The man, James Dickie, 23, told police that he could not afford to
pay a licensed veterinarian to neuter his dog. Instead, Dickie is
accused of setting fire to his dog’s scrotum and testicles.

The dog was rescued after a concerned neighbor phoned Dickie’s
grandmother, who asked a friend to check on the dog. The dog, Charlie,
was found in his owner’s bedroom – unable to move because he was so
severely injured.

Witnesses also claim that Dickie was seen beating his dog in the yard
just days before. Of little surprise, Dickie denied abusing his dog
when questioned by authorities.

Charlie was taken to a veterinarian and treated for his burns. A neighbor covered the dog’s veterinary expenses.
The abused dog was not returned to the man that is accused of beating and burning him. He has been adopted to a new family.
His prior owner faces charges of animal cruelty – a fourth degree felony which could put Dickie behind bars for 1 1/2 years.
It is disheartening to see someone subject a dog to such cruelty. It
is baffling to hear of a person that chooses to own a dog while claiming
to not be able to afford the most basic of veterinary care.

It would appear that this man has an abusive personality based on the
accusations against him. For non-abusive owners facing a financial
hardship stemming from the need to have a pet altered, there are
low-cost options available.

Somebody like that is too bizarre and dangerous (or stupid) to be allowed to roam free in society.
Move that number over a couple. He should be put away for 11 and a half years. Beating and burning your dog? Jesus christ. Anyone who tries that on my Emily is getting his ass kicked all the way to the county prison.
“It would appear that this man has an abusive personality based on the

But it seems the degree of the crimes against animals do not warrant that.
I hope that when people die and meet God that God turns out to be a Dog.
Can you say,”OpppppS”, 😯

~ Let’s just make a law that whatever the abuser does to an animal, the same is implied to them!
There was an article I posted a few years back… A ticked off boyfriend wanted to exact revenge on his ex, so ugh, he sets her tiny Pomeranian on fire after pouring some gas on it. Because of the fur, the gas rolled off when she was set on fire, she ran around the fire on her went out but while she was running around the room freaking out, she knocked over the gas can on the BOYFRIEND and set HIM on fire, there fore, HIS house was burnt down and HE was sent to intensive care, lol, the girlfriend and her pooch where fine…Karma’s a B*tch!!
Not sure if this guy needs an education or a straitjacket!
