WAUPACA -- Several tips and reward offers that topped $12,000 helped authorities find the three Weyauwega men they say are responsible for the thrill killing of five deer on a snowmobile trail last weekend.

The first of the men, Nicholas D. Hermes, 22, of Weyauwega, was charged Thursday with five counts of animal cruelty, and two brothers, Robby Kuenzi, 23, and Rory Kuenzi, 24, both of Weyauwega, are scheduled to appear in court today on similar charges.

Rory Kuenzi also faces a felony theft charge after telling people the snowmobile he was riding that night was "borrowed." Police say it was reported stolen Dec. 26 from outside a Manawa bowling alley.

The three snowmobilers encountered the deer in a field about five miles south of Waupaca. Hermes said he accidentally struck a deer, but the Kuenzi brothers began purposely chasing the deer down before running them over.

Here are pictures of the asshats responsible:

5. I'd like to say they look real good in orange, the color suits them well

I hope they get use to it.

6. the maximum penalty is only 3 1/2 years

but maybe that means 3 1/2 years for each count.

If the judge and DA info is published, please post. Letters to them encouraging maximum penalty can make a difference. It helps to cite studies that show that child abusers and serial killers often start with animals and "move up."

9. those who kill for "fun" are sorry-ass shitheads who should be banished from society

--ignorant turds who need to be flushed.

[Raskolnik]

11. These people didn't kill for fun, they tortured for fun.

I don't know if you consider that a meaningful difference, but I do.

12. One should only kill an animal in these circumstances...

1. One intends to eat said animal.
2. Said animal is posing a clear and present danger to one's self or others.
3. Said animal is in sufficient pain to warrant euthanization.
4. When killing said animal, one should do so in a manner that brings death quickly.

[Raskolnik]

13. I don't disagree, but I do think killing an animal and torturing an animal present different issues.

[TheMightyFavog]

15. Same here.

I'm all for hunting, used to do it myself until I got tired of freezing my ass off in the woods all day.

However what these asshats did is just plain cruel, particularly when they tied the deer to the tree.

16. yes, actually, you're right--that does make it even worse (nt)
