Sorry, should say it's a petition you sign, and it takes all of thirty seconds.

I saw this last week and have already signed it. It's those hyenas that need dragging behind the speedboat. Bloody sick freaks, it makes me so angry to see things like that.

What a terrible petition. Are we at the stage where people start petitions thinking if they get enough signatures someone will get a jail sentence? Good grief.

Report akabula • August 1, 2017 9:33 PM BST

A step up from what's being introduced in Scotland ie letting the general public have an input if they think a particular sentence is too lenient.
I'm sure a million signatures would carry some weight.

S_d, gratuitous cruelty to animals does not float my boat for want of a better expression. What they did was sick.

Report Shrewd_dude • August 1, 2017 9:46 PM BST

Agreed Slippy but do people think that whether or not someone gets the jail will or should come down to how many people sign a petition?

Not sure what you refer to Aka.

I thought this thread was about Stan Kronke!

Can some smart kid start a fit and proper person petition?

I don't think somebody who kills animals for fun is a fit and proper person to own an ENGLISH Football Club!

The Yanks might have their second amendment but we hate animal cruelty in this country!

10,000 to go for what? When it reaches 75,000, it'll say 25,000 to go!
I've seen it so often that people promote their petition by sauing xxx votes to go when all it means is xxx votes for the counter to be reset

People torture fish every day in this country.. I remember watching someone catch some live bait (small Fish) stick a hook in its back and hope to catch a bigger fish. They call it fishing! every day all over the frigging world fish are tortured... just saying.

Report Shrewd_dude • August 1, 2017 11:51 PM BST

But are they on social media and has a petition been started?

Report detraveller • August 2, 2017 12:00 AM BST

As long as you are not making a video of it and not laughing, its not torture.

Report Shrewd_dude • August 2, 2017 12:06 AM BST

Not true Detraveller. The petition clearly demands jail for "THE ACCOMPLICES" and raises concern why said unseen, unnamed and presumably unknown accomplices have not had charges pressed against them yet.

Im just talking in general. All i know about this petition is "community-service-and-jail-time-for-the-men-who-laughed-as-they-tortured-a-... Dont know why people take change.org seriously.

YOu would had thought they have bigger fish to fry.

Report Shrewd_dude • August 2, 2017 12:25 AM BST

I'm being sarcastic.

I had no idea about online petitions, signature counters and such. I just saw this when I was on Reddit, and thought if me taking thirty seconds out of my day could help punish a group of evil f*ckwits, then it was worth doing. Cheers to everyone that made the effort, and go f*ck yourselves to the ones that didn't

Yes I used to do this, live baiting, I would catch small wrasse/pout then hook them alive with a large hook and cast them under the pier, used to catch nice big bass this way. I don't do this nowadays I just use worms.
