Another sorry excuse for a human!
Brooklyn Man Throws Mother's Dog from 5th Story Apartment
Urge Brooklyn D.A.'s Office to Press Felony Charges for Dog's Murder
More than a week before dropping his mother's beloved dog Gemini out of
their fifth floor apartment to her death, Alan Decosta told his mother
that he was going to decapitate the friendly 10-year-old pit bull mix.
Decosta, 35, had been living in his mother's Crown Heights, N.Y.
apartment since his wife left him over three years ago.
His 52-year-old mother, Sonia Reyes, says that after moving in, he spent
most of his time smoking marijuana and beat her on numerous occasions.
On the morning of Wednesday, November 9th, jealous of his mother's love
for Gemini, he bashed his mother on the head and back with a vacuum
cleaner, then threw the 40-pound dog from the window of their fifth
floor apartment. Mrs. Reyes rushed downstairs, and Gemini died in the
street, cradled in the arms of her loving guardian.
After Gemini's death, Mrs. Reyes said of her son, "I wish they lock him
up and throw away the key." Police arrested Decosta and charged him with
assaulting his mother.
In addition, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (ASPCA) is expected to bring animal cruelty charges against him
for Gemini's death.
Urge the Brooklyn District Attorney's office to charge Decosta with
aggravated cruelty to animals, which is a felony under New York State
law and carries a penalty of up to two years in prison.
Animal advocates must let the D.A.'s office know that Decosta deserves
to be punished to the full extent of the law for the premeditated and
sadistic manner in which he took the life of a gentle and innocent
animal.
You can contact the D.A.'s office by phone, fax, email or postal mail.
