Man Arrested After Dog Beheaded, Delivered To Teen Owner In Gift Box

POSTED: 6:56 am EDT March 23, 2007

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A 24-year-old man has been arrested, suspected of cutting
the head off of a 17-year-old girl's pet dog and leaving it at her front
door in a gift-wrapped box.

The man, who is expected to be arraigned Friday, was being held on suspicion
of terrorist threats.

Police said he may be charged with animal cruelty.

"I think I can sleep a lot better now," said Crystal Brown. "It will make me
feel way safer. Now we can walk around the whole block."

Crystal was devastated last month when Chivy, her 4-year-old Australian
shepherd mix, went missing.

Two weeks after the dog disappeared, a gift box addressed to Crystal was
found at the front door of a house she shares with her grandmother.

Inside, Crystal found Valentine's Day candy and a garbage bag containing her
pet's head.

Police said the man they arrested lived a few blocks from Crystal and may
have had a romantic interest in the girl.

The case drew widespread media attention. The television show "America's
Most Wanted" posted the case on its Web site, and donations pushed a $2,500
reward offered by the Humane Society of the United States to $20,000.

I guess I was wrong about no good coming from all these new "terrorism"
laws. They may help this sicko obtain some nice long term housing. But
then again probably not ..

Well, apparently psychiatric treatment doesn't do much to
"cure" sociopaths, and in our culture a dog's life doesn't
have the same weight as a human's under the law.

[[Well, apparently psychiatric treatment doesn't do much to "cure"

I read in one of the news articles covering this story that the dog was
the girl's therapy dog. Maybe if that's the case, the punishment will be
more severe for harming it. It should be.

Personally, the only punishments that REALLY would fit this crime would
all be unconstitutional because they'd be considered "cruel and unusual
punishment". The culprit needs to be off the streets, I wish permanently,
for the rest of society's sake.

I agree. I think the article said something about charging him with
terrorism or some such, which could also add to his sentence.

And you state that based on what kind of data?

Interesting way of showing it. We used to send flowers, but I'm old
fashioned. :P

I dunno, we used to send vegetables. I'll never forget the bouquet of
zucchini squash I got from one admirer.
