Teens sentenced for cooking puppy in oven

Atlanta teens killed dog, then threatened children if they told about it

ATLANTA - Two teenage brothers each were sentenced to 10 years in prison for torturing a puppy by cooking it in an oven.
Joshua Moulder, 17, and Justin, 19, pleaded guilty in January to charges including burglary, criminal damage to property, terroristic threats and cruelty to children.
The brothers brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy, then threatened to kill them if they reported it, prosecutors said.
Police said they found the dead mixed-breed puppy inside an oven at an apartment community center Aug. 21. Scratch marks were found inside the oven, indicating the puppy had been alive when it was placed inside, prosecutors said.
A necropsy on the 3-month-old dog found its paws and snout had been duct taped and it had been doused with paint before being placed in the oven, prosecutors said.
Authorities also found damaged computers, broken glass and splattered paint on the walls of the newly refurbished community center.

The brothers’ first trial ended in a mistrial in December. Their attorney, Timothy Owens, said he had hoped his clients’ sentencing would have focused more on rehabilitation than incarceration.

What kind of sick, demented, twisted kids are we raising these days? This kind of cruelty just turns my stomach. Also, the line about their lawyer "hoping the punishment would have focussed on rehabilitation rather than incarceration" -- I've got news for ya Mr. Lawyer, at age 17 and 19 the boys are well beyond help. If they have reached a level of apathy for another living being so as to duct tape it, cover it in paint and bake it alive in an oven, they are pretty much hopeless cases. Yes, let us all sing "Kumbaya" and rehabilitate these demons from their unfathomable cruelty and apathy toward another life. Let's let them keep roaming the streets so they can work their way up the food chain to our children and satiate their next escalation of adrenalin-fueled extacy and cruelty. No! I have a better idea... let 'em rot in hell.

	Curtis Sprisslera écrit : Ten years!? I hope they get to serve it in dog years. Ha ha. I think this is a bit much. These kids are going to lose their entire youth over one mistake. Imagine both your teenage sons were being taken away from you until they were grown up. Much as I love animals, you can't apply human rights to them, we eat them! 29 Mar.
	Dale Westa écrit : I remember in high school hearing some of my peers discussing how they had recently killed some kittens with a drill press. I can't confirm it was something that really happened, but sick, demented kids are not anything knew. It has little to do with censorship or the internet. Some individuals eventually grow up; they develop a greater respect for others, or destruction simply for the sake of destruction loses its appeal. But if you're baking puppies and bragging about it to local children, and in you late teens...its probably too late for rehabilitation. 11 Fév.
	Kelly Dickinsona écrit : This totally makes me ill. What has beecome of our children/Teens/20 somethings? You hear sickening stories every other day now. IS it because of the breakdown of family? Is it because there is no more RULES that can be placed on these children that they know they can't break because they know they can get away with everything. "cause parents/teachers etc.. are not allowed to punish their children, not even a little spank. Also, as much as I hate censorship, TV, movies etc.. and the internet are a bit to blame too, for parents can't police that enough either, the whole made sick world is at this children's fingertips, and their eyes are seeing things we couldn't haveimagined when we grew up. Sad, sad world. 10 Fév.
