Two westies in Sudley will never be together again. According to manassaspatch.com:
Two dogs were restrained with duct tape in a burglary that police say began due to a relationship dispute, according to Prince William County Police spokesperson Jonathan Perok.
One of the dogs was found dead and the other was injured, but has been returned to the owner.
Arrested Monday, Khanh Hoang Hong, 44, of 7567 Quail Run Lane, is charged with burglary, two counts of felony animal cruelty and two counts of grand larceny (animal). He is being held without bond and will appear in court June 13.
According to police, Hong is accused of breaking into another home in the 7500 block of Quail Run on Wednesday, April 17. Police say Hong used duct tape to restrain the dogs’ mouths and legs and put them in the trunk of his car.
This evil person was apparently an estranged boyfriend who broke into the woman’s home while she was at work and dog-napped her two beautiful westies. He killed one and injured the other before dumping both.
There is something so malicious and evil about killing an innocent dog that this man, if found guilty, should have a special law made just for him that allows the State to simply put him out of his misery.
I sure don’t want him in MY neighborhood and I am sure many other people feel the same way. My dogs bark at everyone. I don’t discourage them knowing that some POS like this man is lurking about. What should happen to this man if convicted? I really don’t want to hear the word fine. I want to hear jail time and double digits for the time he will be Bubba’s special someone. I hope Bubba makes him wear a dog collar also….in pink with rhinestones.
He needs to change his name to Hoang Hung-high from the nearest tree branch. POS!
“or being the owner of such animal permits such acts to be done by another; and has been within five years convicted of a violation of this subsection or subsection A, is guilty of a Class 6 felony if the current violation or any previous violation of this subsection or subsection A resulted in the death”
It is a class 6 felony and punishment can be:
“(f) For Class 6 felonies, a term of imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than five years, or in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury, confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.”
I hope they go for maximum jail. This kind of sickness is sure to be perpetrated on a human next.
I have no problem with severe penalties against humans for cruelty to animals, even if it does not cause death. Animals, like children, are completely at our mercy. 12 months and fine of not more than $2,500 seems ridiculously lenient.
It does to me also. Plus, there is a clear relationship between people who are cruel to animals and people who are cruel to other people.
There should only be maximum sentencing for abuse.
Does that mean the death penalty is ruled out for this toad?
This is one sick dude and the girlfriend is lucky she wasn’t home, who knows what would have happened to her.
