Man Stabs Wife's Beagle to Death

A 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).

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"

He'll be doing it doggie style on Riker's.

This guy sounds like one sick puppy.

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.

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?

Elm Street

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!

Dirk

Another classy husband...

JacqueMehoff

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.

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

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.
