In the San Diego paper today is reported that a Carlsbad man accused of slamming a puppy to the floor and breaking one of it's elbows is now in jail charged with felony animal abuse and will remain there unless he comes up with a $50,000 bond.
Apparently he became "upset" when the 3 month old puppy relieved itself on his apartment's floor. He grabbed it and threw it to the floor. The puppy is going to be okay though and was treated for the broken bone. He is looking at 3 years in jail and I hope he gets it. Can you believe it? A 3 month old puppy has an accident and this guy flys off the handle?
The more of these jerks that have to pay the penalty for their actions, the more (I'm hoping) will think twice (at least) before taking their anger out on defenseless animals.

Glad to see such a hi bond, thats good! Unless this idiot has a record, I don't hold much hope in him getting 3 years... but hopefully the judge will set an example for anybody else and give this clown the full sentence.

Case Report
A man suspected of hurling his puppy to the floor, breaking its leg, then battering his girlfriend was arrested on Feb 18 at his Kremeyer Circle home, police said. The 23-year-old woman escaped the house with the injured puppy on the evening of Feb 17 and called Carlsbad police.
She said her 24-year-old boyfriend had become upset with his 3-month-old puppy, raised it over his head and threw it to the floor. The dog's left front leg was broken, police Lt. Howard Carpenter said.
He said the couple began arguing over the incident, and that the man beat the woman. When she tried to leave the house, the man went after her until a neighbor intervened and helped her get away, with the puppy.
The dog was taken by animal-control officers for medical treatment. When police went to the house about 8:50 p.m. Thursday, the man was gone. They went back about 11:35 a.m. yesterday and arrested him on suspicion of animal cruelty and domestic battery, Carpenter said.

It's true - if someone is capable of hurting an animal, that someone is capable of hurting another human. It just blows my mind. How can you treat an innocent little thing the way he did. I am sure he did'nt took the puppy outside or even start training the poor baby. I do hope he get what he deserve!!!!

They should beat him and break his elbow, see how he likes it...Opps! I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying that.

Me either... ;)
I can't tell you what I want to do to people who do this sort of thing. I hope he never gets the puppy back? I hope the girlfriend doesn't go back to him and take the puppy with her :(

Oh my gosh. If the girlfriend goes back to him, then she is absolutely crazy! Since the penalties for animal cruelty, to me are not tough enough, then he'll get out of it. There should be laws in each state that would ban a person convicted of animal cruelty of ever owning, having contact or being in any occupation involving animals. There should also be a list available to the public like they do the child molesters.

I know this girl who lives with her boyfriend. Before they moved in together she was good with dogs. Now he has her absolutly convinced that she must 'put their dog in his place' whenever he does something that is 'bad'.
She used to be a wonderful person who loved animals, and was kind to them. I believe that the entire relationship with her boyfriend is toxic, and abusive. (He has been violent towards her before.) I also believe that if there is some way that I can make her realize that the treatment of 'their' dog is ABUSE, and not discipline, then she will see that she is being abused as well.
There must be something that I can do for them both. It is so sad to hear her repeating what he says: "Dogs need to be shown who the pack leader is." "If you let them get away with anything you're weak!"
I cried when she told me that the dog had a bathroom accident on the floor, and the boyfriend gave 'the dog beating that he needed'. She just cannot see how bad this is, and I'm afraid it will take the dog's death to make her realize how sadistic he really is.
Whenever I mention that she should be concerned for her dog she tenses up, and I can see in her eyes that she is totally terrified that if the abuse (to the dog) is reported that she will take the next beating.
I am so afraid for her life. This man just keeps on getting worse, and worse. Someday they both may pay with their lives, and I feel helpless to prevent it. It's like seeing a house burning down with people screaming for help, but you are tied to a tree in their front lawn.
I just don't know how I can save them both? Does anybody know of a way?

kali,
This is definitely not my area of expertise but common sense tells me there is more than likely a hotline that you can call and get some experienced advise from. Ultimately it is up to your girlfriend to leave. All you can do is give her love and support and much needed advise. This is so sad.

Why does she stay with him? I'd take the dog & leave. What does she say when you talk to her about her situation? Is she in denial?

When I talk to her about how the boyfriend treats both of them she makes excuses. With her situation it usually is: "He just got angry because I did something wrong." And variations of: "He didn't mean it," and "He is so sorry."
*Sigh* Nothing that we haven't heard before from an abuser.
With her dog it is: "He says that he needs to be punished, when he [the dog] is being a bad dog." If I press her on this point she always replies: "He says dogs need to know who their master is, and if you don't beat them they'll never learn." I cried over this one.
She loves that dog, but she is so afraid of him, and what he will do to her if she tries to 'defy' him, and his rules for the dog. It makes me so sad, and angry, but everyway that I have tried to make her see the relationship for what it truly is has failed.
I tried making her realize that someday her dog will be killed by him. She is afraid of that, but she always makes up excuses. "He loves our dog."
"He wouldn't ever hurt him!" I snapped at that one, and said: "A beating doesn't hurt him then?" She refused to see me or talk to me for days, and I thought at first it was because she was angry, but when I did see her she was covered in bruises. That lead me to believe that she tried to defend her dog, and got his beating instead.
Why do the abusers always start out on animals? And then move on to people?

Because our laws are so lax in protecting them and the sickos find them as easy prey. :mad:
