Sen. Angela Hill, who has been instrumental in updating animal protection legislation in Mississippi, introduced Buddy’s Law (SB 2261) in response to this horrific case. Buddy’s abuser could not be prosecuted because Mississippi law prohibits the prosecution of youth offenders under the age of 13.
However, further issues with this case highlight the need for more avenues to deal with violent youth offenders.
The youth in this case was already previously involved in the fatal shooting of his stepsister before torturing Buddy, and just months after he turned 13, he was charged with capital murder for fatally burning another youth who had befriended him.

Deadly encounters with cars pose a serious threat to the continued survival of the regal cat in that region, as well as dozens of other animals across the globe, according to a new study of how the world’s fast-growing web of roads affects thousands of species.
The research sheds light on the magnitude of the roadside carnage and how an individual species’ biology can intersect with traffic deaths to endanger its future survival. Scientists hope it could also help alert road builders and government agencies to potential problem spots amid a construction spree that could add millions more kilometers of pavementby 2050.
