Punta Gorda, Florida – A six-week-old puppy suffered a brutal death at the hands of a Florida man who repeatedly punched it. According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, 53-year-old Neil R. Puterbaugh was arrested on September 15 after a crime tip was reported to the authorities.
In a release, the violent encounter was recounted, describing what video footage captured:
(Puterbaugh) repeatedly and forcefully striking his six-week-old puppy. This violence continued, along with additional abuse, until the helpless animal had died.
Shockingly, though the puppy was only six weeks of age, additional videos were found showing Puterbaugh abusing the pup.
Puterbaugh was arrested on felony Aggravated Animal Cruelty charges and Violation of Probation.
Sheriff Bill Prummell said:
“My heart hurts for what this sweet puppy endured. There is no excuse for abuse of this kind, and I believe the only word to describe it is ‘evil’. Thank you to the person who reported this, and to our media partner who shared it with us to investigate. I wish we could have known sooner so that maybe we could have prevented this terrible outcome. I pray this puppy is now playing free for eternity in a world without pain and fear.”

I agree! Give him the same treatment. I would gladly assist!!!
I don’t understand. Why don’t they just kill people like that? You know he’s gonna do something similar to another animal if not a human. He has no value to this world and there are too many many people in this world already. Why do we need to keep him around! If he doesn’t get serious jail time, the rescue ninjas will take care of him!
I agree. get rid of all humans that harm innocent beings.
WORTHLESS WHITE MALE FILTH
Just another worthless white piece of shit that gets to live in America. He looks disgusting and guess what???? He will probably be let go with a slap on the wrist just to go do this again. If it was up to me I would personally shoot the bastard!!!!

What excuse did this total POS have to beat a baby to death? He is supposed to be a rational adult. walk out, put the puppy outside, leave the room. No his choice was to physically beat to death a living being. If he owns anything Take it. Use the funds to help other abused animals. Heavy Fines. Prison, in the general population. And NEVER allow this scum near another animal of any kind!
aren’t there people who take care of monsters like that yet?
if not, I’d like to join the team.

He has no remorse in his eyes. He is evil. A person like this does not do something like this out of the blue. He’s most likely done evil things before and has not been punished appropriately or held accountable for it.
Our society is making these monsters by not having consequences that matter or that will make a difference.
He should have been killed a long time ago. Unfortunately I’m sure many souls have suffered at the hands of this monster. Not just this innocent little baby. I’m ashamed to be a human.
IF I COULD I WOULD KILL HIM MYSELF, BUT THAT IS ILLEGAL.
WHAT SHOULD BE A CRIME IS THAT HE IS RELEASED INTO THE COMMUNITY AGAIN.
ANIMAL ABUSERS / KILLERS, LIKE PEDOPHILES CANNOT BE REHABILITATED OR CURED WHICH IS WHY ONCE ARRESTED KEEP THEM LOCKED UP.
