A woman’s former boyfriend pleaded guilty to animal cruelty on Friday in the Parramatta Local Court in Australia after he intentionally beat a disabled dog causing the animal serious internal injuries. According to the Daily Telegraph, Christopher De La Fuente, 25, subjected a female cavoodle named Paris to abusive training methods for over a month in order to assert himself as the “alpha male.”
On February 23, 2015, De La Fuente “disciplined” Paris for defecating and urinating in the apartment by kicking the dog on both sides so egregiously that veterinarians diagnosed 16 cracked ribs. Paris had a partially amputated leg which made it difficult for her to walk. When the dog’s owner returned home, she found Paris lying on the floor in distress and immediately brought her to the Epping Veterinary Clinic.
Upon examination, Paris was unable to stand, had a faint heartbeat and trouble breathing. Radiographs revealed the dog had multiple rib fractures, two splintered ribs and an older fracture that had since healed.
Judge Tim Keady sentenced De La Fuente to 150 hours of community service and prohibited him from owning an animal for 10 years, telling him that “quite (a) serious injury” on an animal was “an indication of the character of the offender” which may be “indicative of deeper problems.” RSPCA NSW Chief Inspector David O’Shannessy said the offender was “totally” at fault for the intentional assault of the defenseless dog.
Paris has since recovered.

SICK, I hope you get what you did to that poor dog.
The part that got me was ‘and an older fracture that had since healed’, it sent shivers down my spine. What hell that precious soul must have gone through not knowing if it was going to get a beating that day. Imagine waking up every day not knowing what your fate will be. And how long must that have carried on for? Banned from owning animals for life should have been the sentence, unless people can truly be rehabilitated and sincerely feel remorse for what they’ve done..
I’m with you on that one…..that poor dog must have been petrified every day.
Ditto Mel!
Yes I agree evil bastard
150 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE?????? He needs to be put in jail for a few months!!!! I have been told that the UK actually has some animal cruelty laws with real teeth on the books, but you would never know it from the despicable sentences given to offenders over there.
He should be put in jail together with animals lovers and let them take care of sorry POS ASS
I hope this woman isn’t seeing this poor excuse for a man anymore. That POS needs the same thing done to him. A couple cracked ribs might help him understand…..
The article says “former” boyfriend so let’s hope it stays that way. What a rotten POS. I feel so badly for Paris.
i want that stupid bastard in jail for a very long time. I don’t want this fool walking around in society. He is a danger.
I feel the judge needs to step down, months & months of abuse & he gives this POS 150 community hrs. this guy is laughing his head off!
What kind of punishment is 150 hours of community service for this? Hardly a slap on the wrist for hurting this poor dog. And why was the woman who owned the dog so blind to what was going on? It sounds like this POS had been abusing Paris for quite awhile and she noticed nothing? Christopher De La Fuente needs to spend some jail time for what he did. Who will be his next victim!
SOMEONE should KICK THE JUDGE in HIS REPRODUCTIVE PARTS a DOZEN TIMES and SEE HOW HE FEELS ABOUT THAT>>>> ASS HOLE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BENCH!!!
I like the kick that motherfucker right in his fucking balls shove them Up to his stomach fucking piece of shit
I AGREE! He needs to go to JAIL…NOT some wussy-minded community service! The article did say “former boyfriend”, so I’m sure THIS was the breaking point when she kicked him to the curb. I sure HOPE SO! Prayers for your quick healing and nothing but LOVE from here on out, sweet Paris! ???? ???? ???? ????

What is wrong with these judges I just think they are full blown idiots … 150 hours community service .. and because we have full blown idiots like this judge animal abuse will always continue..this judge should be on a park bench…
This vile scumbag requires the death penalty.This poor dog most definately needs to be rehomed.The judge is a moron who obviously disliked dogs.A communitry service order is NOT appropriate.I am willing to adopt Paris. I am very serious about this.She requires a loving home where she will be cared for
150 hours of community work and a prohibition ? He should be sent to jail ! ha, so unjust are the systems. Beating this poor dog
is like beating a baby !
