Vile man who beat six little penguins to death on a beach will NOT be jailed in spite of media fury
20-year-old Joshua Jeffrey from Tasmania was convicted of animal cruelty in June this year for an incident that took place in January 2016
A young man who beat up six small penguins to death on a beach recently had his sentence increased after the original sentence was appealed. 20-year-old Joshua Jeffrey from Tasmania was convicted of animal cruelty in June this year for an incident that took place in January 2016 in which he viciously beat up six little penguins to death on a beach at Sulphur Creek, Tasmania.
Animal welfare groups in the country were shocked when he was originally sentenced to a mere 49 hours of community service. The sentence was then appealed by the Director of Public Prosecution with the reason being that it did not "reflect community anger and changed attitudes to animal welfare."
