Man Kills Dog With Drill

"The dog bit the son Nick," Captain Peter Costanzo of the Plainville Police Department said. "At which point, Enrique took Nick to the hospital for treatment."

When the father heard about the attack, he took matters into his own hands. "Severino came home at that point in time and in a fit of rage, took a power drill and drilled the dog's head several times," Costanzo said.

The dog, back in the cage at this time, had no way to get away.

"He held the dog by his collar with his chain and drilled the holes in the dog," Costanzo noted.

Up to twelve holes were drilled into the dog's head. "This didn't immediately kill the dog," Costanzo said. "But it was later necessary to have the dog euthanized."

At that point, the dog's owner, Enrique, called police. But when they arrived, they arrested Enrique for animal cruelty as well. There was another dog in the cage -- a four-month old puppy who has now been taken by the animal control officer.

Police say, the dogs had been badly malnourished and kept in deplorable conditions. "I couldn't give you specifics other than to tell you, it was an unhealthy condition for the dogs and they weren't being fed properly," Costanzo said.

I saw that on the news last night. I think they should give this guy an especially stiff penality. In cases like this, they should charge the person as-if it was done to another human being.

There were even pictures of the dog on the news!

i think someone should take a drill to his head 10 or 12 times and left to die

Yeah, but not in the PETA sense. We need reasonable and realistic animal rights.

I think you have to be a little sick in the head to be able to actually go through with something like that in the manner he did. It would be a different story if you were being held down by a dog which is trying to kill you and just your luck there's a drill lying on the floor next to you; even then it'd seem more effective time-wise to give it a good smack in the head with the body of the drill.

DAMN, that's fucking awful.

He was pissed the dog bit his son. But he went overboard big time
