In a New Castle, PA neighborhood, Larry Tanner was cleaning brush when he discovered a horrific scene, two pitbulls with heavy chains and collars, chained to a tree, starved to death. Food and water bowls were placed just inches from their reach.
The dogs had died a horrible painful long suffering death.
The house on the property was tagged as unfit to live in and no one had live there for at least a year. Police did track down the last occupant of the house though, Anthony Booker, who did claim the dogs as his.
He claimed not to have chained the dogs to the trees. He’s been charged with two counts of animal cruelty.
How can someone leave two dog to die, claim them and then say he didn’t chain them? If he didn’t then who did? Even regardless of who chained them, although I’m sure none of us really believe he didn’t, why did this low-life piece of garbage just leave them to die the horrible death they died.
There is no reason or excuse that anyone can possibly give to negate to horrific cruelty!
Some people don’t deserve the honor and gift of pets and it’s quite obvious that Anthony Booker is one of them. He needs to be in a cage where he belongs. Maybe someone should chain him up for a while, within inches of food and water so he gets a taste of what he put those poor dog through.

WTF HE DIDN’T CHAIN THEM WELL I GUESS THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES AYE. I’D LOVE TO CHAIN THIS POS TO A TREE & PUT FOOD & WATER RIGHT OUT OF HIS REACH & SEE HOW HE LIKES DYING A SLOW VERY PAINFUL DEATH. I SWARE WHY CAN’T WE DO TO THESE POS WHAT THEY DO TO THEIR FUR BABIES. REMEMBER “AN EYE FOR AN EYE”
May he burn in HELL!!
This is just horrible.I can’t imagine doing anything like this.This guy need to be punished severly for what he did.
I am with Janet. Chain this POS to a tree and let him see how it feels. All abusers should get the same treatment they dish out whether it human or animal. Maybe then and only then will people start to shape up. If you burn someone or an animal alive, then you shall pay in the same way. If you beat someone or an animal to death, then that should be your punishment. The list goes on and on. Something has to be done to wake people up. Animals as a whole generally don’t attack people unless they have been severly abused and are just trying to protect themselves. This madness has to stop. Do they think this will get them notariaty? Not sure of some of my spelling here so bare with me.
How can people do this?!And I agree…People deserve exactly what they dish out!!Start giving some real punishments and I’ll bet you’ll see a lot less crap going on in this world!!Why have dogs..just nevermind…My language is about to deteriorate..Again!!I’m so over people!!
I had a hard time with this, and had to think about it overnight. One thing that bothers me tremendously is that I am sure the dogs were barking at some point when they had been left alone – chained outside. Didn’t any of the neighbors or anyone in the area investigate themselves or call the police or animal control?
I was deeply disturbed that two innocent dogs died in such an inhumane way. I agree that that this man should receive the same as he gave these innocent pups. And Kerry, I agree that punishments against animal abusers should be more than just a slap on the wrist. You are correct in saying that if punishments were more severe, people would think twice (hopefully) about doing such disgusting things to any animal.
Personally, I would rather spend time with animals than people. They are naturally loving, compassionate and giving, without expecting anything but love, food and people parents who will give them the best life has to offer.
I now think that at least 50 percent of the human population on earth is just scum (or worse than scum). It is heartbreaking to know that so many “people” are just plain horrible and evil, with NO redeeming value whatsoever. This man is one of them.
I wholeheartedly agree with every one of the above comments.
The more I hear about “people” the more I love animals….
The one thing that really gets me about these cases, where are the neighbours ??? Can’t they see these poor babies dying in front of their eyes ??? Doesn’t take much to pick up the phone does it ?? God help us all….
As I sit here my stomach is growling with hunger and all I need to do is stop and go into my kitchen and fix myself some food, but those two chained creatures of God, were totally helpless and died slowly of starvation. Not much will probable happen to Anthony, the scum who abandoned the dogs. Animals have little protection under our current laws.
All who are disgusted by this neglect and the other never-ending stories of cruelty need to join the Animal Legal Defense Fund. It is an organization of attorneys and other non-legal animal lovers who work to tighten current laws, prosecute cruelty cases and intiate new legislation to protect animals. Find them at http://www.ALDF.org. Their motto is, “Abuse an Animal Go to Jail.” I couldn’t agree more!
Disgusting…and yes, where were the neighbours ?
Another sick sign of a human being. I often wonder what kind of star these sickos were born under. It must have ben a fallen one. Jail is too good for this POS. May he rot in hell.
PS
Heard on the news yesterday, that Vick will be on house arrest for a short while and then realeased back into society to do his dirty deeds. I don’t get it. What the hell does this say to the children of the world? That you can be a famous football player and have a pitbull fighting ring and all is good and okay? This makes my skin crawl.
