A district court in Louisiana has sentenced two men who slit a dog’s throat for Snapchat views.
Steven Sadler and Boots Stanley won’t get jail time for slaying a dog on video.
Instead, each men will be under probation for three years and required to do community service for 480 hours.
They were also asked to pay a fine of $5,000 for the crime against the dog.
Sadler and Stanley admitted to the crime of aggravated animal cruelty during the arraignment last April 2018.
The District Attorney’s office sought for a severe punishment given the inhumane way they treated the animal.
The men were initially facing a 10-year time in prison on top of a $25,000 fine.
However, Judge Carl Sharp stated that he based the sentence on the code of criminal procedure and the evidence shown.
In 2016, Stanley was taking a video of Sadler slitting the throat of a Pit Bull.
