vampgirl Posted August 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2004 ROME (Reuters) - A retired Italian man could face up to a year and a half in prison if found guilty of killing his six pet hamsters and one guinea-pig by throwing them off his terrace into passing traffic. The man, detained by police after the guinea-pig crashed into the windshield of a car, told officials that he had accidentally knocked the animals off his terrace while sweeping, AGI news agency reported on Thursday. Police in the northern coastal town of Imperia discovered the hamsters' bodies littered across the street after the motorist complained about the broken windshield. By studying the trajectory of the pets' bodies they were able to identify the man's apartment. Under a new cruelty to animals law, the man could be sent to jail for between three to 18 months for killing the pets. He will also be held responsible for the damage to the windshield source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco5832000 Posted August 13, 2004 #24 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Humans are sick minded animals. The worst of them are the ones without the intellect to truimph over its own nature. I know that there are some perfectly strong humans out there, but roughly sixty percent are prisoners of their own discusting instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
