God I despise chihuahuas. Worst invention ever. I would enjoy punting one like a football far more than biting off its head, though.
7 years imprisonment for animal abuse is intense! Is Puerto Rico on the relatively extreme side for sentencing compared to the United States, or are they just super into animal protection? No US states would inflict that kind of sentence for killing a dog.
We don't get a lot of Puerto Rico stories here so I'm not sure what's typical for them.

I agree. But aren't they kind of part of the U.S.? I still don't understand the territory thing.

They are a part of the US, but since they aren't a state they don't have to adhere to many of the rules that states must follow and they also don't receive the same support (I believe they don't get welfare or SSI, but could be wrong). They can't vote in federal elections and don't pay federal taxes since Congress has no role in how they function, so we also don't tend to help them out to the same extent as our states. I'm not sure what support we do give them and what role the president has (does anyone here know before I have to Google the shit out of this?).
Basically, they govern and take care of themselves completely but are part of the US. It's mostly an identity thing where they want to be "Puerto Ricans" instead of "Americans" and applying for statehood diminishes some of that pride for many people. I'm not sure what most citizens feel about the legal aspects or what changes statehood would enact, but financially it would probably be very beneficial for them to apply for statehood since Puerto Rico isn't exactly known for a booming economy and safe streets in comparison to the continental US. I know applying for statehood has been a topic of debate recently but I'm not sure what came of it.
Does anyone else know about this? I'm sure SOMEONE has a better grasp here, help me out!

I just saw direct flights from Phila to Puerto Rico for $59! That's probably why.

Takes a lot of anger to bite off even a little puppy head. I don't like chihuahuas either, but I think it's what the owner turns the dog into more than the dog itself. Many people who get little drop kick dogs don't know how to train them, and turn the dog into yippy yappy bitey trash.

He was also done for domestic abuse. This was not all for the puppy. Not that one expects to see domestic abuse punished all that hard in a macho society either, though.
