Murderers often start on animals.

Good. I hope that the penalty will be severe and not just a slap on the wrist or a small fine.

Hope they catch him before he moves on to kindergarteners. This is one sick sociopath.

Some really sick people out there who really do need to be caught; someone knows who they are.
However, I can't say that I don't harbour evil thoughts towards the rabbits who got into my garden and decimated my cabbages last week.

As a vegetarian and someone with a 3 year old, I can’t comprehend the psychological effect this must have on the kids.

He'll face charges for killing a few rabbits, but Japan euthanizes countless stray dogs everyday. Seems a bit hypocritical.
