Woman charged in stabbing of dog



Felony animal abuse charges will be filed against a Bellevue woman accused of stabbing a puppy to death.

The 32-year-old was originally cited with misdemeanor animal cruelty, but Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov announced Wednesday that he would file the felony charge.

The woman told officials she thought the dog had died Friday night after she found it hanging over a fence by its leash. When she found the dog still alive the next morning, she stabbed it to end its suffering, she said.

A necropsy showed no signs of strangulation but did find signs of blunt-force trauma to the head, a Nebraska Humane Society spokesman said.

1. What a scumbag

People who are cruel to animals are usually predisposed to cruel to people.

4. Thanks

I love fast moving news boards. The spell checker is great. I am still trying to figure out the layout of the board.

I am fairly new to this format. Do you know any other boards like this where news is discussed like this? Seems to be fairly civil and idiot free here.

5. I don't know of any other board quite like this.

And the LBN forum is great, isn't it? :)

6. Bravo for the county attorney for charging her w/ a felony

I'm encouraged that society seems to be taking animal cruelty more seriously. That bitch (in the article) is a monster.
