One question that is usually asked is “Why is Lady Justice always blindfolded?”. This is done in order to indicate that justice is (or should be) meted out objectively. Without fear or favor, regardless of identity, money, power, or weakness.
Of course, it also means Justice can’t see a damn thing. Which is usually the case in animal cruelty sentences. As you can see here.
In the sad death of Rebel.
Here are three complete lowlifes that are singing the Jail House Rock. They stole an SUV from a cemetery that belonged to Mary and Craig Michael. In the SUV was their 16-year-old dog, Rebel. When the SUV was recovered, Rebel was dead. Read the original story here.
Gabriela Adela Briones, 32, pleaded guilty to vehicle theft by a repeat offender, receiving a stolen vehicle and animal cruelty. She also pleaded guilty in four other cases that included charges of identity theft, burglary, grand theft and violating probation in a fraud case. She was sentenced to two years in prison.
Mike Juan Deharo, 28, plead guilty to taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. He was sentenced to three years probation and one year in jail. The jail term is to be served in San Bernardino, where he had already been sentenced in another case.
Rhett Hermanson, 19, attempted to cash checks stolen from the SUV. He pleaded guilty to forgery and being an adult in possession of a firearm with a juvenile conviction. He was sentenced to one year in jail and three years probation.
Jake Palmer
The Omaha dog owner who had no money to treat his sick pet and let it die at home. Palmer never answered any calls or visits by the police or AC which resulted in having his door broken down by the police to check on the dog. Deanna’s story is here.
Charges dropped. The prosecutor dropped the charge because there wasn’t enough evidence that the owner caused the dog to suffer. The city will now pay for the door, and Jake Palmer paid a $25 fine for having an unlicensed dog.
Barry Davis
Another puppy mill operator with dollar signs as brains. Pulled the ole’ I-have-health-problems-your-honor-so-I-can’t-go-to-jail routine. Click here for the background story.
Sentenced to one year in jail and nine years of probation on 12 counts of misdemeanor cruelty to animals.
Davis will serve the entire sentence in the Putman Count Jail. He is required to pay restitution of more than $4,000 to Putnam County for the care of more than 180 puppies, as well as court fines and fees. Once out of jail, he will be required to work 40 hours of community service.
Davis wasn’t charged with a felony because none of the dogs died directly as a result of his actions. Oh really.
Lauren Masterson
Locked her puppy in a closet all the months she owned him. When it hit 100 degrees, he died. Then casually tossed him into the garbage like yesterday’s diapers. Deanna’s story is here.
Masterson pleaded guilty to first-degree animal neglect. The first-degree animal abuse charge was dismissed.
Was sentenced to two days in jail and received 44 months bench probation. She was also ordered to perform 80 hours of community service with an animal control agency and was barred for five years from owning an animal.
Her brain must of been eaten by the same bunch that got Faith Kilby.
I just sent this a few minutes ago – to all of the newspapers mentioned.
No jail for not treating dog! Is every judicial system except a few out of their cotton pisken minds? What is the matter with the judges now days? Anyone who thinks( I stress that assumption) that torture, pain, suffering, and in a lot ( to many) cases agonizing death of any animal should be no punishment must be miss humanity in their souls. If there is no soon in prison well that sheriff in Arizona that has the tent prison certainly found an inexpensive solution. Him I pat on the back. Its about time we the people start being held accountable, and that doesn’t mean a slap on the wrists.
These are crimes! The victims are living, breathing, feeling creatures that have done nothing wrong except for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, that allowed these two legged, poor excuse for humane beings to get a hold of them. If(and obiously from their actions there is no IF about it) these people (and I use this term loosely) are so insensitive to the pain, suffering, and anguish of a living creature, that they are supposed to care for, then what does everyone think is going to happen when their are people involved? Give everyone, 1 guess!
These kind of misfits need to be put someplace where they can never mistreat, abuse, or cause the death of another single living thing. I personally am sic to death pf this pansy manor of judicial non-performance and I am certain I am not alone in this feeling! The premises that they are only dogs or it was just an animal is so ridiculous that I want to throw up. These terms with just a variation should be(applied to these poor excuse for humane beings): Its just an unfeeling inhumane piece of garbage that needs to be dealt with and permanently pulled out of circulation .
Its no wonder this world is in the trouble it is in. You have a proven murder and there are groups that will fight to their dieing breath to save them from execution even though they are as guilty as sin. Their logic: ” It won’t bring back the one that died.” No it won’t, but what about their next victims?
Animal abusers are potentially futer murders and it is a proven fact that where there is animal abuse going on there is more than likely family abuse happening.
Isn’t it about time that the people of this world start concentrating on the victims and stop worrying about the criminals in these countless upon countless cases? They have committed a CRIME! They are supposed to be PUNISHED! Victims from wives, children,Grandma’s and Grandpa’s to the family pet or farm animal need protected from these monsters in humane guise. If you have ever experienced physical and mental abuse then I don’t need to say any more to those people. Now if you are in the minority of the lucky few that hasn’t had to live in that kind of nightmare, count yourself so lucky.
Please though we all have to get this type if inhumane person out of circulation where they can not harm anyone or any animal again. Stan Up And Be Counted ~ Please.

It may not do much but who knows.
Although I did remove the first sentence in the other ones, as it didn’t apply to the other Jerks.
What is wrong with society these days? Are these P.O.S’s going to get a slap on the wrist when they KILL a human being? Why doesn’t the justice system get a clue? I think their punishment should be the same thing they did to the animal! Oh the poor people that say it’s cruel and unusual punishment to do that to people. Take a look at what they are doing to the animals you F’in IDIOTS! Sorry this stuff just pisses me off the more and more I read about it. GET A CLUE!
I hope when their times comes it won’t be so kind either. Horrible and no thought to the dogs well being people like this will pay in the end. And as for the lady justice being blindfolded, well maybe it is time to remove the blindfold so justice can see and make the right decision. As far as I am concerned there is not much justice since I just had the experience in court on an animal related case and the veterinarian brought in his collague to lie along beside him.
I hope and pray that all of these bast#@%^*% get some horrible disease and or raped and molested in jail so that they can feel something akin to what these innocent animals go through!!!
PUt there sorry arses on the island!
