Dog in a bag

Authorities say a Toledo man made a crucial mistake when he allegedly tried to abandon a litter of puppies by stuffing them into a canvas suitcase and leaving them behind a city business.
He left the luggage tag with his contact information attached to the bag, officials said.
Gene Boros, a Toledo Area Humane Society cruelty officer, filed two counts of abandonment Tuesday against Howard Davis of East Hudson Street for leaving the bag and the puppies next to a trash bin behind 3442 Stickney Ave.
The bag of six English bulldog puppies — three males and three females — along with their mother was picked up April 4 by the Lucas County Dog Warden’s office.
The business is about a quarter mile from the home of Mr. Davis, who was in the process of moving when he was questioned at his home by Officer Boros last week.
Mr. Davis could not be reached for comment.
By time the dog warden’s personnel arrived on Stickney, passers-by had found the dogs and unzipped the bag to give them some air, said Julie Lyle, Lucas County dog warden. “But they said they had found the bag zipped with the mother dog standing next to it,” Ms. Lyle said.
The dog and puppies were transferred to the Humane Society on Thursday because the dog warden doesn’t handle abandonment cases, Ms. Lyle said.
“There are witnesses who said that the female is indeed Mr. Davis’ dog and that he had been trying to sell puppies,” said John Dinon, executive director of the Toledo Area Humane Society.
Mr. Davis said he had not abandoned the dogs and had given them to someone in Michigan, Mr. Dinon said.
Mr. Davis was to be charged with two counts — one for the adult dog and the other for the puppies — of either first-degree or second-degree misdemeanor abandonment.
It was unclear Tuesday the level of offenses for which Mr. Davis would be charged.
First-degree misdemeanor abandonment carries a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine; second-degree misdemeanors carry up to 90 days in jail and a $750 maximum fine.
Mr. Davis will be issued a citation and given a court date, but he was not arrested, said Mr. Dinon.
The mother, now named Maddie, and the pups are doing well at the Humane Society.
They will be going to a foster home by the end of the week. They won’t be available for adoption for at least four weeks, officials said, but because they are part of a cruelty case, that time might be extended.
81 is now off the air

What a douche!! I'll foster with ya Monkeewrench!!
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."
F-heads who would do these sorts of things make me so angry. I agree with monkeewrench that penalties for these types of abuse cases against helpless animals are not nearly strong enough for such d-bags.

and a real brainiac at that....name tag on the bag...doh
Glad the dogs are ok, but as it has been said before, there need to be stiffer penalties for cases like this. Aren't there studies that say when children are cruel to animals, they have higher instances of being murderers?

oh, and I would like to add: f*cking piece of shit.
I don't understand how anyone can be so cruel.
Makes me sick

Odd. For some reason I'm slightly turned on. :?
In all seriousness, these kinds of stories make me sick.
I think this ratfuck should be locked in a bag and left somewhere. Leave it up to chance if someone rescues him or not. Let the punishment fit the crime I say.

Left zipped up in a bag somewhere where they're going to infill a load of cement?
People like that are a complete waste of oxygen.

the first 45 minutes were really tough, I never cried that much watching a movie...
Fast food nation is cool, is quite related, not a great movie but interesting topic, and Food Inc. is a must... I don't endorse vegetarianism, or veganism, but I cut down the amount of chicken and meat I eat weekly, and we should be aware of the treatment any animal receive, expecially the ones we eat...
Totally agree the 1st half of the movie was so hard to watch, the dog being thrown in the garbage truck in Turkey just ripped my fucking heart out. I still eat seafood but have moved towards a plant based diet with everything else since watching this film. I had already given up red meat a year before but immediately cut out dairy and poultry after watching this as it was that life changing for me. I don't miss it and definitely feel much healthier since doing it.
I watched the trailer first and then the first section of the movie before shutting down and leaving for home- up to 40mins, yesterday from work. The images have been in my mind since then... i cannot let it go. I was up late last night thinking about what i saw. I don't know how too express myself on how i am feeling to my family, friends, and even myself. i am in a state of shock. this is life changing and sad on so many levels. I want to say thank you Javis but at the same time i wish i never seen that at all.
