The person believed to be responsible for the death of a dog in Louisville, Kentucky has been arrested. According to WLKY News, 71-year-old Larry Meadows is the individual who beat a border collie with a board last week – a witness contacted animal control after seeing the cruel situation.
The grievously wounded dog, dubbed “Mira,” was taken under the wing of The Arrow Fund last Thursday – tragically, despite veterinary intervention, the wounded dog died.
According to the Arrow Fund, Mira was not only beaten with a board, but she had been poisoned with anti-freeze. Before being rushed to a veterinarian, she suffered a severe seizure and had to be sedated.
Meadows was arrested on June 10 and he is facing a charge for animal torture causing serious physical injury or death.

All of these mental people who abuse dogs have the same look; stupid, dirty, poor, and a crazy look in their eyes. IT’S TIME TO MAKE THESE PEOPLE PAY!! Take him out behind a barn and beat him until he is having seizures. Then open his mouth and poor antifreeze down his throat. RIP poor baby!!
Karma is a BITCH and you’re really going to wish it wasn’t. To hurt an innocent animal, to kill an innocent animal you will reap what you sewed…. I pray sooner than later you POS!!!
Sign me up I will help…less of another sack of shit to breathe precious oxygen
Asshole! I hope you get a most severe punishment!
You pos scumbag your lucky I don’t find you chop your genitalia off
Sick POS. I want to pour anti freeze down his throat and watch him suffer as I beat him with a board!!!
Count me in Helen – a dose of his own medicine is exactly what that old fuck needs.
The fucker I like to bashes brains in with a stick
That’s wonderful if he doesn’t get out on a technicality
I hope this POS receives a harsh sentence! Larry Meadows is a monster doing this to Mira!
Ugly piece of shit. May he go to hell soon.
someone needs to put his old hillbilly ass to sleep and hope he never had children,RIP MIRA
What a freaking pos!! OMG! I HATE,HATE,HATE ANIMAL ABUSERS!! They do not deserve to breathe air!
I am glad that he is old and near death. He is a worthless human and doesn’t deserve one ounce of compassion. I hope the stress of jail kills him. Burn in HELL you piece of shit.
You f****** bastard! I wish someone would use that board on you. You need to be locked up for the rest of your filthy and miserable life.
Lock this old geezer away and let him rot his final years away in jail…..preferable in a cell with an animal lover.
If he gets out on a techniquility, I have family down there that guarantee he won’t last 24 hours. And if he does time he better bring a jar of Vaseline, I have people every where.
Sick piece of crap, I would really like to say what I think of this pile of crap, I hate him, I truly hate him for what he did and Hell is waiting on him. So Sad so so sad.
If they let this ass off, there is no hope for the justice system. We have got to yell louder!
Fucking old geezer piece of shit bastard. Hang the fucker. Id love to take a board to his fucked up face ????????????????????????????. Pure scum
I’ll gladly buy anti-freeze and a board – who’s with me to hunt this MF down and give him a taste of his own medicine?
I know this man and I can tell you that this story is not true. Whoever started this should be ashamed of themselves. The dog was a stray that wandered up on his property and he took it in and fed it with his other dog that is still alive and well. What happened to Mira is sad, but I don’t believe for a second that he is responsible for what happened. Meadows treated like the border collie like it was his own. Before people prepare to hang someone from the gallows, they need to consider that the dog wasn’t in Mr Meadows custody when the animal was rescued.
The witness is lying?
A witness saw the dog being beaten, if it wasn’t “Mr. Meadows” then who was it and why wasn’t the dog in his custody if he indeed was taking care of it? I guess if he was not the culprit then he will a good civil suit against whoever did turn him in.
Charles unless you were there you cannot say the witness lied. You know him to be a sweet guy but you don’t know how he treated Mira when you were not around. Some people take in animals simply to abuse them. Your friends personality has changed he is a dog killer now
I also want to add that the Mira wasn’t tied up either, so the dog ate with Mr Meadows dog which is still alive. If he fed the dog poison, wouldn’t his own dog be dead too? Sounds kind of fishy to me.
Yes it does since you stated above that Mira wasn’t in his possession, whose was she in? And who was the POS that was beating her with a board that the witness saw?
Yes its fishy alright , he ended up hating Mira so he killed her. Your friend is a dog killer now. Perhaps he had not gotten around to killing his own dog yet
I don’t know why people would lie about something like this, but that’s all it takes to cause someone a lot of grief and ruin their reputation.
I am hoping this old bastard is thrown in jail where he dies. No sense wasting good space on this creep. Prayers to the sweet girl that had to die at the hands of this old monster fleabag.
Asshole will probably only get a tap on the wrist, like they all do… POS scumbags!!! I say, HANG him and every low life POS scumbag like him!!! Hang um high, all of them!!!
Set an example for the losers!!!!! Animal abuse will not be tolerated!!!
You old ugly worthless sack of shit waste of fucking space it’s things like you that make me hate the human race!
