why these people didn't have to do ANY time is beyond me

it sickens me people get away with treating animals like this. it really does. well HER case is settled and SHE didn't have to do time, his case isn't decided yet. PUT THEM BOTH AWAY in a CELL COVERED IN EXCREMENT with KNEE DEEP EXCREMENT ON THE FLOOR. make them STAND IN IT as long as the animals had to. don't feed them much, just now and again toss them something putrid and nothing but stagnant water to drink.... (this is just a fantasy, i really am not cold enough to wish it were actually true EVEN THOUGH THEY DESERVE SUCH A PUNISHMENT)

Animal Cruelty Case Decided
By STEPHANIE SUMMERS Courant Staff Writer June 2 2006
In a major farm animal cruelty case, a 43-year-old Mansfield woman received a suspended sentence and probation this week after signing over to the town 30 malnourished and parasite-ridden horses that were found in foot-high manure.Donna Russell and her husband Kenneth Morgan, 48, were charged in late April with 51 counts of animal cruelty and four counts of confining dogs for an unreasonable amount of time. In March, animal control officers and investigators discovered the horses, dogs, sheep and goats confined without water, sufficient food and proper shelter on the 80-acre farm at 342 Mulberry Road in Mansfield. Two horses and a ewe were found dead.In a plea bargain agreement Tuesday in Superior Court in Rockville, Russell pleaded guilty to five counts of animal cruelty and received a five-year suspended sentence and three years' probation.Morgan's case has not been resolved. He is scheduled to appear July 11 in court........
