I cannot think of a punishment severe enough for these monsters.


Two Indicted for Online Distribution of Puppy-Snuff Videos

A Houston man and woman are being indicted for allegedly distributing snuff films online in which puppies and other animals were tortured and killed, federal officials said.

Federal authorities say the pair made eight videos — bearing titles like puppy 1, whitechick and crushblackluvsample — that depicted puppies, chickens, kittens and other animals being tortured and killed.

The indictment (.pdf) on Wednesday of Brent Justice, 51, and Ashely Richards, 22, comes three months after they faced similar state allegations in Texas for producing and distributing the graphic movies, referred to as “crush” videos. The two remain in a Houston jail on the state charges and are set to appear in a Texas federal court next month to answer to the new charges.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it forwarded to the authorities footage that allegedly showed Richards “cutting the leg and slashing the neck and throat of a puppy before beheading the struggling animal with a meat cleaver.”

people who are interested in animal torture could find plenty of strays to torture themselves. It seems odd and makes me wonder if there's more to the story.

what are the chances they'll be served consecutively. One can only hope. But you're right, there is no punishment severe enough for these sick freaks.

It's only a matter of time before they start using humans, IMO. Sick, sick people.
