A heartless Long Island man who locked his innocent pooch in a dark closet with no food or water - leaving it to starve to death while he vacationed at Disney World - is getting a cell of his own.

A Riverhead judge on Monday gave Jason Griffin, 27, a year behind bars for killing his 4-year-old pit bull-Labrador mix, Candy.

"I'm not a bad person, but I know I allowed a terrible thing to happen," Griffin said as he read from a statement in an emotionless voice. "I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Candy had been starved for weeks, prosecutors said, by the time Griffin's landlord found her carcass in a closet of the tenant's Northport basement apartment. Griffin was arrested Jan. 31 as he arrived home with his 7-year-old daughter.

He should suffer the same fate as that poor dog, but he should be beaten mercilessly first because of the example he left for his little daughter. I hope they rape the Hell out of him in jail.

Maybe they should lock him in a solitary cell somewhere where they can't hear him scream, and simply walk away. Shut off the toilet so he has no water and come back for him at the end of the year. Sick f*ck.

Anyone who neglets a pet like that and locks him up in a dark closet with no food and water IS a bad person. Period.

He should rot in jail and have his daughter taken away. :grrr: With a cruel mind like that, I seriously doubt that he could be a good parent to his child.

He will remember that everyday in he is in prison, when the other inmates find out what he is in for. He will defianrly find out what inhumane treatment really means.

I think he'll get more than just a jail term for it. I don't think animal abusers are much respected there.

I doubt he treated the dog well anyway, he looks mean, and prob abused it a lot.

I believe an eye for an eye is good in cases like this.
