Landlord charged with animal cruelty.

I hope this news story will encourage members of the public who can to donate to help out.

And that "landlord" should pay the bulk of the vet treatment. I hope she loses her position and is put away! God...what would she do to any living thing, human or otherwise, if she 'doesn't know why she did this'.

What happens the next time she doesn't like something ... like a child or an elderly person?

If I was in charge of the world, she would get a one-way trip to the electric chair.

That these poor people would even have to think about paying rent? OMG. They ought to live there rent-free until the value equals their vet bills, plus a tidy sum for pain and suffering. Of course, who would want to live there anymore? I'd move and sue.

Actually, my friends mom contacted the paper and wanted to make a donation. I wish I could, but I have too many bills right now.

It really broke my heart even more when I saw his name is Taz. Poor baby. I want to go beat that lady with a tree branch really bad. And then put her in a plastic bag in my trunk for several hours, heck maybe even days!

Wow the electric chair is to good for that scum.

They should sue the woman for not only the vet bill but for a move and deposits on another apartment. She wouldn't get another penny out of me. That poor sweet dog. He must have been so frightened while she beat him and I don't see how he'll ever trust again. He's probably going to be afraid of everything for the rest of his life.

Donna, I agree - but the perp is the landLADY.

I tried to find an update on this yesterday. The only thing I could find was that the landlord was released and told to return at a later date for a hearing. She was ordered to not step foot at the property where the incident took place. So she's staying at another one of her properties.
I also heard from someone, I couldn't find it in print, that the family does not have to pay rent and I think they are moving. That's going to be even more stress on poor little Taz. But it's better for everyone. They still aren't sure if Taz is going to make it. His neurological damage has not been completely assessed yet. With being beat in the head then cinched in a plastic bag over night, that's a lot for such a tiny little guy.
They have received several donations helping with his medical costs.

Yes, a 65 year old woman.
