Investigation into woman punching German shepherd
Spread the love

An animal cruelty investigation has been instigated following the circulation of a video showing a woman repeatedly punching a German shepherd in the face. The video has been widely shared on Facebook and it has sparked a great deal of outrage from those who have watched.

The video shows a woman in a tank top and pants, wearing boxing gloves, and repeatedly punching a German shepherd in the face. Comments range from “Not cool!” and “Why are people so horrible, fine her!” to a majority which cannot be repeated here.

On Monday evening, the Idaho Humane Society indicated that an investigation into the situation has been started, writing:

There is a video circulating through social media which we will not repost due to its content which originated in the Treasure Valley. It has been shared through many social media networks and our Animal Care and Control office is receiving an overwhelming number of phone calls and emails.

We started an official investigation as a result of this video. This morning the individual was identified and we sent a Humane Officer to discuss the situation. The investigation is currently pending review at the local prosecutor’s office for a charging decision.

Explaining the potential charges the woman could face:

The statute the prosecutor may decide to cite with is: 25-3518. BEATING AND HARASSING ANIMALS. Every person who cruelly whips, beats or otherwise maliciously treats any animal, or maliciously harasses with a dog any cattle, horses, sheep, hogs or other livestock shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be punished in accordance with section 25-3520A, Idaho Code.

The shelter has requested that nobody call them about this video because it is tying up their phone lines.

  1. WHY do this cruel act???

    This useless POS has just secured a reserved spot in the hottest part of Hell where she will burn forever for her cruelty.

    Hope the dog is found ASAP, treated, heals and is rehomed ASAP into a loving furever family where he will be treated as a beloved family member.
