'Dog cried like a child'

What kind of a moron ties a dog, and not just any dog, a rottweiler, to the handlebars of a pedal bike, whilst riding a long? ...Steven Parry! Then when the lead gets tangled up in the wheels, and causes him to fall off, he looses his temper, kicking the animal several times, so hard that it "cried like a child." He obviously has anger issues, and the fact that he will probably get a free solicitor on legal aid and a slap on the wrists of the judge, isn't much of a deterrent to stop this kind of person from taking his frustration out on animals.

The boyfriend of the mother of late Baby-P was also caught abusing animals on numerous occasions but received nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Maybe if he'd done some time in prison, he may have thought twice before going on to abusing and causing the death of this little one.

Violence and abuse is what it is, whether it's towards an animal or a child, neither can defend themselves, and the punishment should be just has harsh as it is for abusing children. Maybe if this becomes the case, abusers who start with animals may be prevented from moving onto children!
