Owner surrenders dog after beating video goes viral

Update: Sheriff Bailey said the dog was turned over to his department. Dog will be evaluated by a vet.

This video of a man spanking, beating, striking, hitting -whatever you want to call it- his dog made the social media rounds tonight:




Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey sent this message to JJ:

 I am aware of the video and the concerns about the welfare of the animal. There is a legal process which must be followed in this case along with every criminal case. There is something that can be done about the animal and start the legal process. A report has been filed with the sheriff’s office, the next step is for the person who took the video or person who witnessed the incident to go to the Rankin County Justice Court when it opens at 8:00 AM  and file charges against the suspect for misdemeanor animal cruelty. For those of you unfamiliar with our legal system, an officer cannot file charges against a person for a misdemeanor crime if it did not happen in the officer’s presence.  Once the affidavit is filed it will be up to a judge to issue a warrant or not. In this case if a judge issues a warrant, the sheriff’s office will ask for a seizure order to take the animal, have it examined by a vet and held as evidence.

The best thing for everyone concerned is for the dog owner to surrender the dog.

Fucking asshole.

Seeing this just hurts my heart.
Is this how the "man" reacts when he becomes upset? Is this how he treats his children and wife? This poor dog has no choice but to take the blows from this maniac. The dog is a prisoner and a punching bag. I have no doubt this isn't the first time the dog has been beaten.
Clearly, the sicko has no impulse control and is a danger to all.
Someone please file charges and have the demon arrested- and the dog a new and loving home.

I hope the son of a b---- that beat this defenseless animal goes to jail for a few years. That will give his worthless a-- some time to think about who he wants to beat on next.

KF-please keep us updated on this story.

Hard to believe it's ib Rankin county. I suppose his wife wasn't home to take the beating.

I'm happy to start my day with this good news.
May the dog now find a home where love is abundant and life will be joyful.
As far as the "man", let justice stick in his craw for a long time.
He likely won't change his behavior. Often these types have behaved this way since childhood.
An Animal Abuser List should be developed that requires those convicted of crimes against animals to register and have no contact with any animals EVER.

Animal rescue organizations like Cheshire Abbey see this kind of horrific abuse all the time. The public is justifiably enraged, wishing all sorts of in-kind punishment for the abuser. Yet when it comes to sending a few bucks to the brave people who save these poor animals, we start looking at our watch and remembering we need to be somewhere else. Worse, when we try to get stronger anti-cruelty measures passed by the legislature, the people who complain the loudest when videos like this surface suddenly have too much to do to simply pick up the phone and call their representatives or drop them an e-mail. I'm fine with your anger, but DO something. Donate to the rescue of your choice and get behind the efforts to demand greater punishment for this type of behavior. Bill Billingsley

Thank you 8:25. That truly is the only way I can glean a positive from this. Many thanks also to the person who videotaped this abuse.

Sad thing is there is nothing stopping this lunatic from getting another dog free off of Craigslist before lunchtime today.

When you can legally do so, would you please release this guy's name? I'd have to think his employer would like to know what a psycho he has in his employ.

You can find his name in the story comments @ WLBT.

He should be treated the same way he treated this defenseless animal....times two. Does anyone know his address?

9:19 -- Thanks Bill! I might not agree with you politically at times, but you are absolutely correct in your summation on this topic.

I would wish this monster a slow and horrible death, involving but not limited to his shriveled balls being crushed in a mammogram machine (he will have to stand on a stool,but he can have a rope around his neck to steady him). If he hollers, make him pay---by kicking that stool out from under him. I would wish this, but unfortunately there is not a pit in Hell hot enough for him. So, yeah, 10:59, what you said. Throw his sorry ass in jail STAT.

There is a special place in Hell for folks that abuse their pets and children. Hope this man has a fast pass there.

And once again, no one is talking about how this is simply a misdemeanor and not a felony.
Our legislature did a piss poor job on this statute:

97-41-16
aggravated cruelty is punishable by 6 months in jail and/or $2,500 fine.

It's time Richard Wilson prosecute someone correctly for this. Give him the 6 months. The statute allows it yet no one ever gets it.

The difference between Hinds and Rankin. Rankin takes the dog and cares for it. In Jackson, Animal Control would just shoot it.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
