Here’s yet another ’slap on the wrist’ sentence for the unconscionable and cruel killing of a dog by a teenager! Last March, an 18 year old of the 200 block of Fourth Street, East Conemaugh, PA, Klynn M. Cvejkus, entered an unoccupied house and for some sick and twisted reason stuffed a little terrier dog into the washing machine and turned it on.
The dog died as a result. It’s neck was broken. Can you imagine the pain and suffering of this little dog, jammed into a washing machine, tossed and bashed around until it’s neck broke?
Obviously the judge didn’t buy her story of finding the dog already dead on a roadside but neither did he give her much of a punishment. On Thursday she was given one year probation, fined $300, plus administrative fees, by Judge Gerard Long.
And to belittle the poor innocent little dog’s brutal killing even more, under the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program, if she doesn’t do anything else with the next year she will even come out of this with a clean record.
Now someone please tell me where justice has been served?! This ’slap on the wrist’ mentality of our justice system needs to stop! This was not some innocent little prank, a living, breathing, feeling creature lost its life to her brutality. This was nothing less than torture.
The link between animal abuse and future violence is well known but obviously not taken very seriously. Just like the five boys who set a dog on fire and received counseling for they cruel and vicious crime! The ’system’ will be seeing most if not all these miscreants again in the future and they’ll be asking where did they go wrong… well, here it is! You have only yourselves to blame. Think what you’re going to tell the next victims of the crimes perpetrated by these little animals!
I’m convinced its not going to get better. I feel despair all the time reading these things about what teens and children are doing – to animals and to each other. Am sure you all know about the teen beating in Florida. Be afraid, be very afraid. As I reach my declining years, I only hope I go out before they start running our future.

AIR, it does frighten me, it scares me to death to think what the world will be like with these being the future of our society. I hope I’m dead before I see the ramifications! I don’t think it’s a world I would take much pleasure in living in.
I agree…of course you guys already know how I feel about my time here on earth…
I’m just not sure how we got to this point..Is it video games?..movies?…THE NEWS!!!What is happening to the kids these days?It is scary to think about these violent souls being in charge…What is teaching these kids to have no empathy???Could it be the LACK OF PUNISHMENT?It seems to me, these slaps on the wrists, is sending the message that it’s no big deal to torture and kill an animal…WTF!!!!What is a big deal then???…I guess tax fraud is more sinister!!What a crock..
Sadly, it’s the parents who have no compassion for any animal and the kids grow up with this. We all make choices so they can change but choose not to. Also there is no more dicipline at home and it’s not allowed in schools anymore so these villans get do get away with murder and obviously think it’s funny
okay, sorry to make more work but we need a national listing of all of the judges…names, city, state, contact info…who are lenient on animal abuse…like bill o’reilly does..with the judges that refuse to punish child abuse….and there are plenty of them too……post their info and let the country know who they are and demand they be removed from the bench. send letters to their town’s local papers and let their town know who and what they have in office….demand they be removed from the bench or resign…..speak up people!
in about a year from now i will be able to do this myself and i can’t wait….if anyone can do it now…please do!
