Man gets 4-year sentence for killing rabbits:

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to four years behind bars after admitting to mutilating and killing five pet rabbits during a break-in at a construction company.

The North Adams Transcript reports that Wayne Brackett Jr. accepted a plea agreement Friday that would allow him to go free in two years with good behavior.

Brackett also was sentenced to perform 100 hours of community service at a location other than an animal shelter.

Police arrested the 23-year-old North Adams man after getting a tip from someone who recognized him from surveillance video taken at Berkshire County Construction in June.

Brackett admitted to breaking into the company and killing five of the owners' 6-year-old daughter's rabbits. He told police he had been drinking and smoking marijuana and did not remember harming the animals.

serves him right. {good}

the sentencing of performing 100 hours of community service not in animal shelter? i think they should make him to perform in animal shelter instead.

I had the same thought for a moment, Adrian, but then I realised that the shelter staff would have to watch him every moment, which would be an extra burden for them.

2-4 years in prison, though -- that's a long time to sit in a cell, terrified of the crazy criminals nearby, and think about how vulnerable those rabbits must have felt. That's justice! {good}{good}

Re: Don't you wish Malaysia has laws like this?
 

yeah... true also. but anyways, asalkan the sentence is being carried out for that long, then i think it is already an appropriate punishment for him. {good}
