Someone who beats a dog is much more likely to beat (or do worse things) to a human-- so regardless of your views on the importance of dogs, animal abuse should be taken very seriously.

Yes, your hard earned tax dollars are used to feed and clothe that ape...

So, does this piece of shit get to continue living in PUBLICLY-FUNDED housing? It must be nice to live a life without consequence, which seems to be a running theme in NYCHA properties.

actually it is just a dog.

type away with your clickivism.

put an ASPA sticker on your door.

feign your outrage, smash your fist on the desks.

call the judge, write to the newspaper, post a comment on gothamist, in the grand scheme of things, its just a dog and you can fantasize about what wonderful human beings you all are but in the end its just a dog and none of you are doing crappola to save dogs, women in sudan, kids in haiti, whales, seals, circus animals, cure cancer, end homelessness, etc etc except banging your keyboard and feeling fuzzy about it.

so blog, tweet and join a facebook group, go to sleep tonight saying yeah i love animals and to prove it i wrote a world changing message on gothamist about it.

hahha, suckers. its just a dog.

And i am sure your fucking bytch friend who kicked the poor dog really cares about the women in sudan. fucking asshole

hey ignorant asshole, why don't you help those women in sudan. Don't scapegoats dogs who don't no harm no nonone and are victim of the same mentality and exploitation by others. YOu are a piece of shit, real shit to hate dogs and scapegoat them for all the ills caused by humans as you. if you care so much fuckhead then do something good instead of hating animals and those who are against animal cruelty. fucking trash asshole

You have an amazing talent in putting your thoughts out in such an eloquent way.

Just a Dog

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

...

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.

Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."

So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile, because they "just don't understand."

+1 very eloquent

We already know your only friends are animals...you don't need to remind us.

But it is just a dog.

I hope she is fired and kicked out of her projects.

Dog has possible liver damage because of the beating. This judge and asshole potsmoker should be locked in a cell with this bythch. I hope thet fire her and kick get out of the projects.

really stupid, if she went to the vet and asked for euthanasia on demand, the bet would charge her a fee and kill the dog no questions asked in the name of $$$.

you fools beleive that this woman committed some heinous crime, but even if she went to the pound and did an owner surrender, they'd take the dog again no questions asked and probably euthanize it within 7 days.

they charged her with a felony, used a grand jury, wasted courts time and ended up pleading to a violation which is equal to a parking ticket.

all you fools can claim that she should get the max etc etc but if they corrupt criminal justice system charges everyone who smacked their cat or kicked a dog the entire system would collapse and youd end up having tons of real criminal cases being thrown out because theres not enough jurors or time to try and convict real criminals in a speedy trial...suckers

Euthanasia is HUMANE. The vets don't beat an animal to death.

This woman was intentionally cruel. I think she should serve jail time and NEVER be allowed to be near any animal ever again. Unless said "animal" are rats gnawing at her face while she sleeps in a cold and dark prison cell.

Shut up, stoner asshole. Maybe someone bigger and stronger than you will one day randomly decide to beat you in an elevator, then think about what is or isn't a crime. Idiot.

If it was a child it would be a crime, right? I'm not saying a grand jury was necessary, i'm just saying she's f'ing b!tch, and i pray her name find it's way to some black list of people who should NEVER be allowed to own pets. Completely unnecessary cruelty. If you can watch a video like that and know that she beat the dog into unconsciousness and thinks she deserves no punishment, well then, i hope you too never have a pet.

somebody should kick that judge in the liver

F*CKING B!TCH. I pray one day, you find a nice man, who treats you just as good.

Then he wouldn't be such a nice man.
