teenager punches horse

[Hairy Old Cob]

Not nonsense at all I'm afraid. Most people who abuse have been abused in some way themselves. My point is that we don't know enough about this particular boy to make me comfortable with reading the posts from a baying mob suggesting he deserves to be put to sleep. Does anyone really think that is a reasonable reaction?

In fact it makes me extremely uncomfortable - which in no way suggests that I condone his actions.

Nonsense.
Plenty of people have a s***y upbringing or have to deal with tragedy, but don't grow up to be abusive. Sadly a lot of them grow up in care are - having to put up with little turds like this.
If he's that disturbed he should be locked up although I suspect a good hiding off the horses owner would have made him think twice about doing it again.

I agree with this.

I too, like many, have had a traumatic childhood, do I use that to excuse my actions?

Of course not.

I don't stand with 'oh, it's understandable because.....'...

Well probably quite a lot in all honesty. I suspect that he hasn't had a secure upbringing teaching him right from wrong and probably very little compassion shown to him at any age. Makes it quite hard for him to behave in an acceptable way I should think.

We don't really know anything about this troubled boy over what has been reported, which isn't much. Quite shocked but I suppose not surprised at the number of people advocating the death penalty.......talk about a lynch mob!

I agree...he prob wasn't shown any kind of upringing by his horrendous parents so therefore they should have been given the electric chair then he may not have been around to deliver such cruelty and good doers would not feel the need to defend him.... unfortunately our society is full of young people with no respect for themselves let alone another human being...so animals are way down on the list... I once watched a documentary that said most killers had experimented in animal cruelty... what a shame they weren't prosecuted for that then they may not have gone on to murder 6 women !!

I used to watch crime watch and it was...8 cans stolen from local convenience store now its 88 year old woman murdered for 10 pound... no punishment equals no respect...

what a sad world we live in

bring back national service... get those 16 year old boys made into men instead of animal beating cowards !!

I was left on a door step as a baby and grew up In care for a year or two then was fostered by my maternal grandma.. Even then I didn't have a very secure upbringing..

Wouldn't say I'm particularly this was inclined. He sounds very cruel and needs a good telling off.

As for the comments about his younger girlfriend, I was 15 when I had a 18 year old boyfriend.. We're still together 4 years on and I was more "experienced" than he was.

It goes on the person, not all 14 or 15 years olds are the same.

Anyway back to the matter in hand, hopefully he'll be reprimanded properly for his actions.
