No Justice: Western NY Man Forced Victim To Watch Dog Burn To Death In Barrel

[Sugar Cookie]

A Western New York man has been arrested after troopers say he restrained a 28-year-old man in a chair for several hours and forced the man to watch a dog burn to death, troopers said.

Jeremy J. Vankuren, 33, was charged with second-degree kidnapping, aggravated animal cruelty, third-degree menacing and several additional charges, according to a new release Saturday from the State Police.

An investigation found that on June 19, Vankuren was having people over at his home , troopers said.

During that time, Vankuren forcibly restrained the man -- who was a friend of Vankuren -- in a chair outside of the home, Trooper James O’Callaghan said.

Vankuren took his red-nosed pitbull and put it into a burning barrel that was placed in front of the victim, troopers said. The victim was held against their will for multiple hours as the dog burned, troopers said.

When police went to search the home, they found the burned deceased dog and other items used during the incident, troopers said.

The restrained victim, reported to be a friend of Vankuren’s, was forced to watch Vankuren’s own red-nosed pitbull die a torturous death in a burning barrel. According to sources, Vankuren was irritated because the 13-year-old dog was “annoying him” during a party. The individual who was initially a friend but became a victim had reportedly attempted to intervene on behalf of the dog before Vankuren bound him to a chair and forced him to watch the senior dog get burned alive in the barrel.

Trooper James O’Callaghan commented on the deviant act:

“for someone to take their own pet and burn it alive, while also tying someone else down to a chair, it does make you curious as to what is the possibility of this person doing something else?”

Ridiculous sentence.

We’ll be reading about Vankuren again, but he’ll probably graduate to killing people next.
