Cherokee man charged with stomping pet puppy
 

A Cherokee County man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stomping his family's puppy to death.

Last Friday, deputies responding to an animal cruelty call at George Swanson's home in Canton found that the family pet had been apparently stomped to death, said Dep. Nicole Ebbeskotte, spokeswoman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department.

Ebbeskotte said Swanson's daughter told deputies that there had been a verbal altercation and her father took out his frustration on the family's new puppy, stomping the dog to death.

Swanson, 59, was arrested Tuesday and charged with cruelty to animals, simple assault and cruelty to children in the second degree.

He is being held at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center on $7,025 bond.

This is sooooo unacceptable.

This makes me sick. I love dogs.

What a sick bastard. http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies...om/cussing.gif

I wonder how puppy-stompers are treated in prison?

my dog would gnaw his foot off at the ankle if she even THOUGHT he was going to stomp her.... i dont know how someone could do that to animals... oh how i wish i could knock him into next year.

Someone ought to stomp that worthless being for what he did.

what's sad is he will probably just have to pay a fine and do some community service. People are so sick :(

The only thing I love more than the human race is the CANINE RACE! I LOVE DOGS AND IF I EVER SAW THIS MAN HE WOULD BE HURT BADLY!!!!!!!!!!

damn, you took the words right out of my mouth. let him know how it feels.

:( that is terrible.. i can't believe a person actually did that.

Funny as all hell lol.

What an asshole, he should have to serve some time. I hate this idea that money can get you out of anything. it's rediculous.

:eek: :( :mad:
