Beating him until he loses consciousness immediately comes to mind, the punishment fits the crime, but constitutes cruel and unusual punishment by western standards. I'd look into his history. Is this the first time he's abused an animal? Given the severity of the abuse, I'd guess it isn't his first time. Animal abuse often leads to abusing humans and sometimes even to murder. This guy could well be a threat to society and such behavior is not easily changed. He needs help, that is a given, but he must also pay for his crime. Unfortunately, prisons are often just universities for learning the art of crime. So, what to do?
