AP reports a 43 year old firefighter in Columbus, Ohio has been sentenced to 90 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to two counts of animal cruelty and one count of possession of a criminal tool (a homemade silencer attached to the end of his rifle).
David Santuomo was going on vacation and he wanted to avoid boarding them while he was gone. So, he tied his his two mixed breed dogs (Sloopy and Skeeter) to a pipe in his basement, shot and killed them. He then threw their remains in the trash bin behind his firehouse. Prosecutors say he bragged about the killings to colleagues. Defense attorney Sam Shamansky says it was "totally out of character" for his client.
How disgusting and sad. I have absolutely no patience for bad pet owners. This guy got off easy. He deserves way more of a punishment.
