It's impossible for me to express my anger at this brutish inhumane act. What is the thought process in their demented twisted minds? This sickens me.
Man charged with fatally kicking dog like a football.

A man was arrested on charges of killing his neighbor's 17-year-old dog by place-kicking it like a football.


Chad Daniel Crawford, 23, was charged with cruelty to animals and vandalism Tuesday in the death of Gizmo, a 2-pound miniature Yorkshire terrier. Crawford was freed on $25,000 bail.


Jalani Lewis said he was in his apartment complex when he saw one of three men holding the dog like a football and then saw Crawford kick the animal.


Lewis said the dog flew through the air in a high arc, hit the pavement and rolled under a parked car. The dog was apparently dead when it hit the ground and the men were laughing, Lewis said.


Crawford said the accusations were false but declined further comment.

I'm with you on this one, libraone. This disgusts me. The police should watch this young man closely. I've read that serial killers begin their carreers with cruelty to animals.

I used to have a Yorkie who died of old age. This was very painful for me for a year, and even today I can cry about it if I think of it. I can't imagine losing a dear and trusted friend in such a horribly cruel way.

>"serial killers begin their carreers with cruelty to animals."<


Exactly my thoughts when I read this.


Just had my old dog put to sleep Feb. 28th. The 5th of this month
