I hope he gets the max sentence!!!! What a horrible human!
What a dirt bag! Hope he gets what he deserves inside and outside of prison, harming an animal and his on top of it, scummy asshole!
Did he have hip desplaisa. Not the dog but the owner. A buck for ammunition vs 350 for the vet to do euthania.
Where is the who what why where when in this story? Why do we never have that info?
i am 100 % all for punishing those who harm animals however before people jump to assuming they know the entire story, make sure you know all the details before blasting someone like that.
This man i know personally and ill tell you right now that this man loved his dog more than anyone knows and he is already getting his karma because that dog meant everything to him.
That said make sure people you know all the info and not just pieces here and there. Rather than make assumptions maybe finding out the facts and info would be more productive
