B.C. Man found guilty of Throwing Puppies down a Toilet.

First, may I be the first to say; what the hell?
This is the dumbest crime I've ever heard of being commited. 57 year old Frederick Hoath, of Pincher Creek B.C., was discovered last January to have thrown five puppies, live friggin' puppies, down his outhouse, and left them there to die. What the hell? The only thing I can think of to say is, "Bad Hoath! Very bad Hoath! NO! Don't throw puppies down a toilet! Bad!".
At least he was convicted of animal cruelty, and will be sentenced on January 27. No word as of yet if the puppies will press charges in private court on grounds of psychological damage.
My only question is as to why someone, well into life at 57, would throw 8 week old puppies down a toilet. I raise no blame to anyone in this article (except the old dog who will learn some new tricks in prison), but someone has to have influenced this decision.
Thank you and Goodnight!

The Conservative attack adds

So, I had just succeeded in repairing my TV last night, so I decided to sit down and watch the tube. Not much was on, so I decided to watch the old, reliable YTV. No sooner did I turn this channel on than a BLATANT attack add by Stephen Harper's conservatives on Dion, not the liberals, but on Dion, appear. The add claimed that when Dion was asked if he would cancel the government program for giving families an additional 1200 dollars, it quoted "yes".
Now, there are a few things that catch my attention in this particular add. The first, that this "conversation" with Dion took place in 2006. Hence this is completely irrelevant to our current government situation. The second is that this add was seen on YTV. YOUTH FRIGGIN' TELEVISION! The friggin' name of the channel spells out that this is not the channel to be broadcasting something that requires legal adulthood to participate in! What, is Harper hoping that come poll day some hundred thousand little kids will run up and scream, "Mommy! Mommy! The guy on TV said the Deen guy is a bad man! don't vote for him!".
The third thing I noticed was that these adds are very similar to the attack adds run by- you guessed it- the conservatives in '92 against Chretien. I'd like to bring up that Chretien won that election, and I believe that if Dion can get his act together, he'll make people realise that the conservatives are a bunch of childish pricks.
thank you and goodnight!
