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.”

Evil POS deserves the same treatment. Take him to the Everglades and throw him into gator infested waters and let nature do the rest.
I totally agree with you. Dropping them off into the everglades for Gator food is a fab idea. You can bet these scum bags will be less likely to harm animals. I’d feel bad for the gators though. Haha.
But seriously, what could a defenseless puppy do that deserve that? I pray this person doesn’t have children.

Snap the revolting villain!

EVIL personified; if he can so brutally abuse a little puppy he can do it to any animal or anyone so best he is out of action in jail! And for a looooong time!
May he make someone a good wife in jail.
What an evil POS. I hope he gets a lot of time in prison. I hope the judge in the case does what needs to be done. Anyone who can do this to a tiny, 6 week old baby puppy does not even need to be on the streets.
It does not need to be on the same planet!
I agree! Give him the same treatment. I would gladly assist!!!
Amen!
