"There is a special place in hell for people who abuse animals, said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer in a statement. This was not an act of rage. This was a clear plan to kill a defenseless animal, and when he executed his plan, he drove off, leaving the animal's body in the alley for someone else to discover the horror of what he had done."
"Surveillance footage around 7:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 showed the man getting out of the driver's door of a Ford Expedition in the 600 block of Brookhurst Street in Anaheim while holding a white rope, according to the District Attorney's Office. He then looped one end of the rope to a yellow parking bollard and the other to the Ford's tow hitch ball before taking a small white dog in a milk crate out of the SUV, the District Attorney's Office said."
"Footage showed the man loop the center of the rope around the dog's neck, get back into the Ford and accelerate forward until the rope tightened enough to break the animals neck, prosecutors said. He got out of the SUV to look at the dog before driving away, leaving the dead dog, believed to be a 6-year-old Maltese, in the alley, according to prosecutors."
A 58-year-old Buena Park man faces felony animal cruelty charges after allegedly killing a pregnant dog by looping a rope around its neck and attaching it to an SUV. Surveillance reportedly shows him removing a small white dog from a milk crate, securing the rope to a bollard and the vehicle, then accelerating until the animal's neck snapped. The dog, believed to be a 6-year-old Maltese, suffered a severed spine and arteries and was left in an alley. A nearby business manager found the body and called police, who arrested the man and found baggies of methamphetamine; prosecutors also charged him with possession with prior convictions and violating parole. The man was on probation after a prior assault on a coworker with a metal pipe.
