Des Hague was the CEO of U.S. catering company Centerplate when video surfaced that appeared to show him kicking a small, cowering dog, five times, and swinging it up from the ground by its leash. The incident has already caused Hague "enormous collateral consequences," said Judge Frances Howard in her sentencing.[/quote]

$5000 might be little for a CEO like him but most of those acts usually get smaller fines or just get ignored. I'm glad his company got fucked thought. I just hope they end kicking him and they resurface economically, all those catering workers don't need to lose their jobs because their shitboss abused a poor dog.

What things run through these people's minds that cause them to do obscene acts such as this? You've got to be a grade-A cunt or just crazy to hurt an animal or a human being out of pure hatred. This guy deserves whatever he has coming for him.

You say "only" but this seems like it could be the punishment for a normal person, so in that light justice has been served. That said, even for a normal person the punishment seems a little light, should probably be 6 years or more.

He got fined more then 5K, just not by the courts [quote]Hague pleaded guilty to animal cruelty in February. He also resigned from Centerplate and was ordered by the company to donate $100,000 US to animal welfare following the public furor over the August 2014 incident.[/quote] Which is damn good punishment. And useful too

I understand they are a bad person but if you took a random CEOs picture and posted it and just said "this guy looks like a cunt nugget" it would be kinda weird
