A 28-year-old man allegedly seen on video dragging a puppy on a leash has been charged with two counts of felony animal cruelty, Los Angeles police said Wednesday.
Video images and witness statements show that Dossey James repeatedly dragged the bleeding puppy on the street and a sidewalk because the animal refused to walk, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Department officials said people increasingly are using smart phones to record acts of animal cruelty.
"This valuable evidence has contributed greatly to the identification of suspects and criminal charges of animal cruelty being filed," LAPD officials said in a statement.
Members of the department's Animal Cruelty Task Force arrested James on Jan 3. in South Los Angeles.
This really isn't that big of a deal. Ever been to a puppy mill??

Stories like this just hurt me especially that I have animals of my own. My girlfriend also showed me earlier of a dog that got a chainsaw to it's face because he knocked over it's owners beer. I never understood how some humans just don't have compassion for animals especially when wounded.
You know what's weird? I have more compassion for animals then I do humans. I doubt I'd be able to hurt a dog or cat, but I could easily hurt a person who did so. I have no idea why either.

I hope you don't mind if I take a whack at that one for ya ?
In a word, I'd say, innocence. I have the same feelings you describe
and it's the same with lil kids and babies. Seeing, or even hearing,
of them being hurt, by a grown human being, brings out the most
evil rage I've ever felt. I feel like I've been lucky not to be around
something like this, when it was go'in on. I'd get put away. No doubt.
