A Florida man, who punched a puppy hard enough to break her eye socket, has been sentenced to jail time. According to the Bradenton Herald, 39-year-old Carleau Mesidor has been sentenced to nine months in jail after he accepted a plea deal for charges of felony animal cruelty for the October 2016 incident.
Mesidor was arrested on October 19 after being accused of hanging his three-month-old puppy, “Zoey,” from a lanyard and repeatedly punching her in the face because she chewed on a shoe. The pup suffered a fracture to her eye socket, but has since recovered and she is now living with a new family.
Following Mesidor’s hearing, Assistant State Attorney Lisa Chittaro stated, “This was a senseless, brutal attack on a helpless three-month-old puppy that will forever be etched in the minds of everyone involved. It’s one of the most barbaric cases we have dealt with. Animal cruelty will not be tolerated.”
In addition to jail time, Mesidor has been given two years of probation, during which time he is not allowed to have contact or possession of dogs.

Glad to hear he got time! I would have given him much longer. Happy he was punished and he better not get out early!
I hope someone breaks his whole face in prison!
Agree!!
did ya mother punch you in the face when you were teathing?
A POS like that should never have the privilege of owning or even being around a dog or any animal
How about the death penalty ! Signs of a potential serial killer!
Your joking, right??? 9 months?? When are these judges going to make the sentences fit the crimes? It should have been 5 years!!! Unless these “sub-humans” do some serious time, this will NEVER stop. They know they will be getting away with it, that’s why they do it. Glad the puppy is OK. Just sorry the HUMAN got away with it again.
You are 100% right Pamela Bolton, nine months is a slap on the wrist and will do NOTHING to prevent this hunk of horse manure from harming another animal. He should be sitting in prison for years, not months. Carleau Mesidor needs a megadose of his own medicine – and I hope he gets it – another case of animal cruelty where the victim does NOT get justice.
Nine months is not long enough and he should NEVER be able to have another pet again!
Please do EVERY LIVING BREATHING BEING in Society a favor and HANG YOURSELF in jail!
Finally a cruel, ignorant bastard receives something closer to what is consequences for his brutality against and innocent, defenseless being.
Not long enough somebody should punch him in the face see how he like it
What he did was terrible. And I wish people would speak out like you all are for the rights of human children.
Another good Judge! Hurt a dog and pay with jail time. Puppies chew; dogs chew not because they just decide to piss off owners, but because it feels good to their teeth. The idiots of the world who beat their dogs for chewing should be beat for leaving the shoes in view and not giving the dogs proper toys to chew on. I hope more Judges follow this ruling.
Another POS gets off with abusing a innocent baby puppy.. 9 months in jail? Are you effing kidding me, what if it was a human baby?
This animal abuser should be banned for life from ever owning or being in the presence of any other animal and spend at least 5 mandatory years locked up!
The same thing he did to this sweet innocent animal should be done to him” infact, the law needs to lock him up and throw away the key permentaly!!
He should have gotten a lot longer time in Prison. Atleast he did get some time.
I hope the dog lovers in prison give him a seeing too ,,he is one piece of you-know-what
WE PRAY TO GOD AND JESUS EVERYDAY THAT ANYONE WHO HURTS OR KILLS LOVING ANIMALS WILL BE SENT T0 HELL FOREVER!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!
I am in agreement with those of you that feel the punishment isn’t harsh enough but now that he has received this sentence it paves the way for harsher punishment in the future. I am so thankful that animal cruelty is being taken seriously, not so long ago it was considered a misdemeanor if punished at all. Hopefully he’s sharing a cell with someone who loves dogs!
He should have been given a life time ban on ever owning or living in the same household as a pet. Jail will be a vacation to this monster. Hopefully there will be an animal lover there who will deal out some REAL JUSTICE to this monster.
UGH—-are you fucking kidding me!!!!
He even looks like a scum bag. I am so glad he will be sent to jail. It is a light sentence but better than just getting probation like some of these asshole judges give these scumbags who do the same thing. He should not be allowed to EVER OWN A PET ever again in this scumbags life!! That is the problem I have with the rest of his punishment.
JS I have two dogs myself,I would never do that to any of my dogs.I think he should get a longer time for what he did.
Our judges suck in this country!!! Glad he go som time… let’s see if he actually serves it!!! May karma get him sooner rather than later ????????????
Despicable pos. He shouldn’t be allowed to own an animal EVER
I’d like to kick him in the face while wearing stilettos! Hope the puppy is living with a decent family that will treat her right now.
Bubba? While he is in jail would you please break his face? His name is Carlio Mesidor in or near Bradenton Florida.
