Wow, it takes a real manly-man to do this to an animal 1/16 of his size (if that is even a correct ratio). This jerk-off needs to be put away for the maximum allowable time. I have 5 cats and I think if one bit me I could get it off of me without beating it to death. From what I have read this poor creature died a slow lingering death because of the massive trauma to his chest and liver. What is it going to take to make people see that there is a behavior pattern in these types of instances. If he abused his girlfriend he will obviously abuse anything she cares about and vice-versa, there is a link in abusive behavior patterns. I hope this guy never has children or has any for that matter. If he goes to jail for any amount of time I really hope he gets is comeuppance. Karma is a bitch and she will come back and bite your ass.

joseph petcka is a very sick individual.  he should not be tolerated in our society.

IMO, he should be euthanized AFTER he is neuter without anesthesia and passed around a prison for 2 full years as every thugs "bitch".

please write to both the prosecuter and the court to DEMAND he is punished to the full extent of the law (which still isnt enough).

thank you
