Ember, a black Labrador, was reported missing by her family on February 28. She was found Wednesday when two boys were riding their motor bikes in the woods behind New Albany School in Cinniminson, NJ and noticed wires sticking out of the ground.
When the boys investigated they found more than they ever expected. Pulling on the wires unearthed the head of the dead black lab, the wires attached to her collar. Authorities were called to the scene and confirmed that it was indeed Ember who was reported missing weeks ago and a necropsy revealed that death was caused by a beating and a .22 shot to the back of her head, execution style.
It didn’t take the police long to track down the abusers who so cruelly and viciously killed Ember, two juveniles, a 15 and 17-year-old. Ember belong to the family of the 15-year-old.
When police brought them into the station, the teens confessed to the crime. “They confessed to me yesterday they went behind Albany school. The one kid took a .22 caliber rifle from his grandfather’s house, brought it in a guitar case behind the school,” said Det. Richard Calabrese of the Cinnaminson Police.
The 15-year-old initially told police that the dog was sick and his family had no money to euthanize the dog but it turned out the dog was just on antibiotics.
It also turns out the these two miscreants, who are also leaders of a self styled criminal street gang with ties to an Aryan Nation group, are no strangers to trouble.
“In the interview, they talked about killing other small animals,” said Det. Calabrese. “It was more like a power trip than a sense of accomplishment.”
They’ve each been charged with charged with Possession of a Weapon, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon on School Property, and Cruelty to Animals and will also face charges connected to their gang affiliation.
“Abusing animals is how it starts,” aid Lt. Col. Sy Goldberg of the NJ SPCA said. “When you take abuse out on an animal it usually eventually leads to similar actions against humans.”
These two little monsters are already well on their way to a life of serious violent crime. At 15 and 17 years old their lives are essentially over unless they make some serious changes and I would like to be more optimistic but at the rate these teens are going, they’re going to wound up in prison before long, not just jail, but prison and if this is the kind of behavior they find preferable, then that’s where they belong and God help them!

Must make thier parents proud that done such a good bringing up thier kids in this way…. these kids are sick and need to put away from the rest of world never to be let out again. Sick just sick
THESE KIDS ARE BEYOND SAVING! IF THEY DID THIS TO A POOR ANIMAL AND FROM WHAT I’VE SMALLER ANIMALS AS WELL…CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THEIR PAPENTS DID TO THEM OR INFRONT OF THEM?
THIS PATHETIC! BARBARIC! BARBARIC! I HOPE THESE POS DO GO TO JAIL!
HA HA HA THEY’LL GET SOMETHING THERE THEY’LL NEVER FORGET!!
I have HAD IT with tall of the animal abuse in this country lately..it is getting out of control and something needs to be done~do you think if we had TOUGHER LAWS this would be happening as much as it has been, it seems every 5 minutes we are hearing of a brutal torture on an animal, these poor animals CRY AND SCRAM out in pain for our HELP and nothing is being done to help them, people are getting slap on the wrist and a fine or maybe probabtion~WOW~they need to go to PRISON for these crimes~not jail ~and the fines need to be HUGE~like ruin your life HUGE~ and screw probation witht he exception it is AFTER THEY SERVE PRISON TIME and there also needs to be an FBO LOG for animal abusers so they are never allowed to own an animal EVER IN THEIR LIFETIME! These 2 teenagers are nothing but LOW LIFE SCUM and need to be taken OUT of our society~what else have they done that people do not know about~any children missing in their town? If so they more then likely had something to do with it and let them go free and they will be the next ING serial killers!
SICK SICK SICK ~ HANG THEM AND HANG THEM HIGH for the whole world to see!
So sad to see the pleasure teens are getting from torturing animals. Parents and grandparents need to be held accountable for much of this -access to the shotgun, watching violence on TV and mindless video games, no family structure, disrespect for life, and the list goes on! And this was the FAMILY DOG??? Michael Vick is probably their role model! These kids knew exactly what they were doing and need jail time. That beautiful dog is finally at rest and free from any more torture, but she deserved a better home. The laws do need to get stronger – maybe someone could create “Ember’s Law” to protect other defenseless souls. RIP sweet girl!
Jen, to a large degree I think family values have disintegrated to such a point today that we are seeing more and more juveniles immersing themselves in gangs and other activities to take the place of what they are missing at home. Kid today are inured to pain and suffering and killing because it’s everywhere you look, TV, video games, internet. When you see something over and over again, everyday, you become desensitized to it and with the lessening of familial support, kids are left with little to go by. Too often parents don’t even know where their children are half the time, even younger children, especially inner city kids. It’s sad and scary and this is our future generation. Makes me shudder.
Of course it’s not all kids or families but it is too many of them…. and we see the results daily.

PS. I like the “Ember’s Law” idea. Many laws do come about because of crimes committed. Something good out of something horrific.
Why can’t we help control the people population? Have your trash spayed or neutered.
I elect the THE EMBER’S LAW as well. OMG…these two need to be shot on site! No forgiveness. They will not change, they will only get worse. I have a 22 as well…..send them to me. I won’t mind a public execution to the back of their heads at all! A lab to boot….you know how I feel about lab’s D…..
This just makes me sick!
When will the law/government bring back public punishment such as the whipping post or branding? I think that these human beasts should be dealt with in this manner. They are a menace to decent human’s and the animal world. Torture them in public and perhaps thiose like them will think twice before they commit these crimes against innocent creatures.
whats the world comeing to in my opinion those little miscreants should have all their limbs tied to motorcycles and ripped off their body i will end them!
Skipper , thats mean , how about stomping on their heads for about 1 hour
These kids are beyond help. They are without a conscience, empathy, compassion. Nothing can be done for them. Society and animals need to be protected from them. They need to be locked up for the rest of their lives.
This is just so sad if they felt no remorse than what could they be capable of next time.
I have a black lab as well. Big cuddly babies they are. They are people dogs all the way. If that was the Dog’s picture above, just let me get my hands on them. They think they are so big and bad with their weapons. Put them in the ring to fight for their lives with NO weapons and let’s see how fast they cry for their mommy’s or daddy’s. They will only go on to kill people too. Dispose of this scum and save everyone some money in the long run.
IS thre an update on this?
