Fuck this guy
What a despicable human being! As punishment he should be forced to sit in a cage with no plastic bottom, outside in the cold with no food or water! Those poor dogs. So sad about the one they had to put down. It’s in a much better place!
Don’t forget- his jaw’s gotta be broke in 2 places and he needs puncture wounds all over his body. I hate animal abusers.
democrats would be cheering if he were grinding up fetuses.
Exactly
Troll.
what does politics have to do with anything… i swear i always see it on here… if a guy is white the people comment about the judge but not the person actually committing a crime…. if hes a POC they say deport or talk about their race….. sick world we live in. wrong is wrong. doesnt matter race, gender, or political affiliation. WERIDO.
weirdo *
Absolutely nothing to do with politics but here we are again.
Disgusting Michel puts HIGHER bonds on dog issues than people hurting people.
Animals are innocent.
That part!!!!
I say shatter his jaw and euthanize him. POS!
Fucking douche needs to be locked in a crate.
Have a feeling this dude had tubs of peanut butter. But it’s okay if it’s your dog 🤷♂️
First where is the owner who said to have them in this cold ass place is what we should be asking because he’s not even the owner Js
Scum signed his not alive certificate
Dude looks old for 37
Give him the same sentence he gave his helpless abused dogs?
I think there’s more to the story. Come on yall If he the dog sitter don’t you think you should be looking into the owners of the animals as well. There is 2 sides to every story 🤔
The owners of the dogs need to be held accountable!! It said the poop had been dried to the floor!! This guy watched them while they were out of town. During this time, he should’ve turned his friends in for mistreating animals!! Sounds like there are a lot of people guilty for this!!
He’s just as guilty…..he should have reported the “owners” of these dogs. He obviously knew these “owners” so he knew what these dogs endured. Now he can pay the price along with the owners.
I was told that the dogs were released back to the owners. Nowhere on here does it say the owners were charged. The owners must have kept the dogs like this. The person who took the 5 month old dog and kept it at his house for 2 days in agony pain needs severe consequences!! There’s is a lot to unfold here and it sounds like everything is being pushed into one person when multiple people were involved. The others need to be charged!! The owner that put these dogs into the crates and let them shit and piss all over and just left to go to Puerto Rico with a babysitter who doesn’t even have transportation got his dogs back (I was told) and are still living in those conditions. More needs to be done, I really hope the police haven’t stopped researching this case!!
Whoever is giving you this info needs to go to the police and report it then. And keep reporting it every day. Have the person take pictures and video of the dogs living conditions. And keep reporting it. Someone needs to speak up for the ones who don’t have a voice. Do you have an address where these dogs are being kept?
Don’t even try to defend this POS. Two others were also arrested. This beautiful pup doesn’t have a chance to give his side the story. Obviously he had something to do with it or he would not be arrested.
deport him
Not his first rodeo with law enforcement:
https://www.cbs58.com/news/kenosha-man-with-revoked-license-16-prior-offenses-arrested-for-going-101-mph-in-a-55-mph-zone
This story has the wrong dates. This happened in February, not January.. If someone is going to write a story for everyone to see, it needs to be correct!!
There is a lot more to this story. There’s more people involved who aren’t being listed!! There’s people still out there guilty, the actual owners of the dogs is what it looks like by this article is still free and not getting any charges for the neglect of leaving his dogs in these conditions!!
Dean Burns (druggie) must’ve got a tired of abusing the six or seven of his baby mamas! Minus the one that died of a drug overdose! He’s now turned to abusing and killing dogs! Lock him up and throw away the key!
Sad to see knowing Dean has all these kids he is not there for at all. Too busy hanging out with people committing crimes. He should have been working a job or taking care of his many kids. He should not have even had time to watch someone else’s dogs.
