Monster who torched dog gets no bail, no jail, no justice
He kicked a dog to death, lit it on fire, and admitted to it all — yet walked free the same day. If states won’t do it, America needs federal action on animal abuse now.
On July 24 in Queens, New York, a man dragged a pit bull onto a public street, doused the body in a flammable liquid, and lit it on fire. Surveillance footage captured every second. The man responsible later admitted to kicking the dog to death before torching the body.
His face is on video. His confession is in writing. And yet under New York’s laws, this act of pure evil was not bail-eligible. He was released — without bail.
This dog had no voice. But we do. Let’s use it — before the next victim is a child.
This isn’t just a failure of justice. It’s a moral collapse.
As a state legislator and lifelong animal advocate, I’ve seen how animal cruelty is often the first step toward something far worse. The link is well established: Those who torture animals frequently go on to harm children, women, and other vulnerable people — for example, Jeffrey Dahmer. If we ignore the signs, we’re not just failing animals — we’re endangering our communities.
