Cat killer’s 10 months is no deterrent

❑ Mark cuthbert gets 10 months for setting 3 dogs on cats and films it. Where is the deterrent? Then he’ll be out and do it again. Someone needs to teach him a lesson and put him in a room with some attack dogs. anon

❑ Where the hell is justice and the deterrent. What a joke. Ayr courts like others should be shut down and the animal cruelty scumbags should be dealt with by members of the public. No wonder these cretinous barbaric low lifes are still committing animal cruelty. Big J West Midlands

❑ That evil thing Cuthbert should have been thrown to the dogs just like Ramsay Bolton in GOT. Sadly we live in a civilised society, obviously, so such acts are not allowed. Shame. JoM

❑ Mark cuthbert: dreadful man should be put down. shirley pops

❑ I was sick to read that sick mark cuthburt set his dogs on to pet cats and other animals and only got 10 months! They should lock him up and throw away the key or better still hang the b ***** d. Hunter

❑ Evil b ***** d Mark Cuthbert given 10 months jail for letting his dogs rip apart helpless animals. Disgusting, should be 10 years! That picture will haunt me. Rita

❑ I was appalled to see the picture of the dogs ripping a cat apart, it upset me for the rest of the day. jim

❑ So it’s a criminal offence for parents 2 smack their kids in scotland, Ok then just wait till the kids start runnin riot like they do in england coz they don’t get punished. Kev in wigan

❑ One reason for the rise in crime in youngsters in this country could be due to lack of discipline? The anti smacking brigade say it’s unnecessary to hit a child. A tap on the back of the leg works! Hence 7/8yr olds running riot. We need discipline throughout life! LAC

❑ RED FRED. If you check NHS stats, they recorded more knife injuries in 2007 to 2009, BEFORE the police cuts. No direct link there. Bob in notts

❑ I totally agree with Red fred’s comment on rise of violent crime and loss of 20,000 police. Friday night, west end: (worst night 4 trouble) I saw just two officers walking thru a sea of drunks! No knife arches either. Unbelievable. OZZY, LONDON

❑ Phil Leeds: Londoners pay a lot more Council Tax than anyone else in the UK. A percentage of that goes to City Hall and both they and the local council pay for the elderly (60+) to receive free travel. TLB

❑ 60+ Oyster card we get down here in London: I agree that it’s very unfair that 60 plus people don’t get free travel cards in other areas of Britain and that should be addressed. But I was just a working class guy working in a factory for 40+ years until I retired. We’re not all super-rich down here in the capital. FLOYD

❑ Us women abandoned by governments who stole our state pensions shud now man up and ask why critically ill babies born to heroin using parents r supported by NHS, benefit system, social workers, etc. It’s getting a tough world out here and grossly unjust as far as many concerned who flogged their guts, paid their dues and get b **** r all but abject poverty back cos we too worn out to fite. Lily the pink

❑ The Pension age challenge that women have just lost: soon this gov will have us all working till we are 70. For decades wages have fallen, forcing many to work well into their old age, the living wage should be £10ph now, not in 5 years time and rising to keep in line with the cost of living. People could then retire at 55 on a pension, instead many are now being flogged to death in low income jobs just to make ends meet. Red fred

❑ HOGWART don’t care if u want 2 stuff yrself with fatty meat. Each 2 their own but wish meat eaters would stop thinking we veggies eat lettuce leaves etc. I cook varied meals which my meat eating partner eats as have builders who worked 4 me. GINNY P

❑ As a lifelong vegan I agree that red meat gives you health probs. Only cavemen eat meat. carpark jeff lfc
