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

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

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.

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

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

Murderers often start on animals.
