It seems a new trend, brutally assaulting animals. According to the Philadelphia Welfare Examiner and her sources, a raccoon was hanged from a tree in a park with a stick jammed down its throat. See the linnked article for more information. Now a Louisville, KY woman is facing cruelty charges for beating a dog with a metal object and stabbing it repeatedly with a samarai sword.
37-year old Marilyn Wisehart had lost her cat. When she found it, it was nearly dead in an alley accompanied by two “pit bulls”. She chased the dogs and managed to catch one by the collar. After catching the dog, police report she tied the animal to a fence and beat it. The dog used its only defenses, unable to get free, and attacked her.
After the dog fought back, Wisehart’s son, wielding a samarai sword, stabbed the dog to death. Neighbors noted the dogs had been an issue for months. It is unclear if animal control was aware of the issue right now and Wisehart is being charge with torturing and killing the dog as well as unlawful transaction with a minor.
