It's rare that I am so frustrated and appalled as to wish violent retribution.   These men, (they decided this is how they wanted to become men) deserve the strongest of reprimands. I would suggest that they be forced to work with animals for months in restitution.  Something, anything to impose upon them the horror of their actions.  Put them on habitat restoration with a strong person to set an example and explain and instill a sense of reverence for nature in them. It is such an opportunity, how pathetic and shameful that this case has been ignored, squandered, and allowed to set this horrible precedent.
