I agree with the conviction this cruel, thoughtless man was awarded.

Is drowning vermin worthy of criminalisation? A criminal conviction is a
very serious matter. People seem to think these days that the cruel blunt
instrument of the Law should be used against anyone they just don't agree
with.


"Think of the kittens" maybe?

The time and money spent on this means some nasty git avoids
prosecution for mistreating something fluffy.
The local RSPCA helpline gave some pretty shocking advice when we
spoke to them about a feral cat.
