Malc R said, ".... left it to die a slow and lingering death by starvation..." and, "should be prosecuted for causing unnecessary suffering..."

You don't garner any support by such statements. Yes... the SOB who did this should be abashed and educated or punished. But, when you take to making claims which cannot be proven in order to add further vilification, you detract from your arguement and lose all credibility. Step back and think about what you said for just a moment. I should think it plausible that the subject asshole was a poor shot. No?
