PHUKET: -- A puppy that had its two front legs hacked off earlier in May has been fitted with new prosthetic legs, the Phuket-based charity Soi Dog Foundation announced on Sunday. 

Theprachen Srisoda, 36, reportedly hacked off the puppy’s front legs with a sword because it had chewed one of his shoes left outside his house. Public outcry and a 96,000-signatories petition organized by the Soi Dog Foundation saw Theprachen sentenced to one month’s detention by a court under the new Animal Welfare Law.

Thailand’s new animal welfare laws have only recently criminalized animal cruelty. The maximum penalty under the law is a two-year custodial prison sentence and a 40,000 baht fine. 

After the attack, the puppy, named Cola, underwent treatment at a Bangkok clinic.

Then this POS should have been given the full two years. Beyond words how someone could hack the legs off of a puppy, or any other creature. An eye for an eye springs to my mind. Despicable.
