Cocke County, Tennessee – A Tennessee man is facing a felony animal cruelty charge for killing his dog with plans to eat it. According to sources, Eddie McCoig was witnessed killing his dog in late May.
Deputies responded to a home in Newport and learned the man had shot his dog, skinned the dog, placed the dog into a cooler, and admitted that he intended to eat the large breed dog.
As reported by KRCR News, deputies went to the 45-year-old man’s home and he admitted to killing the dog, slitting its throat and placing the body in a cooler. The man consented to letting the deputies open a red cooler where the deceased dog was being stored.
“I told Eddie that I was there to investigate the alleged killing of a dog and then the dog had been skinned,” the officer wrote in the warrant. “Eddie stated (he did shoot his dog, slit its throat, skin it and was going to eat it.)” the warrant states.
McCoig was booked into the Cocke County Jail for felony aggravated animal cruelty.

Kill that evil ugly creep Eddie McCoig!!! That monster belongs in hell!!! There is only one right sentence for that devil: THE DEATH PENALTY!!!!
WHERE IS THE PETITION TO SIGN???????
THIS F**KING HUMAN FILTH SHOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. WHY RISK LETTING THAT MAGGOT’S DNA CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE ???
VIGILANTE JUSTICE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE NEEDED HERE, AUTHORITIES WON’T DO ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH TO PUNISH THIS POS.
Can someone slit this creeps throat and eat him?? There must be a cult related to Jeffery Epstein that can take care of this demon permanently???!!!
Schaut euch diesen erbärmlichen Drecksack doch an um schon alles über diesen Versager zu wissen. Wieder so ein geborener Verlierer, dessen Äußeres und seine beschissene Aufmachung ihn zum Außenseiter machen, für das er jedoch alle anderen beschuldigt und zuletzt seinen bedauernswerten Hund büßen lässt, indem er ihn abschlachtet um ihn zu fressen.
Er selbst ist schlimmer als eine wilde Bestie.
Schaut euch doch diese Missgeburt an, seine beschissene Aufmachung und das ungepflegte Äußere, die ihn zum Außenseiter machen für das er jedoch alle anderen beschuldigt und verantwortlich macht. Der geborene Verlierer, der am Ende seinen bedauernswerten eigenen Hund 🐶 abschlachtet um ihn zu fressen, er selbst ist die Bestie.
