The sliimy bastard had it coming.

If he's beyond redemption as a child, he's almost certainly beyond redemption for the rest of his life. The story portrayed him as an out-and-out monster, and his death I feel was well deserved. It wasn't just that he killed a dog, as I put it like this; he viciously killed Lucy/Kaede's only friend while forcing her to watch to get a reaction out of her, simultaneously mentally breaking Kaede, committing an act of murder/animal cruelty that, for how it's portrayed and for the reasons done is much worse than what it would normally be, and polevaulting himself across the Moral Event Horizon and cementing himself as the excuse Lucy had. His actions are small-scale, but again, due to just how depraved the scene is (and a lack of resources and power on his side, as well, as he is still just a child) he stands out. I'm glad Lucy's Vectors took care of him so messily, even if you don't share the sentiment.

Besides, if you're upset on his death scene, while his death was gruesome, it was instantaneous, meaning he didn't suffer like Kaede or the puppy did.
