Man Stabs Wife's Beagle to Death

2008_10_beagle.jpgA Bronx man was arrested after killing his wife's dog. The Post reports Bronx resident Brian McCafferty "staggered home at about 4:45 a.m. after spending most of the night drinking with some friends," which wife Jeanine Tulimero was not happy about. The couple --who were married on September 27--got into a fight and Tulimero left. Then, according to the Daily News, McCafferty "shot the dog once with the air rifle and then used a kitchen knife to fatally stab the animal." When Tulimero came back before 6 a.m., a neighbor heard her yell, "Where's my dog! Where's my dog!" McCafferty, who was treated for a cut to his hand, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal mischief, animal cruelty and reckless endangerment. He has been previously arrested for assault (though not an animal).

It's Joseph Petcka all over again. They should share a cell.

Ewww...what the heck did the dog do?

Knowing beagles, he probably chewed the shit out of something important or barked/howled for 12 hrs straight.

In a way, the woman was very lucky, it is sad the her dog was killed, but she would have been next.

no! stop killing animals, you fucks!

Obviously the beagle had more intelligence than the boyfriend and ratted on him, hence the violence.

So much for a long lasting marriage. Good thing they didn't have kids.

Piece of shit. I'd like to pour something down his throat and it ain't booze.

WTF? one day after they showed Charlie Brown halloween no less. Out of all the dogs in the world you stab a cute beagle? heartless.

sounds like she married a real winner

Oh c'mon now! leave the pets alone!
you stagger home drunk and you still have this much hatred that you'll kill a pet?

Another classy husband...

violence towards animals should be punished as harshly as violence towards humans...
These acts should not be considered less if they come from the same sick degenerates! these people are sociopaths!

Anyone who'd do such a cruel thing to an animal would probably do worse to a person...

What's the maximum penalty for this atrocity?

Hurting animals is a sign of psychopathy. She would have been next. Lock him up and sink the key with the subway car that's now a reef.

This guy sounds like one sick puppy.

I would feel a lot different if it were a cat.

UGHHHH

More stories about the husband going crazy and killing someone. Always has to be the wife or pets.

He'll be doing it doggie style on Riker's.
Or much more likely it'll be done to him, over and over.
ROLL OVER AND FETCH THIS, BITCH!

I'd like to crush this guys testicles in a vise.

hi-diddly-dee, it's the single life for me!

Is this beast, Brian not Jerry, legally resident in this country? If the answer is no then I hope he is deported as quickly as if his name were "Benito".................or do the right wingers take a different view of undocumented "blanquitos"

@Tgirl

Right on.
