:eek: [http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/4301306.htm](http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/4301306.htm) Mother-Fucker! Oh, well. If he had named his dog _Louis_, he would have used a guillotene. (SP?) ---

What a complete and total ass. There really isn’t a word to describe the depths of this man’s sickness. ---

This guy should be fed to something with really big, sharp teeth. ---

And his wife was afraid to report this?!?! If it had been my dog, that man wouldn’t be alive right now. Bastard. ---

I can believe she was afraid to report it. Most people who can do something so sick to an animal will do something just as sick to a person. I hope she gets herself and the kids away from him. ---

Reminds me of my friend’s father. He and her mother well, they were alcoholics, and frequently would get into drunken fights. One night, he hit her mother, and the dog attacked him, trying to protect her. He took said dog outside and shot it through the head. :mad: ---

I’ll probably come across as a heartless bastard for saying this, but I’m glad his abusive temper was taken out on the dog instead of one of his kids. Now that the serious nature of his temper is in the open he can get counseling or find some way to cope before the kids/wife end up being the target of his rage. Hopefully the justice system will show wisdom in making his punishment be therapy and anger management training instead of jail time or fines which could cause more stress on the family and raise the possibility of such an outbreak occuring again, possibly with a different recepient of his temper this time. Enjoy, Steven ---

I guess the hole punch was already full. ---

Ye gods, what a sick fuck. Even though the whole thing makes me cringe, the strangest and most disturbing part for me was this: > [@](#): > > **She said she then found her husband in the bathroom, trying to clean and staple the wounds "with a regular stapler."** Sick fuck. I don’t know that therapy can fix that.
