You may all disagree but its not rational thought talking here for me, its gut feeling.
I know what you're saying.  I want to believe that he has learned the lesson but how can we know?  I hate that he got off with such a light sentence but that is our justice system at work.  So now he gets his 2nd chance. 
How many people are there who live in the "back hills of where-ever"  who fight dogs, or roosters, or any animal and when they get caught they get probation or a suspended sentence or some other slap on the hand.  I'm hoping that his notoriety at least brought the problem to the attention of the public, which I think it has done. 
I hate reading about stuff like this and about morons that zip a kitten up in a duffel bag and leave it there for 6 days til someone else finds it and saves its life or jerks that put a rubber band around a dogs snout so it can't eat or drink and leave it for someone else to find.  I would love to see them all get the death penalty and in my opinion they deserve that.  But it won't happen. 
And what about bull fighting in Spain.  What kind of sick person would want to watch someone torture and torment a bull before killing it?  The grand-stands are always packed with people and it makes me wonder how they view other animals and how they treat their pets. 
The sub-human who lived across the street from me  moved about 2 months ago and left her dog.  She told animal control that she can't have a dog where she moved, but yet she was able to take her two horses!   She shows up once a week and dumps food into a bucket and some man shows up once a week and does the same and the dog is alone the rest of the time.  He barks, howls and whines most of the time and I've called Animal Control at least a dozen times and they tell me that legally there is nothing they can do because she is providing shelter, food and water.   The dog is afraid of people or I'd probably go get him and bring him here, which of course would be committing a  crime that could get me arrested.  @@
The whole situation makes me furious and depressed.  My next idea is to start calling the sheriffs office 2 or 3 times during the night when I wake up hearing it bark or howl.  I would rather see it go to the shelter and have a chance of adoption than to see it being neglected as it is. 
If anyone has any other ideas I'm open to suggestions.
