Worst Animal Cruelty Case Puppy Hacked to Death
The horrendous acts commited against this poor defenceless puppy are nothing short of sickening. In Queensland in October 2008 Trent Willliam Cunniffe 24 and Jonathon Connor Blake 21 committed the drawn-out torture of Peanut, a 10-month fox terrier abducted from a family's Moranbah home
RSPCA officers consider Peanut's prolonged mutilation to be
one of the worst cases in Australian history. Even police were
sickened when they viewed videophone images of the ordeal.
The violent slaughter of this defenceless animal was recorded on a mobile phone. Peanut was slashed with garden shears and a pocketknife --
severing his nose, a front leg, rear leg and finally, his head. During the
video's last segment, Peanut's amputated body parts are displayed.
Their case is due to be mentioned in court again on Nov 17 so please sign and forward this to as many as you can to help ensure that the severest penalties possible are handed down to the men that committed this unthinkable crime
We the undersigned request that the maximum penalty allowed under
Queensland's Animal Care and Protection Act, including a $75,000 fine and
two years' incarceration be handed down in sentencing the perpetrators of this callous and brutual act of animal cruelty
We feel that it is time serious penalties are enforced to protect innocent and defenceless animals and to send a message to the community that these acts will no longer be tolerated
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time.
