Thats just wrong to kill a pet because of stuff like that.

This totally made me cry. I own an almost 2-year old mini dachshund and she is the cutest thing. I don't know what kind of person could stand to watch an animal as it was dying, let alone if they were the one killing it. Her punishment should be severe.

I'm not even an animal person (allergic to dogs and cats) and that made me sad.

If she was jealous of a dog, he's better off without her.

I am not sure if she should get jail time, but some meds and counseling would be nice lol.

Silly witch.

She may face animal cruelty charges? Ummm, DUH. She better.

At least in Illinois, a conviction of residential burglary results in a prison sentence -- unless the charge is reduced. Aside from that, people who kill or otherwise abuse animals like this should absolutely go to jail.

Some sort of sick "Fatal Attraction" type thing? Ick. Any woman who's jealous of a dog is in serious need of some serious therapy.

I know that I have said this many times, just when I think society has sunk to its lowest, it's stories like these that make me reconsider.

I feel so bad for the guy and his dog. I hope that is hopefully soon to ex-girlfriend and her friend get the most severe punishment allowed for animal cruelty. Poor little doggie!

Not to mention jail time for killing the dog and one HELL of a beat-down!

Yes I am a dog lover and wanted to beat the biatch myself when I read this!

I remember a year or so in England a woman apparently told her friend that she had MICROWAVED a kitten.

Her friend was horrified and the RSPCA (animal protection charity) was told.

The woman who claimed she was depressed at the time, got three months in jail as a result if I recall correctly.

I hate stories like this.

This stuff kind of makes me think Singapore has criminal punishment right.

Cane the bitch.

Hey, my mother drowned a puppy once. Was trying to teach it how to swim (I think she was around 3-4 years old though).

It does make me think twice about pissing off my girlfriend though.
