Man Arrested After Torturing, Killing Family Dog

November 21, 2011 at 2:47 am by  

Man Arrested After Torturing, Killing Family DogJonesborough, TN — A 21-year-old man was arrested last week after he reportedly admitted to torturing and killing a family dog.

No word on the breed or who the dog belonged to, but Dustin Harrell apparently tossed the critter down the stairs, held it under running water, tossed it in the dryer and tumbled it for approximately four minutes.

Now, I haven’t owned a dog in quite some time, but I’m pretty sure they’re dry clean only…

Police say the dog’s leg was broken at some point during the beatdown, causing her to cry out in pain. Harrell apparently stifled the dog’s cries by taping her mouth shut.

Harrell was charged with aggravated animal cruelty and was ordered held on a $10,000 bond.

Thanks for the tip, Jessica.

    It’s weird to me when I read about people my age doing horrible things. I mean, I’ve been alive approximately as long as this guy, but when I was learning things like “don’t pull the cat’s tail, he doesn’t like it”, this guy was apparently learning stuff like “You can pull his tail as long as you tape his mouth shut first.”

    Am not a dog fan by any means………was bitten very badly some years ago…….but you just DONT do this to any animal!!!!

  • Pyncky

    What a worthless piece of shit.

  • Sam

    This guy needs to be punished properly, not just a slap on the wrist. He looks damn near proud of himself in that mugshot. If he doesn’t get taught the lesson that that’s not how you treat animals, or any living creature for that matter – he’s just going to keep doing whatever the hell he pleases. And i have a horrible feeling that it pleases him immensly to cause pain to anything smaller than him…

    What do you do with people like this? He serves a little time. Gets out then rushes on to, oh maybe, hurting children. then adults?

  • Jemimabean

    Yip. I wonder how many little children he is in contact with? :(

  • Sam

    My worry exactly. At 21 he still has a ridiculous number of years ahead of him in which to father children, or future victims.

  • Anonymous

    He looks like an angry, skinny (or at least skinnier) Chaz Bono.

    Nah he will stick with animals and kids they are helpless, people like him do not go up against those their own size

    Cuddles has been asking what she was going to eat on Thanksgiving Day.
    I think I found the right turkey this year.

    I hate animal abusers. They are pathetic cowards.
    I think that all animal abusres should be tried in a court held by PETA.
    You know everyone will get the death penalty there.

    What in the fuck is wrong with this fuck!/??? Looking all proud & shit in that mug!???

    Our Pringy’s been gone for 4 months because we had no choice & this POS kills his.

    I hope it bit him in the process, that he gets gangrene & that he DIES from it.

    Instead of the word OR you should’ve used a /, as in:

    I have six dogs, all are dashund or dashund mixes. The joke with my family is that they’ll bark even if they hear a leaf fall in the front yard. Of course this gets annoying but not in my wildest nightmares would I ever harm my six yapping babies. This man is disgusting and will pay for what he did to that defenseless doggie

    Jaded-so funny!  pretty sure dogs are dry clean only!  haha

    I don’t know.  This can’t have been his first-go-round at harming animals, and that speaks volumes about his mental status.  I doubt they’ll be able to keep him for too long, but he sure as fuck needs to be kept off the streets.  That type of a lack of empathy for another living thing is disturbing.  Fucking gutless prick.  He doesn’t deserve a place in society, which is saying a lot cause we tend to allow all sorts of fucknuts into the club.

    That poor thing. I can’t even imagine how painful it would be to die in a hot dryer. I hope it went into shock early and didn’t suffer too long. If it had tape over its nose, the heat combined with that probably suffocated it. The amount of agony had to be unreal.

    Cool..i have a miniature dachshund, just breeding her now.  Very good dog, but she too likes to bark if she hears things….but just realized, the male is even worse!

  • Anonymous

    Dachshund rescues are overflowing with purebreds in many areas of the country and there are enough responsible breeders already. I would urge you to rethink your decision. I wish I didn’t have to foster, but I used to work in an animal shelter and I want to prevent unnecessary deaths. Dogs and cats are still being euthanized due to space (not health or behavior reasons necessarily), because people are still breeding their pets and others are buying pets on impulse and then passing them to other homes or surrendering them. I am not anti-breeder, but only support breeders who test their dogs for genetic diseases & disorders, breed on a very small scale, and (not or) sell their puppies with contracts forbidding breeding of pet quality pups and stating that the breeder will take the pup back at any point in the dog’s life, for any reason. Responsible breeders are also involved in breed rescue.

    Most serial murderers start out this way… While a few practice animal cruelty in tandum with murder…

    When I read through this, my 5 pound chihuahua foster dog was on my lap. I didn’t say a word, but got so upset reading it that she started shaking (and she isn’t a shivery normally type of chihuahua).

    As long as our companion animal friends have no rights, this will never end in this country, he will get a slap on the wrist– a very soft slap. The government will protect him. He will then mosty likely do this again–for sure! happens a ll the time, maybe to you or your child next? If I were in charge, once this guy was convicted in a quick court trial, he would be pushed in a shallow grave and shot in the back of his head. That’s it. If you don’t think that is right, you have a serious problem or are a religious retard. Would you want this creep living next door to you? Why put him on society for? Because you have far left faggot ass lawyers and politicians always wanting to protect this kind of slime. Next it will be your dog or you child and I will be lauighing when it does. faggot ass country spreading their democratic bullshit on the rest of the world.
