Boulder County, Colorado – Police in Boulder County have arrested a man suspected of killing a German shepherd whose body was found in Coal Creek Canyon in June. The discovery of the young dog’s body sparked an animal cruelty investigation which led the police to the arrest of Anthony Holliday.
In early July, the authorities issued a release about the discovery of a young, male, neutered German shepherd on the side of a private road off Coal Creek Canyon Road in unincorporated Boulder County. The police said the dog’s body had “multiple injuries.”
Game cameras captured a suspicious vehicle which aided investigators to the suspect.
This week, the police said:
Animal Control Officer Streit has been diligently working on an animal cruelty case after a deceased German Shepherd was found on the side of the road in Coal Creek Canyon.
Due to all her hard work, she was able to identify a suspect, and obtained a felony arrest warrant for the charge of Aggravated Animal Cruelty. The suspect, Anthony Holliday, was arrested by Denver Police Department last week on the warrant.
Holliday had another German shepherd in his possession when he was arrested. The dog was seized and turned over to a Boulder area animal shelter for care.

I hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist for the violent death of this poor dog. Thank goodness they took the other one away and thank you to ACO Streit for her diligence in finding the piece of dreck.
We urgently need to change our laws to guarantee those harming or killing innocent living beings are dealt with accordingly. Grateful that the surviving dog was taken into custody.

Animal cruelty is a serious crime. Those guilty should never be allowed to have another pet. They should be put in a national database because they are potential serial killers.
I’m glad Holliday was saved from this monster and her abuse ended.
RIP poor pup.
Prosecute this monster to the full extent and he can go to jail and suffer the same fate!!
I hope they determined during their investigation why the man killed the dog. So many animals are killed and thrown away like trash and the guilty party never found. I would like to know what makes someone like that tick. This needs to be studied so in the future we can identify these kind of individuals when they are young before they start hurting and killing animals. If you can ID them say in grade school by administrating physiological testing, they could get mental counseling and have their mindset corrected to stop future serial animal abusers and killers. Too many parents look the other way or say ‘kids are kids’ or ‘don’t know what they doing’ when they shoot a bird with a BB gun or kick the family dog when angry, but some are ticking time bombs that start with animals and move on to killing people.
Felony animal MURDER!!! Max charges and sentencing.
Hang that evil dirt bag Anthony Holliday by his balls and make him suffer!!!!! This is murder and Anthony Holliday deserves the death penalty!!!!
