SHELBY, NC (AP) -- A Cleveland County man is facing animal cruelty charges after police say he tried to bury his dog alive.
The Shelby Star reports that 38-year-old Sean Davis of Kings Mountain was arrested Monday by sheriff's deputies.
County Animal Control Supervisor Tripp Bowling says Davis had become convinced his dog had been poisoned.
Bowling says the man buried the German shepherd mix's head in a shallow hole and packed its nose and mouth with dirt.
Animal control officers took the dog to a veterinarian, but it had to be euthanized. Bowling says the animal was too dehydrated to test whether it had been poisoned.
Davis is being held in the Cleveland County jail on a $10,000 bond. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.
An eye for an eye. animals
An eye for an eye. animals cant speak for themselves and its your job as the educated human race to speak and care for them.
Here's hoping that the dog...
...was actually rabid, bit this guy, and it isn't discovered until it's too late.
What a P.O.S.!
Wow
Animal cruelty is very terrible but calm down...people act worst over animals than humans these days
that is because animals are
that is because animals are more deserving that most humans these days.
This guy needs a jail cell
This guy needs a jail cell for about 10 years more than he needs a lawyer.
Someone should do the same
Someone should do the same to him. That poor dog did not deserve to have that traumatic of a death.
What is Wrong With People
If he didn't have the money to take the dog to the vets in the first place he probably should have never had an animal especially if he thought the dog had been poisioned!!! People never cease to amaze me...My dogs get better treatment than I give myself!!!!!! Just sayin
We know
We know you are just sayin' because you took the time to post.
