(Newser) – An Aussie woman has been sentenced to 180 hours of community service for slicing the head off a mouse with a steak knife and posting a video of its 40-second death on Facebook. The 23-year-old woman pleaded guilty to animal cruelty. A second enemy of animals faced charges the same day of torturing and blowing up five possums. He's being held behind bars pending his sentencing later this month, AP reports.

I am curious as to whether or not anyone who had to put an animal down also supports what Dr. Kevorkian used to do.

Uh, wtf? Every time a mousetrap is triggered, worse happens. Hell, I'm guilty of mouse-slaughter too. I fed mice to my snake. This is stupid.
