From the Houston Chronicle: Criminal judges see the very worst society has to offer. So when a
Harris County magistrate judge halted the reading of court documents
during a hearing last week because the details were too graphic it was
clear this was no ordinary case.
The court proceeding was for a
Houston man and a woman who are accused of profiting from videotaping
the torture and death of several pets, using meat cleavers and other
knives.
Ashley Nicole Richards,
21, and Brent Wayne Justice, 51, are accused of posting videos of the
killings online for people who use the violence for sexual
gratification. They have been charged with cruelty to non-livestock
animals......
Prosecutors in court said that throughout 2010 Richards received
emails from clients who offered to pay her to provide so-called "crush"
videos of tortured animals for their sexual gratification.
In one
of the videotapes, Richards can be seen torturing a pit bull puppy,
according to a criminal complaint filed Aug. 16 in the case. She
allegedly bound the puppy's mouth with tape and cut its back leg with a
meat cleaver. She then cut the back of the dog's neck and used a
different knife to cut the underside of its neck, prosecutors said.
The
dog was bleeding and struggling when Richards used the meat cleaver to
sever its head from the body, a prosecutor told a magistrate during the
probable cause hearing last week, prompting the judge to stop further
reading of details in the case.
Houston Humane Society spokeswoman Monica Schmidt said she has never heard of a case like this in her four years in animal rights.
"In
the back of my mind, I've heard that something like this existed, but I
never dreamed that my city would be where this horrible abuse would be
taking place," Schmidt said. "I think this takes animal cruelty to a
whole different level of what we're used to seeing in Houston." http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Couple-accused-of-using-meat-cleaver-knives-to-3801304.php
In one of the few times PETA has done something good, they were the ones who turned these horrible in, so kudos to PETA.
Sadly though, it sounds like the most these thugs will get is 2 years in prison and a fine.
Finally, to the people who watch these things (and up until now, I never even heard of this sexual disease), may you rot in hell along with these thugs for being this sick.
