this is reprehensible. As one of the comments on the link says "All in all, NOT a great week for Scotland, ........ this scum, a mother slashing her daughter, another lowlife pours petrol over a girl and kills her, and four pieces of pond scum, including girls, severely beat up a lass on her way home from her boyfriends."

Swastika thug batters deer to death with rock at petting zoo - The Daily Record
A THUG with a swastika tattoo bludgeoned a white fallow deer to death with a rock at a children's petting zoo.

Sentencing James Faulds to 22 months, sheriff Colin Miller told him he had committed a "barbaric act of unspeakable depravity".

Depute fiscal Lorraine Sweeney said that at 10pm on March 9 a keeper at the deer enclosure at Ayr's Belleisle Park Pets' Corner checked the 13 fallow deer there and found them all to be in good health.

Some time after that, Faulds, 19, climbed into the field and cornered a tame female fallow deer.

He then picked up a boulder and began caving in the animal's head.

Ms Sweeney told Ayr Sheriff Court yesterday: "He struck her on the head with a large rock causing her to fall to the ground.

"While she was on the ground, he repeatedly struck her again on the head with the same rock.

"When the deer attempted to get back to her feet, he again struck her on the head with the rock until she lay lifeless in the field."

The following morning, an employee found the animal and a post-mortem was carried out.

Ms Sweeney said: "The findings were that she died as a result of severe trauma to the head, causing cranial fractures and brain damage with bone fragments penetrating the brain and haemorrhaging of the brain.

"It was the opinion of the veterinary pathologist that the deer sustained the injuries as a result of a deliberate attack."

Police received information that Faulds - who has a swastika tattoo on his hand - was responsible for the death.

When he was interviewed and it was put to him that he was the killer, Faulds said:"F*** off."

Faulds admitted killing the deer and three charges of breaking bail.
 
Death Penalty? Imprisonment for many years to come, yes. But I think we're way beyond the time when death was a punishment, unless you were being sarcastic.

So you think we should pay to "look after" these people at great expense to the tax-payer rather than do to them - more humanely - what they have done to others? Perhaps the death penalty is outdated in your eyes, but I see no reason why it should not be given to the sort of savage barbarian who would, without provokation, bludgeon a defenceless deer. Instead what does he get: 22 months - it's almost laughable.
 
Indeed, he goes to jail and gets free food and shelter, he'll be out in half his sentence if he behaves. He did this to a deer, who's to say he wouldn't do it to a person? I think he should be killed the same way the deer was myself.
Poor thing, wonder what's going through peoples heads...? :(

No was been serious I personnaly think we should have the death penalty brought back in this country,for crimes where somebody or something has been killed un-lawfully,and if I had my way this idiot would be the first.As I don`t think we should pay for idiots like this to get food and shelter at my expense!
 
I agree they should be given life sentences for crimes like these; but I think punishment is served better if they are made to live life horridly as a lesson rather than be outright killed. There are a few exceptions who I would kill; Joseph Fritzel often comes up; but I think we have gone past the point where we resorted to death as the punishment, as it raises the question: Does that make us any better?
 
That's the point: Prisons aren't horrible anymore, some people who commit crimes have an easier and better time in prison than out. Not much of a punishment really.
 
Then surely we should be making longer sentences then jumping straight to the chair; we're better then that now.
 
People that do this sort of thing eventually end up doing similar acts to other human beings! Many famous serial killers started off torturing animals in their youth. I remember reading of one (his name escapes me) but he used to torture frogs in his back garden. the sentences for these people are too short in my opinion and they need some serious therapy before they are let out!

You may change your view on this one day, over time you will see there are some people in this world who some would say are evil, you as a younger person may not have come across this kind of person and hopefully never will, so yes in "some" cases bring it back.
 
what's the motive behind these kind of people? animals should not be something to vent your anger on.
 
Brings back memories of when a wallaby was kicked to death when some yobs broke into the zoo back home.
Vulpes is right, i think. I'm sure all the worlds evils started off crippling spiders. As for how to deal with them? Im all in favour of equal treatment. Stone a deer, we stone them.
 
To many people animals are classed as lower than Man as they are not as intellegent, and are supposedly completely different to us.
Regardless of what has happened a living thing was brutally murdered.
If this man had killed another man he may of been given 25 years of imprisonment but for killing an animal its 22 months.
Does that seem right? - It doesnt to me.
A living thing has been mudered but becuase it is a wild animal it is for some reason lower than us and presumably less important.
This deer's life has ended because of some idiot thinking thet it is allright for him to do so.
We are animals so why on earth should the laws and charges be different when will kill something such as this?
 
The punishment part of any prison sentence should be just that - punishment - and it should be longer than it currently is. If there is any threat to the public after extensive and repeated evaluations of the incarcerated then that person should never, ever be liberated. Do I believe in bringing back the death penalty? Sorry, no I don't.

It might have something to do with the fact that we frequently kill animals to eat. I've not got a problem with this (when done humanely) but there are some of the more militant vegetarians & vegans who consider "meat is murder". As long as we view animals as food it'll be impossible to consider them equal when crimes are committed against them. You've also got the problem of delineation regarding which animals should get protection (ants, mice, wasps?). Do you want a driver who's driving too fast and hits a cat to be prosecuted for "manslaughter"? If animals have the same protection can you try one animal for killing another?

Some of the above is absurd to make the point that non-humans are not the same as humans and the same laws and principles can't be applied. For the record I think existing laws regarding animal protection, apart from the odd situation, are reasonably balanced. Sentencing and punishment is a different issue though and I think there's an argument that sentences for most crimes are too low (as a result of not enough prison spaces).

I don't believe in the death penalty (for anything) and don't want to get into a (severely off-thread) debate about it. It's easier to accept that like religious beliefs you're unlikely to change the other persons perspective, both sides have a logic to support their beliefs, and usually both parties believe in the same goals (a better society) but think there's different ways to achieve them.
 
Dan, I'm not accepting that there aren't any evil people in the world, no way: I know that Hitler, Saddam, Fritzel, etc., make fictional villains like Goldfinger and Darth Vader look like pansies. But resulting in killing themselves turns round the moral rights. Sorry for quoting Doctor Who here, but there was a line in that saying "if you could decide who lives and who dies, that would make you the monster." What this neo-nazi has committed has hurrendous and as pointed out could lead to human murder, but all I think he deserves is a very long sentence, probably a life one.
 
Shorts accidents happen. We may accidently hit a cat while on the road but we could equally hit a man.
What im saying is with this guy being charged only 22 months for stoning a Deer to Death when if he had done it to a man it would of been many years I think its just a tad wrong.
 
The death penalty still exsists in the UK for treason-
if you can understand it then it does state that the death penalty should be given to any person or persons that commit the act of killing any of the monarchs subjects should at all times recieve the death penalty. I know the law was changed years ago because of the do gooders (who have no idea) wanted it to because of human rights.
Well it's any persons right to recieve justice and as the bible states a LIFE FOR A LIFE
I would gladly be the person to pull the plug on anyone who commits such a sick crime
