Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania – A 29-year-old Pennsylvania man is facing multiple animal-cruelty related charges resulting from him “punting” a small, emaciated dog in the parking lot of an Econo-lodge Motel. According to the authorities, Bijay Poudel was observed “drop-kicking” a small, white dog at the motel in Mechanicsburg on March 5.
An officer with the Saint Francis Humane Society Police Department responded to an animal cruelty call at the motel located in the 600 block of Gettysburg Road in Upper Allen Township. The eyewitness told the officer that a man threw and “football kicked” the small dog and the dog limped away and collapsed in the rainy parking lot.
The dog’s owner, Poudel, admitted to the police officer that he “punted” the dog into a door because it was playing in the rain. Poudel allegedly exhibited how he kicked the little dog to the officer investigating the incident.
The injured dog was retrieved and taken to an emergency veterinarian where it was determined to be “dangerously underweight,” and suffering from multiple injuries and signs of neglect including broken blood vessels in its eyes and bloody stools, which were likely caused by “head or neck trauma,” dirty, matted fur, and overgrown nails.
Poudel was arrested and is facing charges, including cruelty to animals, neglect of animals- veterinary care, and neglect of animals- shelter protection. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on April 30 at 2:15 p.m.

Why don’t you show the abusers mugshot? It could be stated that they are “innocent until proven guilty” a little embarrassment could go a long way for animal cause.
Tierquälerei ist ein ernstzunehmendes Verbrechen und sollte auch als solches mit größter Härte bestraft werden. Perverse Sadisten, die ihre kranken Neigungen andere, zumeist hilflose Lebewesen zu quälen, an Tieren ausleben sind eine Gefahr für Kinder und schwächere Menschen.
Das ist eine erwiesene Tatsache und schon deshalb ein Grund Tierquäler hart zu bestrafen.

People continue abusing, torturing, and killing animals every day simply because they know there is no real punishment if caught. The laws for crimes against animals in our country are nothing more than a joke. Until this changes; innocent animals will continue to suffer day after day at the hands of sadistic individuals.
PLZ do the same exact thing to this nasty demon..that he did to this poor little pup….PLZ find the little pup another place to be….bijay poudel needs to receive the same treatment then put in prison for a very long time and not allowed to own or be around animals again…Nasty Bastard POS!!!
