(Newser) – British police are on the hunt for three boys who stomped a newborn fawn to death, reports the BBC. A dogwalker, too frightened to confront the violent gang, witnessed the attack in a park in Dorset. "In 23 years I have never seen anything quite as barbaric and horrendous as this," said a local wildlife officer. "It worries me what these youngsters might go on to do."

People that do animal cruelty should be put in prison for life.

....I wish as soon as this behavior started ( with 100% total proof that it's the right person ) they would send them to the chair. It's not worth having them around D: (maybe we could send them to the moon...?)

When one doesn't respect another life, one doesn't respect another life, whether human or animal.
