A 33-year-old man in the Bronx is facing a charge of felony animal cruelty for allegedly stabbing his friend’s young dog 55 times. According to the New York Times, the accused man, identified as Stephen Richardson, repeatedly stabbed his friend’s 18-month-old pit bull, Onyx, until she died.

The accused dog killer allegedly attacked Onyx after the dog bit him while they were playing at a park in late December. Richardson admitted to hitting the dog while they were at the park and then later, “took him out of his misery” with a knife in the bathtub of his residence. The dog suffered multiple stab wounds on his face and neck. Onyx’s owner found her bloodied and mangled dog in Richardson’s bathtub later the same day.

The authorities arrested Richardson on December 29 – the day of the deadly incident. If convicted of the felony charge, Richardson could face up to two years in prison.

  1. I hope he gets stabbed to death in prison so he can see what that poor baby went through, only I hope he gets it up the ass first. We don’t need low life scums like that breathing air.

  2. Hope Stephen Richardson gets dissected in prison. We will be watching courts as this cannot develop into a minor punishment. Poor innocent Onyx never had a chance with this dumb ass.

  3. Please, release his name and address so his neighbors can give him the justice he really deserves. He is a coward and feels like a big man killing his friends dog like this. Do not leave him out with any children because he would do something to them if they bit his finger. What a slime and deserves justice by inmates. They will take good care of him. RIP Onyx, you were not to have your life end so soon and so violently where you suffered immeasurable pain by the psycho. His family and friends need to shun him and never have, even his enemies, talk to him. Do the same to him that he did to Onyx.

  4. Could spend 2 years in prison::: What the HELL HERE he shouldn’t even be allowed out on bail!!! This is one SICKO SOB!!!! 55 times … Golly I hope someone doesn’t may this Psychopath a Little Angry… our he could do a BATES MOTEL JOB ON THEM!!! that poor,poor, little pup only 18 months old and to meet her demise by this EVIL BASTARD !!! YOU who are in the JUDCIAL SYSTEM NEED to STAND UP FOR COMPANION ANIMAL”S MUCH BETTER THAN YOU DO!!!

    • If the dog bit him..don’t you think he should have complained to the owner and not have stabbed him? Something tells me the owner was not not concerned.

  5. I hope prison and its current inmates physically show him the error of his ways. Stabbing that poor baby 55 times!!!! What a horrendous death. Karma is coming. For this amount of brutality and receive just 2 years is insane!

  6. RIP Onyx! I think this man either was not bitten or provoked it as an excuse to brutally murder another living being! My only questions are why are they allowing him to continue to live and are there any missing people he may have also killed?

    • That stupid bitch gave him drugs thats why he did that anna rivera. Then he found her sucking cock so he took his anger out on onyx stupid. Ass homeless people they both stupid ass crackheads dirtyass niggas

      • Anna rivera gave the crackhead drugs. They both homeless dopeheads. Why would u leave ur dog with a bumass crackhead because u give him drugs to take care of ur dog. U stupid ass ho

  7. TWO YEARS IN PRISON! IF THIS PSYCHO STABBED A STUPID HUMAN 55 TIMES HE WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS A MURDERER AND POSSIBLY LIFE IN PRISON, BUT FOR A DOG TWO FUCKING YEARS IS BS. HOPE SOMEBODY STABS THIS POS COWARD.

  8. That dog was dy ing anyway she didnt feed it anything them bumass crackhead s are homeless why do u even own a dog. If u cant take care of yourself Why Would U Be Able To Take Care Of A Dog. Dirty Ass Bums. Eat Shit And Did

  9. Another hunk of maggot shit who deserves to be hogtied and dumped off the highest building in the Bronx. Two years is no more than a slap on the wrist – Richardson is a danger to all, animals and humans. His actions are so cruel and ridiculous – there was no reason for stabbing Onyx 55 times – not even one time. I hope there is a shank in jail awaiting him. He deserves no less.

  10. Really!!! Two years is a joke. The pain this dog went through is enormous. Can only hope he gets like treatment in jail for its certain the law won’t give justice.
