn’t pull off the attempted theft. What a first-rate, top-drawer loser.

"Material things are replaceable, but this is just unnecessary," company owner Tracey Duquette said. "These were our pets. We bring them home. I don’t know what I’m going to tell my 6-year-old daughter. I can’t tell her what really happened. I don’t want to tell her there really are monsters out there."

Wow, talk about someone who deserves to die.

And that’s what I propose. I say anyone who could do this to another living being, animal or human, deserves to die. That’s right. I’m playing God. Deal with it. I say strap him into an electric chair and cook him alive. I don’t care about his oh-so-sad past. I don’t want to hear about psychological issues, or some lousy life situation that left him desperate enough to do this. Any human that could literally rip apart a defenseless animal, as said animal(s) screamed and cried to be spared (as I’m sure these rabbits did), should not be allowed to live on this earth for another second. You take a life, ANY life, you deserve to die.

In my opinion animal abuse is the worst crime in the world. In fact, I feel worse for these rabbits than I do for that little girl that Joran van der Sloot killed in Peru. She had a chance to get away. She could’ve said anything, besides I know who you are and what you did, to get out of that hotel room. She wasn’t TOTALLY defenseless. But these beautiful animals? Like I said about that piece of trash, Michael Vick, and that deadbeat joke from Schenectady who tortured his girlfriend’s dogs: one torturous death deserves another. I wish we could lock all three of these degenerates (along with the thousands of other animal abusers) in a bomb chamber and blow them to smithereens. I’m a pet owner myself. And if anyone did something like this to my babies, their life wouldn’t be worth a bucket of spit. Take that for what it’s worth.

"It was brutal," said Sgt. Roy Sutton of MSPCA law enforcement. "I would call it a mutilation and a killing."

According to the North Adams Transcript, the suspect faces felony charges of malicious destruction of the animal of another and cruelty to animals and could face up to 2 1/2 years in state prison and up to a $2,500 fine, if convicted. He also would face local charges of breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, wanton destruction of property over $250 and intent to commit a crime (larceny of a motor vehicle).

2.5 years? $2,500 fine? Yeah, OK. So what. Big deal. And, who cares about the damn motor vehicle that he didn’t even get away with anyway? I have a better idea, a more fitting punishment. As revenge for the rabbits, let’s take this sicko to Americade at Lake George this weekend. Let’s tie his legs to the back of one Harley and his arms to the back of another Harley. Then have the motorcycles race down Canada Street in different directions. And the 6 year old who owned the rabbits gets to be the girl who drops that bandana in the road to start the race, just like in those old drag cars movies. That’s my idea. It sounds crazy, horrible, I know. Almost as horrible as literally ripping defenseless rabbits apart then hanging one with a chain around the neck.

"This person has to be caught," Duquette said. "What kind of person could do this? This person had no remorse; no conscious. This was an act of violence -- meaningless and psychotic. What scares me is that this person is still out there. He could do harm to a person."

Sometimes I think it’s the end of the world, I swear. Between this BP Oil Spill, and Joran van der Sloot, and the wild weather, and that ridiculous flake from NYC who's suing Citibank for firing her for being TOO HOT to work with, and the fact that the stupidest, birdbrain politician in world history, Sarah Palin, is actually, unbelievably somewhat relevant, I just don’t know where we go from here. I guess I know now: breaking into construction companies and crucifying rabbits. I hope this guy dies a slow, brutal, bad, horrible death. That's my hope.

For the record: the suspect is described as a white male, 16 to 20 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing 140-160 pounds and of slight build. He was wearing black-and-gray camouflage pants, a dark hooded sweatshirt and a red-and-white baseball cap (red on the back and bill and white on the front). He was also carrying a black-and-white backpack.
