RSPCA unhappy with goat killing sentence The RSCPA says it would have liked a much tougher sentence imposed on a Bowen teenager for killing two pregnant goats. Lyall Geesu, 18, was given a four-month suspended jail term and placed on a strict intensive correction order, after admitting to the senseless slaughter of two goats. The court heard the teenager twisted the neck of one goat and kicked the other in the head. Michael Beatty from the RSPCA says the legal system needs to get tougher on animal cruelty. "I mean we have the highest penalties available in Australia," he said. "We've just got to try and persuade the magistrates to make use of the penalties they have available." Mr Beatty says it is difficult to understand why a young man would be so callous. "What on earth possesses someone to say 'I'm just going out to slaughter these animals'," he said.
