Teenagers Who Cooked Puppy Alive Plead Guilty
Quote: Teenagers Who Cooked Puppy Alive Plead Guilty to Animal Cruelty Friday, January 26, 2007 ATLANTA — Two teenagers accused of duct-taping a puppy's snout and paws and cooking the animal alive in an oven pleaded guilty Friday to animal cruelty and other offenses. Prosecutors said Joshua Moulder, 17, and his brother, Justin, 19, broke into a newly refurbished community center, where they tortured and killed the 3-month-old puppy, damaged computers, broke glass and splattered paint on the walls. The brothers then brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy and threatened to kill them if they reported it, prosecutors said. They will be sentenced next month. |

| Where were their parents? And what kind of SICK people would do that? |
| OMG... I hope they lock them up for life.... who knows what they would do next. |
Maybe they should do the same to them with what they did to another living thing. See how they like it then  |
| How horribel, they are definatley sick young people |
| Sickening! I hope they get severely punished.
For one thing I would make them work in an animal shelter for at least a year!! |

I really don't think working at an animal shelter would make any difference at all as they obviously disregard animals. Statistics say that a lot of serial killers start out torturing animals. Personally, I think they should be locked up for good. I can't imagine them becoming stellar citizens as adults. |

Okay then how about we lock them in a room with some rabid dogs and let them teach them teach these boys about respecting animals. |
| Ugh. Serial killers in the making.
Stuff like that makes me sick to even hear about. It's one of those stories whose only purpose is to disgust because there is no good reason why any sane person is going to benefit from reading it. It's not like it's going to suppress any further puppy killings. |
This is disgusting!! I don't really have anything else to say! I am appalled every time I read about stuff like this. And sad.  |
| That just literally made me sick to my stomach reading that.....
I wish that poor baby didn't suffer long. I would love to know where the parents were too, wizardmerlin - ugghh Michelina~ |

The kids were 17 and 19--At that age parents don't need to be around 24/7. That said, it makes you wonder if the parents had been around and been structured enough when they were younger...but maybe they were, you never know. Some people are just bad, no matter their upbringing. |

Regardless of what ever made these monsters do this, the damage is done. They are sick and evil and obviously prey on innocence. The children that were forced to look at this would only be there next victims at some point and time in life. I am hoping these monsters are killed in prison. Children and dogs are loved in prison and since our justice system system doesn't seem to do any good sometimes the prison system can step in and kill certain people that really deserve it. Regardless of the out come, prison life will at the very least torture them. |
| Update: Boys get 10 years in jail and 10 years probation:
Brothers who baked puppy get 10 years By D.L. BENNETT The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 02/09/07 The brothers who admitted baking a puppy to death in a gas oven have been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years probation. Joshua and Justin Moulder were sentenced Friday afternoon to 10 years for burglary and five years for animal cruelty, but the sentences will be served concurrently, not consecutively. The Moulders, 17 and 19, faced up to 85 years if sentenced to the maximum on all nine charges to which they pleaded guilty to last month. Prosecutors had offered a plea deal that would have meant a minimum of 10 years of jail time for each of the two young men. Defense lawyers balked. Instead, the Moulders pleaded guilty with no plea agreement hoping that Fulton Superior Court Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore would not be so harsh, but they received the same sentence. Thee case has touched a nerve with animal lovers all over the world. Fulton County judicial officials say they've gotten more than 5,000 cards, letters and e-mails from all over the United States as well as numerous other countries. Similarly, two online petitions started after the first trial of the Moulders now have about 25,000 signatures with more coming every day. The petitions boast names from Brazil, the Netherlands, Germany, Israel and Australia. Linda Zotter of Syracuse, N.Y., while enduring cancer treatment, took time out to knock on doors and gather signatures for her own personal petition. "I do believe they should be put away for life," Zotter said. "I would not want them living next to me. I would like to make sure they don't just get a slap on the wrist." The case has had a life of its own on the Internet, with links from numerous animal advocacy sites to news and public interest sites such as the Drudge Report. Mark Lisella of Charleston, S.C., found the story on the Drudge Report. He said he was moved to write District Attorney Paul Howard because the dog's treatment was so horrible. People, he said, have become somewhat desensitized to sensational, grisly murders. But this victim, a tiny puppy, was so purely sympathetic. "I just thought it was really disgusting," Lisella said.
