A Bold Contrast In Character

Two competing stories via the Daily News this morning.

Seventeen year-old Cheyenne Terry of the Bronx taunts animal rights activistswith obscenities for all the wrong reasons. She and an even younger girl are facing jail time after placing a former friend's tiny kitten in an oven, killing it. They left the apartment to avoid the animal's cries. Meanwhile, NYC firemen temporarily adopt four Pit Bulls who apparently like to ride in firetrucks (illustrated) after extinguishing a blaze in their owner's apartment.

A heartless kitty killer hissed angrily at animal rights activists Wednesday, grinning widely as she took credit for stuffing the helpless pet into a 500-degree oven.

 "It's dead, bitch!" snapped an unrepentant Cheyenne Cherry, sticking her tongue out after a plea bargain that will put her behind bars for a year in the May 6 killing of tiny Tiger Lily.

Cherry, 17, was confronted after her guilty plea in Bronx Supreme Court to charges of animal cruelty and attempted burglary in the May 6 killing at her former roommate's apartment. ###

--- Four frightened pit bulls found refuge in a fire truck early Saturday after a blaze broke out in their Chinatown apartment, officials said.

The well-behaved animals felt so at home inside the truck it took first responders to the fire at 147 Elizabeth St. 30 minutes to coax them out.

One dog sat in the driver's seat and others hung out in the storage compartments on the side of the truck.

This is what happens when parents aren't allowed to spank their kids... and also when parents neglect their children by spoiling them without any discipline.

The Singaporeans got it right: that whole family should be caned, or perhaps subject to the Biblical punishment of 39 lashes with a flogging whip.

I don't know that it is so much a lack of spanking per se, as it is a lack of punishment and the now monolithic tendency to blame the bad behavior of one's children on other people.

Dan forgot to mention though that this piece of trash, who has previously been convicted of robbery using a gun for stealing someone's dog at gunpoint is only getting a YEAR in jail for breaking into someone's apartment, trashing it, stealing from it and then killing a kitten in the most horrific way imaginable. A year in jail.

One can only hope that some of the prisoners are animal lovers and that she might get some real punishment before she gets out, ready to pump out some more sociopaths and goes on the future crime spree that is undeniably in her future.

I think its fair to say we now have in Ms Terry a perfect candidate for health czar in the new Obama plan to save on health care costs.

"only getting a YEAR in jail"

While not positive, I suspect that may be because she is 17. Technically, she is a minor and gets a new life at 18. With it, she will likely promptly kill someone. But that is our system as it stands.
