It only took less than an hour on Tuesday evening, when an American immigrant to Tel Aviv videoed himself abusing his dog to get back at his ex-girlfriend, for a mob of nearly 200 people to arrive at the suspect’s private residence in Bat Yam to rescue the dog and administer their own justice.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Alan Ross Morrison, 30 was arrested and the dog named Taylor was safely rescued and examined by the Agriculture Ministry. Although Taylor was very timid when first removed from Morrison’s home, he has since relaxed and is reportedly doing fine.
Two videos released on social media by Dennis Charkov showed the egregious abuse:

The first video showed the suspect repeatedly thrashing Taylor while the dog cowered and cried in both fear and pain.
The second video showed Taylor muzzled and his feet restrained with rope, while his abuser beat the defenseless dog on the abdomen. The heartbreaking cries of the dog screaming in pain outraged everyone who viewed the video.
Police officers were sent to the scene and were unable to reach Morrison as the crowd of furious animal lovers arrived and demanded justice as they tried to enter the man’s home in what could have turned into a public lynching news sources stated.
Officers were able to drag Morrison out through a window and arrest him. He remains in custody and has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Taylor was originally adopted from the SPCA of Israel and will be transferred to one of the country’s animal welfare groups where he will be made available for adoption.
“It turns out the dog has a very good and strong character, and he’s very grateful,” stated the Agriculture Ministry veterinarian Dr. Dagnit Ben-Dov.
Advocates are reaching out for stronger animal cruelty laws. Every country should re-evaluate their animal cruelty laws. It has been proven that people who abuse their pets, are likely to abuse other humans – especially women and children.

THE EVIL LUNATIC SNOULD BE BEATEN AND DRAGGED ALL THE WAY TO HELL!
WE use to do this type of local justice. WHAT HAS HAPPENED AMERICA? Where is that FIGHTING spirit to put ALL thugs where they belong, which is NOT in OUR communities RAPING, BEATING and MAIMING YOUNG CHILDREN, WOMEN and ALL SORTS OF ANIMALS. Saw a video where a group of young African Americans caught one of THEIR OWN beating, dragging and torturing his dog and this group showed the TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT by putting the CHOKE collar on that DEMON THUG and dragged HIM around while asking HIM if it felt good and if he thought it was proper treatment. YES! Come on America, we can ALL band together to push back those trying to divide us. Please don’t fall for it anymore, PLEASE.
