Ok...here's what the page says..

Case Report

A 41-year-old man fatally kicked and choked his golden Labrador puppy while his 6-year-old son begged him to stop, police said.

Tracy Thomas Culley, an independent construction contractor, was arrested March 6, 2003 on charges of cruelty to animals and child abuse, according to a Fort Pierce police report.

Culley grew angry after he got home from work Feb. 21 and learned the dog chewed a small hole in the garden hose, the report said. He took the dog's kennel into the backyard and attempted to lure it from hiding, the report said. After finding the puppy, Culley kicked it and began striking it with the hose.

"He then took the garden hose, doubled it, and placed it into the dog's mouth and began choking the dog with the hose," according to the report.

Culley's son pleaded with his father to stop, but he dropped the dog and kicked it again, according to the report.

The dog attempted to get up but couldn't. It died a short time later. Police came when Culley's wife called 911.

Fort Pierce Detective Fred Pate said investigators waited to make an arrest until a necropsy was completed. "The signs point to some type of hemorrhaging," he said.

Culley was released from the St. Lucie County Jail on Thursday on $5,000 bond.

The poor little puppy!!!
That reminds me of a sad story.
My neighbours got their first puppy... he was just old enough to be away from his mommy. The puppy pooped & peed on the kitchen floor the second day they had it... the father noticed it & I never saw the puppy again... I was told he returned, but with him being abusive to begin with, I bet anything he killed it... but I had no proof... then a few years later they got a house trained puppy, which was very friendly when they first got her & then she turned horribly mean... I couldn't go in my backyard with our her snarling & snapping at me through the fence... & it seemed every time I went outside they would put her outside... once a friend & I were pulling trees frim beside the shed (the fence ran along the shed) & out of no where the dog stuch its head through the fence & almost bit me... I was pinned right against the shed... I had to choice but to hit the dog in the face with the trees I had pulled out, then my next challenge was getting the dog off my friends shirt... I didn't want to hurt the dog, but I was left with no choice, I hit the dog hard with the tree several times until she finally let go... then we had to try to run to the end of the shed & then run past the garage... The poor dog stoped us several times & time after time I had to hit her... I still feel bad to hitting her, but I try to think to myself that it was either hit her & run or stay there & get bitten...

Is what I did considered Animal Abuse?

there is no way that that was abuse. abuse is A CHOICE to use power against the less powerful. you were attacked by an animal(that was likely abused) and defended yourselves. you did nothing wrong.
that man, waste of skin, who killed his puppy is an abuser, first of the animal, then his son, then his family. animal abuse is very often associated with abuse of the humans in the home. i truly hope the kid gets alot of therapy, this is a family tradition that doesn't need to be passed on

This is one of the saddest things I have read in a long time. I can't imagine that little boy watching his puppy being killed by, of all people, his dad! I certainly hope this man's wife takes this as a wake-up call about the mental stability of her spouse. I hope she packs her bags and takes her son and leaves this sicko ASAP!

Petition Signed...and comments made!!!!with my real name...
That is about 3 miles from my house!!!!!!
Makes me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lizbud]

I signed the petition even though I'm not from Florida.I think
the number of signers would count just as much in trying to
influence the justification for harsh treatment of animal abusers
wherever they are.

[delidog]

Lizbud,
