3 years isn’t enough to set an example for this type of behavior. Young, wild kids need to see real life consequences for their reckless behaviors.
not close to being enough, im all for getting 2nd chances but when you take 2 lives in the manner this happened (burned alive) that deserves at least 10-12 yrs before i even think about 2nd chances

I would hope that the parole board would be above using the dog's death as a criteria for their parole decision.

Dog or not.

Let’s see who wants to die a fiery death with their pet through no fault of their own because some dumb ass thought it was a good idea to speed at something like 160 mph on a city street.

What’s that? No takers?

Thought so.

Be careful with that argument.

Until someone is personally impacted by something like this, they can't grasp the heartbreak and how easily preventable Ruggs idiotic decision was. It wasn't a mistake. It was pure asstardity on Rugg's part. Every decision he made that night was preventable

I have absolutely zero sympathy for him and he can rot as far as Im concerned

I stand by what I said. A pet is more than just an animal and the examples you used are bred to be used as food. The amount of difference between the two is huge. There are pet owners that value their pets above many people. Myself would be included in that category.

Some people can't have children and replace that aspect of their lives with a pet and treat them as their children. The wife and I fall into that category as do some of our friends and we would and have done anything for dogs. We will continue to do so also. We certainly don't deserve the love and loyalty that they stow upon us regardless of the situation

Having said that, again taking emotion out of it, Ruggs was given a sentence and he is serving it. If the system allows an early release, that is then system and not his fault. Being a felon he loses some rights but I don’t think being banned from the NFL is one of them. Of course Roger and the NFL may have their own say on that.

How about children grown up and gone... hello doggo's!

I try to think my after-life into existence and one part is all the dogs I've raised to see them on the other side and it will be glorious! We'll basically live a 50 first dates/ground hogs day together forever.

Point being, two lives were taken

And frankly there are dogs that are probably worth more than some posters around some fan sites. Not saying some of you but I could make a case
