I don't see why the kid should be tried as an adult and locked up for 5 years. I do see why he should be watched and possibly kept in an institution for a couple years. Some of you are saying "fry him" or "I don't care what happens to the kid". The second is the biggest problem in my eyes. Obviously he hasn't been cared for alot in his life or this wouldn't have happened. When a person says fry him does that really solve anything? You kill a human for killing ONE cat. IMO, an animals life is NOT equal to a human life. I have pets and I love them deeply and I understand that it's hard to replace them. I would be terribly upset if something happened to my pets like this. I would however realize that the child needs help and sending him to prison is not the answer. If I had to choose between the life of a person whom I loved deeply or my pets that I love deeply I would choose the person. Send the kid to get some help and try to improve his life.. don't make it even worse.
