A Melbourne, FL woman was taking her trash out to a dumpster on Tuesday evening when she heard the sounds of whining coming from inside. When she investigated, she found a little beagle-mix puppy tied inside a plastic garbage bag with a sock stuffed in its mouth. The puppy was barely alive at the time and she called Animal Services immediately after rescuing it and removing the sock.
Brevard County Animal Services rushed the puppy to a vet where it was placed in an incubator but the 3-month-old beagle-mix did not survive.
Police in the meantime had continued the investigation and in the garbage bag they found some names and evidence leading them to arrest 20-year-old Daniel Ham, who has been charged with felony animal cruelty.
Ham, who also has a 2007 battery conviction, was booked into Brevard County Detention Center and held on a $2000 bond.
No word on whether Ham is the owner of the puppy or why he would so cruelly and deliberately kill the innocent and defenseless baby. I don’t even want to try to imagine the horror and suffering that little puppy went through stuffed in a plastic bag, a sock jammed in its mouth, barely able to breathe, struggling with every ouch of effort in it’s tiny body. What kind of a sick SOB does it take to do something so heartless??

OMG!!! this is horrible. poor baby.
this is nearly how i found my Bear in 1982. i found her n 5 of her littermates in a chicago dumpster in a bitter cold november. i could only take 1 puppy but i did call anti cruelty n they came n took the other babies. i had Bear for 14 years n it turned out she knew when i was gonna have a seizure. she wassn’t in a bag or had a sock in her mouth but the puppies were only about2 weeks old. their eyes n ears were not open at that time n the temp was in the -0 degrees….i HATE cruel ppl. they need 2 b wiped out.
dru, Thank you for saving Bear and his siblings, You are a good person : )
Andrea, your Bear sounds like my Knight!
As far as the little pup goes, RIP little one. You did not deserve what was dealt to you.
As for the JERK who did this to the little one, he needs some mental help. How anyone can harm a little pup (or any living creature) is beyond my comprehension.
I hope the prosecuting attorney sticks to his/her guns and sends this looney to jail for a long time. Since he has had a history of battery (on whom we don’t know – but it is there), he should not see the light of day for a long long time.
It is so much easier to be nice to others – others being any living being; two legged or four legged.
What a surprise! This loser coward has a previous felony battery conviction in 2007! I hope this judge locks him up in PRISON SO HE CAN MEET SOME NEW FRIENDS THAT WILL LOVE TO SEE THIS COWARD COMING! Look at the abuse and sodomy cases listed above. I hope all of you will take the time to write the judges in all of the cases and maybe together we can get through to this judges that the act is a felony for a good reason and treat him like afelon .not a slap on the wrist!
GIVE HIM TIME let some fella’s beat him up in there and stick his head in a bag. I DO NOT know how anyone could not want/hurt/harm/kill any animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The poor, poor little pup. I wish so much it could have survived and found a loving home instead of going to The Rainbow Bridge this way. Damn these people! I just get so upset about so many horrible people out there doing these terrible, cruel things. Maybe, someday, we will be able to (as the people against this torment on animals) be allowed to deal out the punishment we see fit. Wouldn’t that be sweet revenge?
Very Sweet Indeed : )
OMG what a POS. A mental hospital would be too good for him. He should be put away for a long time and with someone that truly loves animals and gets the full story. I think they will take care of him. The poor baby didn’t have a chance. I can’t believe we have such cowards in this world that can’t seem to harm anything except poor defenseless animals. These people don’t even need to be in circulation at all. The people that get their kicks from animals abuse are most definitely sick pieces of trash. The world has enough trash in it, let alone people like this. Time to clean the world of all it’s trash.
No, he should have a rag stuffed in his pie hole, put into a plastic bag and thrown into a trash dumpster (Where He Belongs) untill he exspires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moe, I love your sentence “time to clean the world of all it’s trash” – problem with that is, there would be only a few select people left in the world!!!
Select is good : )Susie.
They just need to take every single one of these stupid SOB’s and put them out of their sic waste of space existance.Do them a favor and the rest of the world to. Creatures like these people, that are going around, breathing good air ~ are an insult as well as a plague upon the face of this earth. The animal, child, spouse abusers etc., all fall under this cure. I’m personally sic to death of this trash that seems never have anything done to them. And its about time there was something done. Point blank. They take a life, then they forfeit theirs. Done and done. All of them!They deserve absolutely no compassion and believe me when I say this, they would get none from me. My compassion is reserved for the innocent victims.
When it comes to prosecution of individuals who commit animal cruelty the judge can only give the person a sentence based upon what the current law dictates. The judge may be just as disgusted about what has occurred as we are, but s/he has a legal obligation to enforce current law and nothing more.
If you and I do not like the weak sentences people get for horrendous acts of cruelty against innocent animals, then we must be willing to work on raising standards for stiffer penalities. It takes a longterm committment to enact legislation and will not include any warm fuzzies that so many of us crave and get through rescue and adoption.
Working on passing legislation and ultimately getting laws passed saves thousands of animals, not just one or two.
What a sick motherf#%ker. That makes me so mad when i hear about stuff like this. As a pet owner and outdoorsman I love, respect, and admire all critters. That SOB/POS needs taken out to the desert tied to the ground with his stomach cut open just enough so he’s still alive but his inerds are hanging out. Then let the coyotes and buzzards finish him off.
I cant even imagine water that poor pup was going through, makes me sick just thinking about it.
