When I saw this story on the Courier Mail website regarding how kitten-killer and all around sick fuck Shane Moore has just had his conviction overturned, I couldn't resist leaving a comment.

The tradition of judges handing down sentences so weak for animal cruelty they could practically be considered to be condoning such acts continues unabated, then. And just as previous acts of cruelty that went under-punished were used as justification for this monster's light sentence, his own sentence will probably be used in turn by the next person to kick a kitten to death, or set it on fire or run it over. Why are these sickos allowed to get away with stuff like this when it's proven that they are much more likely to go on to commit similar offences against humans? Don't Australia's judges have a problem with this? Maybe it would be different if they didn't see themselves as being so distant from the communities they supposedly serve.

That bastard only spent 5 days in jail for what he did.
