One of my biggest fears in life has been that I would catch someone , kid or adult, harming one of my animals. I am sure that after I got done, I would spend time, if not life in prison. I know I would be wrong, but I know that I would not be able to control my self.
I could only read through half of that. The part about the poor tortoise burning and trying to run away in fear was as far as I could get before I started crying. I am hugely in to animal rights and anything like this makes me want to scream in anger. I just don't know how anyone could do that to a living creature? It's sickening. The thought of anyone hurting my tortoise or cat just... urgh! How COULD they. There is no way I can watch the video. It will play on my mind for weeks.
Awful!
i watched the video. i don't know even know how a person can do that to an animal.I never watched the video, the written story was more than enough for me.

They both were to be charged as adults. The bail was reduced. http://www.firstcoastnews.com/story/news/crime/2014/07/26/turtle-torture-suspect-in-court/13205153/
Greene was also later charged with lewd and lascivious battery involving a minor. http://www.inquisitr.com/1386706/jennifer-greene-new-charges/
They were supposed to have a pre-trial hearing Jan 5 http://www.claytodayonline.com/ee/c...204_003_art_0/florida-tough-on-animal-cruelty
I was unable to find any additional or updated info even on Clay County's Public Records. http://svcs.clayclerk.com/oncoreweb4251/search.aspx

i think they should be in jail for longer! who ever finds joy in taking another life i don't consider a real person.I think I saw the max was 5 years but that's not the minimum...
