Pleading guilty to animal cruelty got them three years probation, $5000 fines, and community service.
SHARON CUMMINGS: ‘The two Arkansas men who plead guilty to slitting a dog’s throat on Snapchat will not serve jail time. “They got a slap on the wrist,” says animal activist Diane Griggs. Griggs along with many other animals lovers were very disappointed in the sentences Judge Carl Sharp handed down to Boots Stanley and Steven Sadler. Director of the Justice for Animals Campaign, Doll Stanley says, “Anybody who would do that to an animal would do it to people in a moment of rage.”
Stanley says she did what she could to ensure these two men would spend time behind bars. “I personally brought 21,000 signed letters from all over the world.” Had Boots Stanley and Steven Sadler gone to trial, convictions could have earned ten year sentences. Pleading guilty to animal cruelty got them three years probation, $5000 fines, and community service… Louisiana law allows the killing of animals that have been deemed “dangerous”.’ SOURCE…
