I live in a suburb by St.Paul so I am very familiar with the news of the guy that hurt Nilla. It just reinforces the fact that people that abuse animals also abuse people in their life. This guy is just SCUM!

people need to start taking the spay/neuter advice more seriously. all these cats & dogs that are homeless and in shelters or running the streets did not do this to themselves. they didn't ask to be born or abused. more widespread education and cheap fees for the services will help, but it seems such a slow process. are we winning yet? I can't believe they only give this guy like 7 months for killing a defenseless animal. as you can see, he has moved on to humans !! It's great that declawing has been outlawed in more places now. It's brutal and barbaric and the only reason to do it would be for a medical reason.
