Animal control officers responding to a call about a case of possible animal cruelty were met with an unexpectedly cruel situation. According to multiple sources, a 78-year-old man in Lapeer County, Michigan, went into his home on the 5300 block of Otter Lake Road, retrieved a gun, and shot his tethered dogs while the officers looked on.
The bizarre and cruel situation
The bizarre and decidedly cruel situation took place on Thursday afternoon. The dogs, who were chained to dog houses, were killed as the officers looked on. The elderly man then refused to put down his weapon, so a deputy was called to the scene. The man told the deputy to shoot him…but eventually the accused dog killer was apprehended after being zapped with a stun gun, reports WNDU News.
Seized
The authorities seized several weapons and 10 malnourished puppies from the man’s residence – the man, who has not been identified, may face charges.

Ahh, so sweet
Really? “May” face charges? Besides killing these dogs he threatened the Animal control and Police officers. He needs to be put away and I hope his fellow inmates give him a hard lesson!
MAY face charges?
As far as I’m concerned, the officers should have relented and obliged him by shooting him dead, which is EXACTLY what the piece of filth deserved!
The savage maggot “may” face charges?!? May????? WTF???? May?????
MAY face charges? Oh please, somebody speak up for those dogs! The man is surely crazy.
What do they mean “MAY” FACE CHARGES!!! They should have BLOWN HIS
F … G HEAD OFF!!!
That monster’s name needs to be on the public record! He needs to die in prison!
What do you mean MAY face charges. He did this in front on witnesses and animal control officers at that, who did NOTHING to stop this old immoral asshole. What is that about? There is no excuse for this and that old man needs a bullet between his eyes as he’s wasting air for decent people.
Sounds to ME that there are MORE THAN ONE UNSTABLE NUT CASE THAT were present at the residence… Why the Hell didn’t they return fire on this Evil
Bastard!!!!
Precious little treasures, your lives were stolen from you (& your lives mattered). I am absolutely heartbroken for your trauma & death. The POS who murdered you will burn in Hell forever for his cruelty. I hope he dies alone, afraid in pain and unloved……..
Please look for MacKitty in Heaven and he will welcome you into his snuggle buddies group. You can RIP amongst his loving friends……..
He needs to be tied up and shot to death.. same way he did to these poor dogs. No sympathies for him. He even had 10 starving puppies.
May be charged, guy is a raging loonitic!
Generally I do not agree with the masses on this site but this time I do. He should have been shot as soon as he pulled the trigger on the first dog
WTF officers looked on! So I assume it’s legal to just shot your dog when your tired of it in Michigan humans have a long way to go to understand all life is precious once gone never to return.
