Teens Sentenced for putting Puppy in an oven

[Hraesvelg]

I wasn't trying to say that a human life is worth more than an animal life. I was wondering why you think it is acceptable to end the life of a living being, when in fact it is the same action you abhor in the first place. At what point does ending the life of a living being become acceptable and just?

This is exactly why I don't understand why death penalty is deserved for those boys.

Hates the act killing, but wants these boys killed?
It gives me a mixed message.

The teens did commit the gruesome crime of killing the poor puppy.
But do you think killing the teens would make the puppy more or less alive?

I do think they may deserve something more than 10 years of prison, but I don't think they deserve to be killed.

My first rational act would be "they deserve to die" but on my second thought, I realise they're still young and can still be reformed. Everyone deserves a second chance.
