Those are certainly words.

I had to read it twice to ensure it was correct, also fuck him for torturing anything let alone our distant cousins (I think? Sort of?) . Still a more odd sentance to read in general and I do like odd. But still fuck all participants nothing deserves to be tortured.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I think he should have to suffer the same torture he inflicted. He deserves no mercy.

I strongly believe people like this, who actually make and organize those horrific videos/groups, will NEVER be rehabilitated in the sense that they get cleared of these impulses.
Every society is better off if they are just permanently dissapeared from any public interaction.
Slap a drug pump on their backs and have them so doped up they can only shuffle onwards for the rest of their days.

Save the drugs. Bury him.

seems like a waste of resources. I'd feed him to the animals he tortured.

I personally say face them against a wall, but I know that overall people don't like that solution.

This is not excusable as like rehabilitate-able behavior, he should fertilize an apple tree and be happy about it because that's the only configuration of his atoms I could see that'd actually benefit anyone.

There are plenty of occasions where that's the best option for everyone, from every angle

Poklek also pleaded guilty to publishing obscene videos for gain, as well as possession of indecent images of children and possession of ketamine.

uhhhh, how about getting him more than 2 fucking years??

The judge said Poklek would be released after serving about a third of his prison sentence under the Sentencing Act 2026, and called for longer sentences for animal abuse, which currently has a five-year maximum.

[–] TimboSlice@discuss.online 4 points 3 hours ago

Why is there a maximum for animal abuse? That's crazy to me..

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

People get more than that for having a fucking joint on them in some places. Why do we as a society consistently give the worst of the worst light sentences?

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 4 hours ago

Fucker probably has money.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 7 points 4 hours ago

This guy will murder someone one day.

Some people don't deserve the benefit of being called humans

[–] psycholocomotor@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

No, this is totally human behavior whether we like it or not. People can and do become like this.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

The videos were so unthinkably horrific that they offered counseling to everyone that had to watch them as part of the investigation and case. Yet they gave the people involved (not just Poklek, a few other women) the equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

Zoosadism makes me so violently angry. And modern social platforms like Telegram and Discord have just fueled the distribution (and thus production) of it like wildfire. The one that gets me the most is the prolific cat torture going on in China, due to virtually zero animal rights laws.

Fuck this gay earth.

[–] psycholocomotor@lemmy.world 1 points 28 minutes ago

"gay earth," "cat torture in China"

Guys, is this real? I don't wanna look it up myself.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Holy fuck this wretched creature needs to be put down.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

kinda prefer to see him ripped to pieces by a pack of rage monkeys. like, give the monkeys LOADS of meth, show them the videos, then let them resolve the situation.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 1 points 56 minutes ago

Whole-heartedly agree. Just so long as he's not part of the mortal world at the end anymore, I'm cheering.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

Until this fucker is in the ground, there won’t be justice.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

Maybe this is !offbeat@lemmy.ca but doesn't fit for me here in NTO

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like a mouth breather

[–] Carrots@quokk.au -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He looks like a fuckin monkey himself.

[–] psycholocomotor@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

the monkeys did nothing wrong.
