Girl in Court over 'Bunny-slapping' video

I seriously do hope they make her life hell...

what a bitch. hope she gets slammed against a house a few times one day

What the hell is wrong with people?!

Great indicator of psychopathy. Bad seed.

Teenagers are getting worse.

It's like rampant mental illness!

The parents need to be jailed too OR at least agree to a parenting certification courses. Obviously if their kids are engaging in this kind of behavior and they encourage it, didn't notice it or did nothing to stop it if they did notice it -- either way -- it's proof that they need to be trained on how to be better parents.

There should also be mandatory psych evaluations for all the kids involved.

Normal people don't enjoy hurting animals nor stand idly by and film it.

Jail alone isn't going to correct what is obviously a serious mental illness shared by all the participates.

We as a society need to get more comfortable calling people batshit crazy and treating them as such.

I don't view this as a prank so much as a precursor to psychotic behavior. Step one is giggling hysterically while torturing a rabbit to death and step two is a Columbine-style shooting at the local high school.

Maybe they'll film the massacre with their cell phone too?

I just refuse to believe this type of insane behaviour isn't a direct reflection of the skill-level of the parents.

I know this sounds over-the-top but I truly believe parenting certification classes should be mandatory.

You can't drive a car without proving to the government that you can do so without being a danger to yourself or others on the road.

Imagine the chaos that would occur if there were NO requirements for driving -- anyone, anywhere could speed down the road and drive anyway they wished.

Isn't poor parenting just as dangerous?

If my kid gets shot to death because YOU were a bad parent -- it doesn't seem like an adequate reponse to shrug your shoulders and say to me, "That's just my style, man! You can't tell me there is a right way and a wrong way to be a parent!"

If your "style" of driving can get someone killed on the highway then that kind of recklessness gets your license taken away for the safety of others on the road.

If your "style" of parenting is so poor it creates another Colombine killer (or just an animal abuser)....nothing happens.

That doesn't seem right to me.

Ok aside from being appauled at the horrific act Im just shocked by the stupidity. Why do teens keep commiting crimes, filming it and putting it up online?! Honestly how stupid are they? Oh yeah...very stupid.

that's baaaad bunny karma.

Im guessing she only did it because she was drunk?

And if she's able to do that to a bunny, I wonder what else she's capable of?

What a bitch. Peta needs to get on that girls ass. Can't you be prosecuted for Animal Cruelty? Nice house comment.

people arent getting worse, certain aspects of society are just getting more airplay.

and the douchebag of the day award goes too.............

>_< Bleh, just the thought is making me physically ill...

The attack is indicative of sociopathy.

I'm probably going to catch hell for this, but why waste tax payers money in courts over a rabbits life. Get the girl the help she needs and don't waste a judge's time.

why did it have to be a bunny

Kids who do stuff like that grow up to be murderers

a) teenagers aren't getting worse, people have been abusing animals since forever, it's actually getting better because we all care so much

b) the girl was drunk

c) if the media would stop acting like this was the biggest thing going on in the world maybe people wouldn't get the impression that youth are getting more violent

solution. ground her ass, make her do some community service, ground her friends, make them do community service (all at the zoo)

BIG IDEA: maybe ask why a 14 year old was so drunk she was swinging a rabbit around by the ears. yet again, parental supervision (or lack thereof) is to blame

People honestly want the drinking age lowered to 18? Does that mean 11 year olds will start doing stuff like this?

Isn't fourteen a bit young to be drunk and swinging bunnies? It's a slippery slope from here on.

Um, drinking doesn't make you decide to abuse animals if you weren't already predisposed to do so.

I don't know how anyone could do something like this, but it sounds like this girl has some serious issues that need to be dealt with.

Yes, but it would have been ok if she had shot it instead. Rather than tying up the court system with trivial cases like this they need to be prosecuting real criminals.

14 and drunk?! Good grief, where are the parents?

I have a bunny and I love her, I just about cried reading this story.

Not only does this little freak deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law but so do the "friends" who stood by and did nothing to stop it.

how dare they blame alcohol? Bitch was obviously crazy to begin with to think this was funny sending it to others after the event.

I have been WASTED before... and never have i so much as wanted to hurt a tiny little fly while tottering around all boozed up... alcohol is not a reason for anything- it usually means there is something else wrong when you act out like this
