Letter: Maximum punishment

Editor, Daily News:

Once again, I was both shocked and dismayed to learn of another case of animal abuse. This one was allegedly perpetrated by Emaus Lansequot when he threw a defenseless orange-and-white kitten against a wall, causing death.

If we are serious about curbing animal abuse, we must make Lansequot's case an example and prosecute him (and all future offenders of this type) to the fullest extent of the law.

Let's hope that the imposition of maximum jail time will strongly encourage others to control their temper rather than harming innocent children or animals.

Finally, it is my firm belief that anyone who could live with himself after witnessing/participating in this type of violence has earned and deserves a similar fate.
