An Ohio hunter who is accused of fatally shooting a man’s two dogs has been fired from his job. According to WTRF 7 News, the alleged shooter, 59-year-old Michael Chedester, has been terminated from his position at AEP – the company has cited the incident which took place Monday morning just outside of St. Clairsville city limits, as the reason for the termination.
On Wednesday, the company released a statement regarding the disturbing incident, and their reason for choosing to cut ties with Chedester:
“AEP expects the highest level of conduct from our employees, both on the job and outside of work. We are saddened by the situation that unfolded this week involving an off-duty AEP Ohio employee and the death of two dogs. This individual is no longer employed by AEP.”
The dogs, a Doberman and a Weimaraner, were fatally shot after escaping from Pete Byers’ home. Byers was actively looking for his dogs when the dogs were fatally shot.
The incident has resulted in felony animal cruelty charges of prohibitions concerning companion animals. Prior article about this situation here.
Oh yah take that asshole
Not enough, this man is one sick individual and needs to rot in jail!!!
Good for that stupid POS, someone should shoot him for his being the asshole he is.
GOOD!!! Now give him the maximum amount of time in jail possible, 2 years, and make certain the filthy scumbag remains there every minute of it! He deserves no pity nor any plea deals. He has shown no remorse, and if he is at all sorry, it’s only for himself, not for his victims, which includes the family of the innocent dogs he MURDERED.
2 years and big fines oh and not ever be permitted to hunt anywhere. Also remove all guns from him.
Felony if it sticks he’ll never own a gun again
Fantastic !! Just shoot him between the eyes like he did those innocent babies and save the taxpayers some money !!!
something still isn’t right with this, the owner of those 2 dogs was in court a while back on shooting at someone else”s dogs… and why did Pete Byers take a selfie with Michael Chedester?
Getting fired is a good start. Now, put a bullet between his eyes.
Good!!! What a freaking demon!! ? An abomination from hell!!! Poor excuse of human garbage? That poor man that lost his babies??. It’s not enough but at least AEP has morals and refused a demon to continue to work for them.
Glad to hear he lost his job I hope it was a good paying one and that he loses anything he’s built up in it he now needs to serve time in jail per dog this pos needs to lose any right to shoot any gun what so ever
There are at least two petitions circulating hoping to convince the Courts to sentence him to the MAXIMUM.
