Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Pitbull Puppy Suffered Chronic and Constant Abuse at Hands of Owner

Update 10/13/09 – Tough Guy Who Chronically Abused Puppy Gets 30 Days Jail

George Davis of Clackamus, OR has been arrested and charged with for animal abuse in the second degree and animal neglect in the first degree after a pitbull puppy, which rescuers named Sierra, was found with injuries that Oregon Humane Society investigators say show chronic and constant abuse.

“The x-rays revealed that this puppy has multiple fractures of the ribs, fractures to both eye sockets, front of the skull and right front leg,” said Dr. Otteman, OHS Director of Shelter Medicine. “It is unfathomable to me that someone could hurt a defenseless puppy.”

Investigators say that Davis told them he know the puppy was injured but he didn’t bother to get help or treatment for her.

OHS investigators say that due to the extent and severity of Sierra’s injuries, they would recommend that the district attorney seek harsher penalties against Davis.

The citation for animal abuse in the second degree is based on evidence indicating the suspect acted with the intent to cause physical injury to an animal. Davis will likely face charges of animal abuse in the first degree if the injuries sustained indicate protracted impairment for this puppy. The Oregon Humane society is recommending additional charges to the Clackamas County District Attorney based on medical findings and statements. Animal abuse in the second degree is punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine; first degree animal abuse is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of $6,250. The arrest for neglect was based on the fact that Davis commented that he knew the puppy was injured but did not seek medical care for her. (KLX.com)

And as we so often see in cases like these, despite the chronic abuse, the pain and suffering this poor little girl has went through, she is still sweet and friendly.

Davis also has two domestic abuse arrest against him previously that were dropped prior to trial. “This is further evidence of the link between abuse to animals and abuse towards humans,” said Sharon Harmon, OHS Executive Director. “The level of injuries to Sierra is shocking, but not surprising given the level of cruelty she has been subjected to, yet she remains a friendly playful pup.”

Just look at that little puppy, that sweet face, how tiny she is.  It take a sick and warped person to inflict such cruelty against such and innocent and defenseless animal.  George Davis is obviously a waste of human life and a bully who will only take out his aggressions against those weaker then him; women and animals.  Time to have him face someone who can actually defend themselves and see how he fares against someone who isn’t weak and defenseless.

At least we can be thankful Sierra is out of this piece of trash’s hands and will have a chance to find a new home where she will finally get a chance to experience all the love, coddling and care and puppy should know from the start!

    I am sick of these low life losers abusing animals or woman , I say it over and over , they need a good beating and the bully in him will disappear. Look at this perfect pup , the only good thing is it was caught before the dog was killed and he may enjoy a good home , as they have a way of coming back strong

      Terry, yes, she is one of the lucky ones, thank God! Most likely she’ll receive little justice from our judicial system but we can be thankful that she was rescued in time because there’s no doubt in my mind that she would have been just a statistic before much longer.

      This waste of human life needs to have a hard lesson taught to him…. maybe Karma will step in and show some real justice.

    I say he goes to the island with the rest of the scum. OMG, she was just a puppy. Does this man think it makes him more of a man to abuse those that can’t fight back. Beating him won’t solve anything he needs to be removed from society.

    • Terry

      Beating him would feel good though , as he will not be removed from society EG. Michael Vick

    • Admin

      Men like this who lack something need to bully those weaker to make them feel powerful. They would never stand up to a real man and a real man probably wouldn’t bother because he would know it wasn’t worth wasting his time. Like to see him removed from society alright!

      D.

    We see this over and over again and all they get is a slap on the wrist. When the hell is the justice system going to wake up. It makes me crazy.

    There is no reason for abuse- human or animal. Anyone who would do thisto a livin creatueshld be hoored with the SAME type of outcome.
    May they rot in hell

    Awww poor little Sierra. Look at that darlin’ little face. How could anyone hurt this precious little baby? I just came up with a terrific idea for these freakin cruel idiots that continually abuse our beautiful four leggers. How about, we put them in a ring with pittbulls that have been abused at the hands of these monsters, and let the pitty’s have their revenge and rid this kind of trash out of our society? Tear them to shreds…piece by piece. A hunk of skin flying here and there, an arm flinging over there, an eyeball shooting out of the ring….oh, I could just go on and on at how I could see these POS’s suffer and die a horrendous, painful, slow, death at the teeth and claws of the dogs they abused. Hopefully, it won’t make them a meaner dog by doing this, just give the dog pure satisfaction. Sorta like all of us that want to beat the crap out of these slime balls!

    • dru

      way 2 go, Jessie. but let’s not put them in with dogs let’s put them in with each other…fight 2 the death n the 1 that’s left get put in 1 of those gas chambers…i don’t think the dogs would have that satisfaction that we’d get….

    It is unbelievable to think that a big bully would pick on something smaller and trusting and defenseless. I doubt he would pick on something his own size, of course not because he might get his butt kicked to the ends of the earth, what a great idea, wait till he meets his new friends in prison, haha. they dont take too lightly to abusing children, women. I hope we get an update on this monster while he is in prison to find out about his doom day. Pitbull puppies are like all other puppies, playfull, cute. It is what humans or monsters do with them. Wonder what the heck he was smoking or what was in his water when he decided to think this was fun. People who hurt animals hurt people, it is a statistic. Sick SOB
