The Lake County Sheriff’s Office in Tavares, Florida is asking for the public’s help finding the owner of a puppy who broke a puppy’s leg allegedly telling his neighbors he was “disciplining” the pooch. On the Facebook page of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, authorities announced they have issued an animal cruelty complaint for David Pollard.
On January 27, Pollard, 25, was witnessed attempting to “discipline” the puppy for running into the neighbor’s yard at which time the frightened dog hid under a vehicle. Pollard, then using the wooden handle of a rake, poked the puppy violently to get him out of his hiding spot. When the puppy finally came out from underneath the truck, neighbors saw the puppy limping and holding up his left hind leg.
Authorities were notified and a Lake County deputy and Animal Control officer responded to 35826 Lakewood Drive in Leesburg. The puppy was seized and brought to the Emergency Veterinary Clinic where veterinarians discovered he suffered from a fractured left rear leg. A warrant has been issued for Pollard charging him with felony animal cruelty. Anyone with information about Pollard’s location is asked to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 352.343.2101.

This guy looks like a drug addict. with little intelligence and a serious attitude problem!! This is not the kind of man that should be on the streets.
OK…. you know who did this, you have eye witnesses…so what happens when you catch this scuz bucket??? A mere slap on the hand? Animal cruelty needs a MINIMUM SENTENCE OF 5 YEARS in prison AND a $100,000 fine. PLEASE STOP allowing this horrible torture and make these monsters pay!!!!!
Sorry pos.Discipline HIM THE SAME WAY!!!
LOCK HIM UP, JAIL TIME!!! CHARGE HIM FOR THE COST OF THE VET CARE, PLUS EXTRA FOR OTHER ABUSED ANIMALS !!! DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO HAVE ANIMALS OR BE AROUND THEM OR CHILDREN !! YOU HAVE WITNESS’S MAKE THIS STICK !!! THIS IS NEVER GOING TO STOP UNTIL THESE MONSTERS START HAVING TO PAY FOR THESE ACTS !!!
MAKE IT HAPPEN! I want that punk a== bastard found before I take a rake and pound the living sh== out of him. I mean it. I want this bastard caught. Someone knows who this fool is. I want justice for this poor beaten down dog!

WAY THE MESSAGE WAS AFFECTIVE !!!
Looks like a real looooser , Probably high on something , Animal abuser please poke mop head with rake see how dat bum likes it.
Find this F*CK (BEFORE the authorities do) and “discipline” HIM it the same manner… making is easier for the authorities to apprehend, prosecute and incarcerate him!
Hope that precious little pup recovers fully, and finds a truly loving, PROTECTIVE forever home…
Give me the wooden end of a rake and il guarantee you this asshole won’t ever walk again end of story
Please let me hit that boy with a wooden stick. What is wrong with these young now a days. They should make him pay for these poor pup medical bills and charge him with animal. Cruelty.
What an asshole. He should be on the “not allowed to own pets” list.
