Teenagers Throw Dog Off Of Bridge!

[TheKingDavis]

Officials say a teenage boy is facing charges after throwing a dog off a bridge on Highway 119. They say it happened Tuesday in the Totz community of Harlan County.

Sherry Bush says she was driving on Highway 119 when she saw two boys on the side of the road.

"I looked and seen the dog's legs kicking, and they were up on the rail, and the next thing I know the dog was gone, and they were running," says Bush.

She says by the time she was able to turn around, it was too late.

"They said it's sick. I said that's no reason to throw the dog off the bridge, and one of the boys said we couldn't get in touch with police or take it to a doctor. I said so, you still didn't have to throw it off the bridge ... I'm calling police," says Bush.

Bush says she gave police a description of a pick-up truck she says picked up the two boys. She then was surprised to see that the dog survived.

"You could tell it was hurt and shaking like it was freezing or something, and I felt so sorry for it. I couldn't get down there to get it," says Bush.

"She couldn't stand, sit up, she was limp, seemed to be in a lot of pain," says Harlan County Animal Control officer Duncan Caldwell.

Animal control officials rescued the puppy, which they are naming Totzie, after the Totz bridge she was thrown off. They say she likely has a broken pelvis, and lots of bruises, but she can now standup and walk again. Officials say the cocker spaniel puppy was most likely healthy before the incident. They say if someone had not been driving by at the right time, she probably would have not survived.

"The dog would still be laying there, emaciated, it would've starved to death and died," says Caldwell.

But now Totzie is being treated and expected live. Officials say an orthopedic doctor will be taking a look at her to see what kind of treatment she needs. Totzie will then be taken to The Woodstock Foundation in Lexington where she will be cared for further until she is ready for adoption.

Police say they have identified the boy they believe is responsible for actually dropping the dog off the bridge, but they are not identifying the suspect since he is under 18. They say an arrest will come soon. Officials say they plan to pursue charges to the fullest extent of the law. The teen could face felony animal cruelty charges under the new Romeo Law in Kentucky.

Those interested in Totzie should call Friends of the Shelter at (606) 573-8867. The address is Friends of the Shelter, Box 778, Baxter, Kentucky, 40806.

WHAT THE F*** WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!?!?

[Quick_Sylver]

Pigs.

[Tiberius]

I think someone should throw him off a bridge, maybe one that's a lot higher up too and see if it's a soft landing.

i agree 100%

[Aves]

WHY!?!!? I don't like this kid at all

[XxHaViiK]

These sick, sadistic, little fucks need to be killed... No prison, just put a bullet through their heads, end of story. Poor little animal...

[Hatsune Miku]

Dammit what were they thinking!? I'd like to throw them off a damn bridge. Animal abuse is pathetic. Go pick on someone who can actually speak up and say "Back the fuck off"
This reminds me of Dusty the cat...

[ThatDude93]

grr....I hate animal abusers....they need to be locked up for a long time...and this kid needs to be thrown off a bridge...if he survives...lock him up for a good long while

Michael Vick got it too easyt because he is famous....ugh

[mrmcdonaldduck]

those bastards, how dare they do that?!?!!??

i hope that they get thrown of a bridge by a dog, just to see what its like.

Michael Dick belongs in a place much worse then hell

Wow...interesting to read all these comments...

It appears people think the death penalty (throwing him off a bridge) is acceptable for a dog killer, but when the death penalty gets brought up for a human murderer everyone thinks it's inhumane. DOG KILLERS SHOULD DIE! Murderers are fine though....

ha jared well i think that since there is a separation with animals and people with people if someone dies it doesn't affect you as much since you don't know them but with a animal especially a dog since a majority are dog owners they thin what if it was there companion it would piss you off wouldn't it like with this i felt a connection because my dog is a cocker spaniel so yes i'm pissed at them too

[2D]

Haha there a tons of people who are going to ruin his life. The people from some website are ganging up to take him down. I love to watch them in action: pulling up accounts, details, phone numbers, and anything related to the person and then tearing him down. Epic win. I could care less what he did, it's just funny to watch him get it good.

Pretty much.
Animal abuse is just pathetic. They can't talk, they have no way to speak up. They are more defenseless then humans. If a murderer broke into my house. I would beat the shit out of him with my bat (Im gonna die anyways, might as well try to defend myself) (And I don't think cutting the guys legs off are gonna help me).
A animal can't do that. ( And im talking about the small animals, not bears ect. )

Your logic flow follows that you must stop driving. Because when you drive, or walk for that matter, you run over ants, bugs, and sometimes bigger animals. Following your logic we should all be dead by now. If you are going to take it to that extreme you must treat every animal no matter how small or big equally.

Ants and bugs are insects, not animals
And im talking about purposely abusing. Not harming the animal by accident
If you run over a deer while driving on the highway, that's an accident
If you see a deer on the highway and speed up to purposely hit it, that's abuse

Have you ever heard of Dusty the cat? I can't even explain how many people wanted to do worse things then kill the kid abusing that cat. If it was a human abusing a human, people would care alot less. Why? Like I said, animals are defenseless. What is a cat gonna do if your choking it, slamming it against the wall, throwing it across the room, putting it in the tub and turn on the ice cold water? Nothing

And listen the the cats cries

Insects are animals. Just saying.

People wouldn't care as much if someone abused a kid than an animal because animals are cute and cuddly. People are just people. The only reason babies and toddlers aren't dying in the street is because they are cute. It's their defense. As well as a few animals.

But on another point. We're here to keep them in check. More people are getting killed by mountain lions where I live than ever before because they're not scared of us. They have no fear and see us a food. Helpless? No. But do I think we should just torture them? No. that's just pointless. We're here to take proper care of everything, abuse is wrong, but punishable by death is a big stretch. Humans are far superior to any animal on Earth. Just put they guy in prison for 5-10 and let the inmates serve his punishment.

EDIT: In response to the video.

I would say those people are not quite mentally stable. Just get a psych guy on them and see what fucked up shit they're thinking.

touché
You win

Because they are not defenseless. Only an idiot would try to mess with one of them.
I mean, kick a mountain lion. Your screwed lol. Same thing with bears, tigers ect.

[2D]

People who are hiking aren't provoking them. It's the development that is. Houses spread out in the mountains and other areas. Forcing them to look for other food in different areas, and we don't make it clear that we're not to be messed with. It's a lose lose really.

[theOperaGhost]

I'm not saying I condone animal abuse...I refuse to watch that video because from what you wrote about it, I wouldn't be able to make it through the entire thing. Yes, animal abuse pisses me off and I would probably want to beat the shit out of anyone who would ever abuse my cat. However, murder also makes me sick...anyone who takes a life (with premeditation and deliberation) deserves to be killed.

I simply found it funny that everyone wants this kid dead because he killed a dog, but nobody would have really cared if he had murdered someone...

"he's just a kid...he can be rehabilitated!" That's what people would have said.

Killing an animal is murder, is it not?

[theOperaGhost]

Killing an animal is murder, is it not?

I believe (I don't just believe, I actually know) homicide only refers to humans killing humans, thus killing an animal is technically not murder. However, I said in my statement that anyone who takes a life (with premeditation and deliberation) deserves to be killed.

But then this gets complicated...I support hunting for sport...hmm....it's nearly 4 am so I'll continue this some other time.

[Kahn]

The thing is you are killing a defenseless, innocent little creature that is not like us. It can't defend itself when we have it dangling over a bridge with two people holding it. There is no way it would win. If it was Human vs. Human it would be different. There would be an even chance of survival. Not for the dog though.

Thats why everyone is so pissed off about it.

[-Silence]

That story makes me sick.

I have to disagree...if someone who can easily overpower you is dangling you over a bridge, your odds of survival are rather low. Other factors are of course weapons. It's certainly not an even match if your aggressor is toting a gun and you have nothing. People can be just as defenseless as those innocent little creatures.

[The Batman]

This is suppose to be a discussion of the article not a debate about why animal abusers should get the death penalty so back on topic.

This is a sad story but worse shit happens to animals and "prosecuting at the fullest extent of the law" doesn't do anything send another kid to prison and ruin his life they should send him PETA.

I am not against the death penalty...life in prison is more miserable...but we have to pay for them to live....

[Hatsune Miku]

But you are still taking its life away. Its not murder or homicide. But it is slaughter.

[theOperaGhost]

Slaughter is far from a capital offense. Voluntary manslaughter can be about a 3-11 year prison sentence, depending on jurisdiction.

For whoever said Michael Vick got off too easy...he served over a year and a half...he served 19 months of his 23 month sentence. That is about 82% of his sentence, which is actually quite good...most convicts only serve about 80% of their full sentence. He didn't commit manslaughter, so I feel his sentence was sufficient.

Did you not read my post? Last chance get on topic and stay there or this thread will be closed and other punishments might be dealt.

let me get this right,
if i put a gun to your head and suceessfully pull the trigger and watch your lifeless body hit the floor,
its not considered Murder Its considered Homicide.

Just Out Of Curiosity Just Where Did You Study Law

"The easiest way to describe the differences between murder and homicide is that homicide is the killing of another human being, while murder requires the intent to kill another human being. Homicide can be used to describe any death where another person is at fault, but there are
mitigating circumstances that can influence the charge of homicide. When someone is convicted of murder, however, they are not only convicted of a homicide, but also the malicious intent to kill."

Get your facts straight before you start talking like you know everything.

What, the fuck, are you talking about? Would you like me to explain further or something? Homicide is split up 4 different ways: first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and involuntary manslaughter. So yes, if you put a gun to my head and pulled the trigger, you would likely be convicted of first degree murder, which falls under the category of a homicide. Would you like me to find the definition of homicide from my criminal law book?

And to answer you second question, I did not study law out of a cracker jack box, I studied it at a university (I'd be more specific about which university, but I don't want to give out my exact location).

Do your research before you say I don't know what I'm talking about, because most of the time, I know what I'm talking about. If you don't know what homicide is, get your ignorant ass out of here and don't respond to my posts like you know everything.
