... and what about people who have never meditated, should they abuse and kill animals and use "not meditating" as an excuse? That is not an excuse. And it's not an "incident", that word makes it sound something tiny and non-important.
Pets (cats and dogs) are like children. Like 3 year olds. They know some things, they have some intelligence, and they definitely make mistakes. But they should never be beaten, this does not teach them anything!
This type of downplaying sounds sociopathic. Also, I’m not the biggest believer in redemption like how priests pray away their child abuse and repeat. A person should ever let it be as simple as “raise energy send to dog now I’m good”
Not okay in any regard. This isn’t the place for this person, some real long term work is needed and it probably won’t be easy. I wish this guy could get the boot. We’re not Christians.
Should he be cursed forever now for what he did?
Redemption isn’t blind forgiving, redemption is a chance to realize your mistakes and correct them. If this person tomorrow builds a shelter and saves thousands of dogs, is that enough to make up for this what he did? In my opinion, yes, that would make things even. Much more than that.
In the future, we are going to have to deal with the reality of fixing ALL of humanity, including people who have done much worse than killing an animal. Making it even harder, people who do fucked up things often need the most help themselves, so overall it is just depressing.
There is nothing other that can be done save for the person to be forced to advance and then redeem themselves for their mistake, even if this takes a decade or whatever. In the future, this can include limiting someone's freedoms to prevent further damage, as well as punitive actions, but they also need a chance to fix their mistake as well.
So, if someone within society fucks up badly, proving they are not competently managing their own life, then they should be removed and put into a specialized camp that will ensure they advance and redeem themselves. After this, they can be released.

In this case, the guy said he wasn't meditating, and he killed his dog. So he should be forced onto a meditation routine, as well as made to do labor in regards to helping dogs, such as cleaning kennels or something.
Otherwise, if we are to simply push this guy away and be done with it, then the problem still remains within their karma and the karma of the animal. Unless we are willing to actually soul death, someone, over this, then everything else is simply burying the problem for later.
As far as the pragmatics of all this, I don't believe it would be impossible for these rehabilitation camps to become self-sustaining, keeping in mind that we would have not just "normal" NatSoc leadership, but advanced SS leaders who can organize such matters with ease. Therefore, it shouldn't break the bank of a country either.
