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.

MY GOD! WHAT THE EFFING F*CK!
JAIL, NOW! FOR A LOOONG TIME AND BIG FINES!
MAY HE SUFFER THE WHOLE TIME HE’S IN THERE!
LOT’S OF PAIN AND BUSE TO HIM!
IF HE GETS OUT ALIVE, MAY HE NEVER, EVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE, BE NEAR OR WORK WITH
ANY ANIMALS EVER AGAIN!
LOOK LIKE A FUCKIN METH HEAD DRUG ADDICT
WOW, SICK, DANGEROUS AND NOT TO MENTION A FUCKIN PSYCHOPATH. Needs to be out of society!!
This is a disgusting POS called a man. A perfect example of animal torture before moving on to others. He needs prosecuted to the full extent of the law and put away from society.
That poor dog probably trusted this total piece of manure.
Sick person. Prison time and psychiatric evaluation. NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANY ANIMALS EVER AGAIN!!!
Generations of inbreeding created this walking piece of pure shit.
Vigilante justice is what he needs – someone quietly just shoot, shovel and shut up about what happened to him.
YES!
Isn’t that how Geoffrey Dommer started out? That should tell authorities to remove him from society now & permanently.
Yes, Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy tortured and killed animals before they moved on to killing humans. Almost all serial killers have a history of torturing and killing animals, as described by FBI profilers.

That psycho should be placed in a mental institution for the rest of his life. He is a very dangerous man.
The poor dog had the unfortunate union with someone that wanted it for a meal.
Just retarded and unnecessary.
qu’il crève ce fils de pute et vite ! enfoiré d’ordure de pourriture de déchet humain
That POS is a danger to all. He needs to be permanently removed from this planet. Better yet, send him to one of those islands where they practice cannabilism so he knows what that poor dog felt.
What a winner! How could such a good looking guy not be successful
Somebody put this reject out of his misery!
BACKWOODS INBRED VILE MOTHERFUCKER
JUST HANG YOURSELF

This piece of garbage doesn’t deserve to walk the planet or breath the air. Just end his life and save time and money from the legal system. Bless that innocent dog who ended up with a sick monster like this.
I know right. that’s sick as hell. I hope someone does the exact same thing to that piece of human scum 💩
Boy, talk about an ugly, worthless, piece of filth living in our society!!! That he did such a sick, heinous act proves he is a definite menace to society and most definitely to other animals. Please do not allow him to continue to live free ever again. Show this SOB he cannot get away with this. While in prison feed this scum only roadkill if he was as intent as he’s pretending to be on eating his own dog and keep him in solitary. He deserves no compassion or empathy.
Well said Stephanie
I know right. that’s sick as hell. I hope someone does the exact same thing to that piece of human scum 💩
Okay, this is just SO MORALLY WRONG on SO MANY LEVELS. If there was a case where someone needs to be removed from society I can’t think of any more heinous than this. Throw this monster in prison with an animal loving cellmate and let them know exactly what this POS did. They would give him a nice, warm prison welcome. They will even provide their own shiv.
what a waste of space in this world for such a worthless piece of shit. Do the world a favor and someone slit his throat!!
It’s bad enough that they skin pets/animals alive overseas but now here? The laws to protect our pets/animals need to change and be more ruthless to people like this. That poor dog trusted him and he does that to the poor dog, makes my skin crawl. He needs to get slapped with the full extent of the law as well as to never own a pet/animal ever again and that also means goldfish. I just signed a petition on a 31 year old POS Monster/woman grabbed her cat by the jaw/neck and slammed her down multiple times and recorded it and left the cat permanently paralyzed 😭 WTH is this world turning into?? This is NOT the world I want to be in.
This man/monster should be treated the same torture that he did to his dog, Period. Put on an island where all the others are with no animals are, so they can either kill themselves for food or starve to death. Like someone said on here, shoot, shovel and shut up.
There is no words for this subhuman piece of shit! He needs to stay in jail forever. There’s something demented and wrong with him. He knows what he did and he probably enjoyed it. He can’t even look at the camera, horrible disgraceful there’s not enough adjectives to describe this person.!!
You can look at this character and see that he is a mental case. But he needs to be placed somewhere out of society and away from people and animals. If they executed him, it would not bother me, but they won’t do that because of his mind. But because of his mind he is dangerous. We have too many like him that is out and about. Something needs to be done.
what a disgusting individual. Hopefully if he ever gets out prison that he is never allowed to own a dog again. Just the loser’s looks makes me sick.
I think you mean this lunatic should never be allowed to own ANY ANIMALS again. Too bad for him he wasn’t born in a country where these atrocities are commonplace! Since he wasn’t, just
execute him!
