The New York Appellate Division for the First Judicial Department, in a unanimous decision, affirmed on Thursday the corporate lawyer who went to jail for beating his girlfriend’s little dog to death has been disbarred. Anthony Pastor, 46, was convicted of aggravated cruelty to animals, a class E felony, and overdriving, torturing and injuring animals – a class A misdemeanor. On May 31, 2017, Pastor was sentenced to two years in prison on the felony and one year on the misdemeanor count – the sentences running concurrently. In addition he is required to register as an animal abuser and has been banned for ten years from owning or caring for any animals.
According to the New York Daily News, Pastor was charged with killing Snoopy — Taly Russell’s four- year-old poodle. Taly stated she had been at Pastor’s apartment and when she awoke in the morning, her dog was dead.
“I looked down and there was Snoopy — stiff, not moving — her eyes were sunken into her head, and there were feces behind her. Then I went closer, and I touched her and she was cold and hard,” Russell, 45, testified during the week long trial.
Pastor’s attorney alleged the dog had been injured the evening before while the couple had sex underneath a tree and the dog had been tied to a fence 15-feet away. Taly disagreed stating she had watched the dog during the brief encounter.
A necropsy revealed the dog died from massive internal bleeding, 9 broken ribs and a “pulverized kidney.”
Assistant District Attorney Tanisha Palvia argued that Pastor flew into a rage after Snoopy had an accident on the carpet.
“This small, fluffy dog was beaten to death,” the prosecutor said. “Think about the kind of person who would cause this kind of injury to a defenseless animal.”
Justice Robert Mandelbaum said Pastor’s repeated blows to the dog “showed almost incomprehensible violence, and malice,” that the dog was in “excruciating pain” up until she lost consciousness while Pastor “sat down at his computer in the most cold blooded manner, and went to work, knowing that the dog lay dying,…on the floor behind him.”
And all of this happened because Snoopy, the fluffy little adorable and defenseless poodle, urinated on the floor of Pastor’s apartment.

Snoopy is in Heaven, God rest his poor soul.
Ahole Attorney will be in Hell, exactly where his pathetic a__ belongs.
Hopefully fellow prisoners will deliver same punishment he gave Snoopy as Justice.
Yes! Hope the prisoners have a field day you fucker!
so he is educated, and has a good job. what a moron, glad he got a sentence. too bad they. just didn’t throw away the keys.
The only real justice would be if he was tortured to death like he did to this poor dog!
OMG! I have no words,this leaves me speechless! I hope he DIES, slowly and very painfully’ and may it be soon, very soon!! RIP SNOOPY❤️
Money and an education does not guarantee a person will be good….this p.o.s. old man deserves to be “used” by Bubba in jail.. Hope you wind up eating in soup kitchens,although the patrons are FAR better than you!!!!!
Disbarred is FINE,BUT this putrid moronic psychopath NEEDED JAIL TIME with some of the DOG LOVING BOY”S that would Show this “CLASS ACT” lawyer JUST what Pain is ALL ABOUT!!! That poor little PUP!!!
Omg. You freaking asshole !!! Yes you deserve everything you get. And I hope your cell mate has a chichi at home waiting for him. You POS !!!!! RIP little one
I hope he has fun in prison. Let me qualify… I hope his prisonmates have lots of fun in prison with him.
behavior unbecoming of a gentleman.
Esq.
such a low life piss face.
that even fellow lawyers cant stand the smell of him.
disbarred and ostracized. I like lawyers
they got rules, and they use them when they want to.
Bring back Old Sparky!
Glad he was disbarred and can not have any animals and will also have to register as an animal abuser registry. I just wish he had to serve jail time but because he is a lawyer, probably worked out something where he doesn’t serve jail time. Judge should have incarcerated him even for 1 year so the dog loving inmates could have had their way with him. That would have been just retribution for Snoopy. RIP poor little dog. Your owner stood up for you in court and loved you.
Some justice, at least. It just didn’t include the same pain a poor innocent suffered. Bubba?
Well I’d like to see more jail time but it’s a start.
The lawyer who beat his girlfriend’s dog to death for urinating on the carpet needs to be sent to a prison that is an Animal loving one!!!! And I know they will show this evil.barbaric.disturbed. Depraved sicko the kind of welcome he needs.!!!!!! Poor baby had no idea!!!chance with this P.O.S . We are so sad for this little ones dearh
WHAT A FUCKING MONSTER WORTHLESS COWARD SON OF A BITCH! I HOPE AN INMATE WILL BEAT HIS STUPID ASS UNTIL HIS EYES POP OUT OF HIS HEAD AND HE’S CHOKED TO DEATH!
So where was the “girlfriend” while this POS was beating her dog to death? Didn’t she hear her dog crying? Did she witness the attack and do nothing? I’m glad this wast of humanity lost his license, and will spend time in jail, but he needs to lose more than this! He makes me sick!
Maybe some dog lovers in prison will beat him to death. Karma has an interesting way of seeking balance.
I hope Bubba has a field day with this POS.
RIP Snoopy.
O I truly hope this hunk of maggot puke gets his just dues by every predatory inmate in jail – being a lawyer should qualify him for all the abuse he so well deserves. And unless this ‘girlfriend’ is deaf, dumb and blind she had to have heard this little dog screaming in pain – no way do I believe she ‘woke up’ and found her dog dead.
O Pastor the Pisser – may your jail time showers make you the bitch of the cellblock.
really, its true.
where the hell was she. i bet he asked politely to go to the bathroom for hours. why didnt she carry folded pee pee pads in her bag,
clearly she knew she would be having sex under a tree. little miss manners. she did not care about keeping her dog safe.
or she wouldn’t be any where near this animal in the first place. im glad she ruined his life. im sorry she didn’t protect the dogs life by being more responsible.
