CA Man Arrested for Cooking Dog and Feeding It to His Ex

I just hate when authorities trump up charges. If the dog was killed humanely it shouldn't be animal cruelty, that or we outlaw meat.

I agree. I think it should fall under destruction of personal property.

However I think in most cases they have a slew of charges and then end up prosecuting for just couple of them.

I don't think that's the point to draw from this, least of all with a straight face. This case isn't a jumping off point for vegetarianism... I'm amazed that you would think it could be.

Barbeque can be especially tasty. Even when you're just out looking for your missing friend at the Whistle Stop Cafe and get offered some of your favorite barbeque. Southern folks shore know how to make ya eat crow; or your best friend when necessary. So, a little woof, woof before a meal, might not be so bad.

How can eating a dog be animal cruelty yet eating a cow is ok?

Killing, cooking and feeding someone's pet to them without them knowing and then taunting them about it afterward doesn't quite seem the same as buying a steak at your local market and cooking it on the bbq.

But if you outlaw meat, only outlaws will have meat.

I'm not sure why posters (Primarily Hail Ming) are attacking me regarding my comments. Its a no brainer what the main point of the article is. I am allowed to bring up tangent points.

Great story from the Old South. The old and new new look:

Women do not push men into doing anything.. I would advise that this is not a good defense for vindictively feeding a pet dog to an ex in the same way it would not be a valid defense if you knocked someone out with a sucker punch and tried to claim the person 'pushed you to do it'. You are responsible for your own actions. No one pushes you to doing 'extreme' stuff, you allow yourself that excuse, if you do. That is rather weak and pathetic behavior.

Bring up whatever you like, but address the fact that a pet lives with the family, is considered part of the family and it really doesn't matter what the pet is. For some people, their favorite pet is a rat, a snake and it could even be a cow. No one would deliberately kill and eat a person's pet and claim that it was the same as eating a commercially raised animal. As to the cruelty in the case, it is possible that the animal did suffer cruelty by the manner of it being killed (I have no idea what way the dog was supposed to have been killed, do you?) rather than the fact that the dog was eaten. However, at the end of the day, your original post seemed to completely miss the point that this was a deliberately cruel and callous action and instead wondered why people get upset about pets and yet don't seem to care about commercially raised animals. Maybe they should, but we certainly should not care less.

The guy killed the woman's dog, fed it to her without her knowledge and taunted her about it afterwards. He is a sick sadist.

Do you honestly think a legal defence in the case is going to be - "well your honour, we dispute the animal cruelty charge because my client followed the correct slaughter legislation to the letter. If you convict him on this them you need to outlaw meat."

It's mad! What sort of response do you think is reasonable here?
