ATLANTA - Two teenage brothers each were sentenced to 10 years in prison for torturing a puppy by cooking it in an oven.

Joshua Moulder, 17, and Justin, 19, pleaded guilty in January to charges including burglary, criminal damage to property, terroristic threats and cruelty to children.

The brothers brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy, then threatened to kill them if they reported it, prosecutors said.

Police said they found the dead mixed-breed puppy inside an oven at an apartment community center Aug. 21. Scratch marks were found inside the oven, indicating the puppy had been alive when it was placed inside, prosecutors said.

A necropsy on the 3-month-old dog found its paws and snout had been duct taped and it had been doused with paint before being placed in the oven, prosecutors said.

Authorities also found damaged computers, broken glass and splattered paint on the walls of the newly refurbished community center.

The brothers' first trial ended in a mistrial in December. Their attorney, Timothy Owens, said he had hoped his clients' sentencing would have focused more on rehabilitation than incarceration.

What really annoys me is they'll be out again in 2017.....

There are no words that I can come up with to express my feelings.

This makes me realise how evil people can be...No evil is too ncie of a word. How Inhuman and demonic people can be, No human can sit there and laugh and watch a Puppy die like that.

I hope they get much counseling, although I'm not sure you can cure a sociopath.

I really don't know what to do with people like this guy...death seems like an easy way out, but then life again seems like the most precious thing you can have.... It's a paradox to me.

Life in jail. Thats what I think. but they only got 10 years

10 years is too easy. It's not as if they did not know what was right or wrong because they had threatened the children to not tell. Life in jail, maybe not, but perhaps even another 5-10 years would have taught them a lesson.

You can't counsel those who would kill a live puppy.

That wasn't killing. it was torture. But yes people liek that its hard to make them normal again.

Kill or torture... doesn't change the fact that they did something horrible.
