This is a Story about cruelty to animals

As most of my friends know ,we just moved from a small town back to Houston Texas...Something happened in that small Texas town we moved from right before we left that was very upsetting..I would like to share this TRUE story, and then i would like to hear your opinions..There was a man in the town with a wife and two small children,he had a horrible temper.This one night the wife saw his temper rise and she told her children that they were leaving until their Dad cooled down because she knew he would get abusive,so the wife and children left the home.They had a dog (a family pet) that belonged to the children and he was about 2 years old,a little terrier,since the man had no one to beat on he took it out on the family dog.He beat that little dog,broke both his legs and battered that poor animal until he was almost dead..He was an awful man.Later when the wife and children returned she rushed the dog to the vet but the vet told her the dog was so bad off and he had brain damage so the vet had to put the dog to sleep...Now there was a big write up in the paper asking the public to write in give the judge their opinion on what should be done about the crime he committed against the pet.The judge wanted to give the man 3 years in jail,but he wanted the public to vote..I was one of the ones who wrote in and ask the judge to follow through with that 3 year jail sentence..I don't know how many others wrote in.Now this is what I would like your opinion on....I am a animal lover and i think 3 years was to light of a sentence,but i did agree that he did need to serve 3 years at least.What do you think about this? and don't you feel that a person that would hurt an animal like this should go to jail?Now this is true,this man and his family lived in that small community.Had I been his wife i would have left him long ago...So please comment.
