Give Judges more alternatives to protect the community other than jail……Not happening.

Not much can be done. You could vote P.B. in as chief minister but he would probably also hang pregnant teenagers and public housing tenants.

I like the way you think, lethal injection, great alternative to gaol…

“What on earth can be done with someone who would do this???”

Fund mental health. ………Not happening.
Support the family and friends……..Not happening.
Give Judges more alternatives to protect the community other than jail……Not happening.
Provide ongoing medical support and supervision…………….Not happening.
Fund long term secure mental health facilities……………May be happening.

Put him in gaol where he can’t harm other people or animals. That’s what it’s there for.

there are dog owners and dog lovers…this is so sick…this guy needs serious help

The neighbours video’ed the attack, and are now scared of retribution.
And when police visited, his father was sleeping outside in his car, as he was scared of his violent son.

So I think everyone knew, but were too scared to do anything.

The parents must have known the dogs were being mistreated. Neighbours, too, no doubt.

This story from the ABC shows that a neighbour did know, since they filmed it and told the police. Parents obviously knew he was dangerous, since the mother has been stabbed in the past, and the father was sleeping in the car to stay away from him.

Top bloke!

Is there a mental health unit in the remand section of the Hume Hilton?

If not, just what the hell do you do with this individual?

Outraged? Do something about it.

The parents must have known the dogs were being mistreated. Neighbours, too, no doubt. This case is apalling and should not have ended this way for the three animals involved. As per the ferret killers, I am confident that our judicial system will deal with this person in a way which makes it clear how little the humane treatment of animals is valued by our society.
