If the abuse was happening for months, why wasn’t anything done about it earlier. This dog’s life may have been spared had someone done something. Whether the neighbors called previously or the police or animal control was out there before, someone should’ve removed this puppy. I feel others are culpable in this dog’s death. What a brutal manner in which to die. This man is one angry person and should never be allowed to have another pet!
Put this bastard away! With our laws, he’ll probably only have to pay a fine. Our laws are too lenient.
What do you need from the public when he admitted it. Jail evil git!,! I would not want him near me rather burn to death!!
Lock him up and throw away the key!
