Crime Man Accused of Blowing Up Dog Not Charged With Animal Cruelty

[KaerfNomekop]

A man accused of blowing up his daughter’s dog because he was mad at her is being held on $500,000 bail, but not for harming the pet pooch.

“In the animal cruelty statute in the state of Washington it talks about animal suffering,” Undersherriff Dave Cox told ABC News. Since the dog died instantaneously and didn’t suffer before it died, “the prosecutor was concerned about that verbiage,” Cox said.

Christopher Dillingham, 45, of Stevenson, Wash., allegedly killed the yellow lab named Cabala on Sunday after a dispute with his daughter, who was given the pet by an acquaintance just six months prior.

Guess that's almost fair.

Wow reading the comments on that article.... bleugh. All that guy did was kill his own dog(not illegal) , and everyone wants him locked up for 20+ years.

Not saying that I approve or anything but the fact of the matter really is that it was his dog and he did not torture it or kill it slow. I mean it is the difference between being taken to an animal shelter and put to sleep or blown up. It might not be politically correct but apparently it is not against the law where he is at. He should not be in jail.

 

[KMilz]

Huh hah! Semantics.

 

[FireCat]

because an ex-girlfriend had "put the devil in it,"

What a SICK scumbag! There is something awfully wrong with a person who would do something like this! The beast should have been sentenced to prison!

Still it is a dog, they adore you, they love you, follow you where ever you go, and kill to protect you. Loyal animals, so I dont give a shit about the actual "laws" that says this is illigal or not. Hope he gets cancer my grandma's cancer and dies a slow painful death.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Justice has never been fair, as justice only applies to beings capable of logic and restraint. However, I hope the dog is in a better place now and that that man loses his job, his face and his property. Let him suffer till the end of his days. At least he is permitted to suffer via law.

So much hate. Guys calm down, its just somebody killing somebody else. We have this every day. You all react as if never before has a dog been killed violently.

 

[FireCat]

So what? ^

And then, to amend this hole in the law, they create a bill.. And some big farts debate it.. Then Obama vetoes it.. Then big farts debate it again.. And it eventually becomes law and, all the while, animal rights activists are protesting at every hour.

There should be an easier way to change laws to fix holes that are obvious =P

But think about those poor politicians. They have to make money too. If they would not have the chance to debate about useless stuff then their jobs would be lost and they would not get the money they desperately need.

It is called common sense, but governments and their stupid farts, are so bound to their own shit.

There is no obvious hole, you shouldn't be going to jail for killing your own dog, in much the same way a farmer shouldnt go to jail for killing one of his animals.

Couldn't we extend that to killing one's own children, then?

 

[iPeez]

Why do we always end up talking rape, taco and killing?

 

[Varine]

Some children.

 

[Nyph]

Couldn't we extend that to killing one's own children, then?

No, because children are humans.

 

[Accname]

No, because children are humans.

So, and "dogs" are not, huh?

 

[FireCat]

Cabella, a Labrador Retriever, was killed with an explosive device on Sunday, allegedly by his new owner.

Children in Dillingham's home were reportedly unharmed.

If they weren't? Hmm

What a worthless piece of shit. But the good news is "he is going to be charged with animal cruelty."!!!

 

[camelCase]

Humans are animals, too. Just a little more evolved.
