Puppy Beaten to Death with Ax in Sedona, AZ -- Letters Needed
Bob Bradshaw, Jr., 58, of Sedona, AZ has been charged with felony animal cruelty for bludgeoning his 8-month old German shepherd mix puppy to death with an ax. A neighbor witnessed the act, and said when he asked Bradshaw what he was doing, Bradshaw appeared angry, and responded, "I'm through with that (expletive) dog!" According to a local newspaper article, "Police reports state that the dog was found in Bradshaw's front yard lying in a large pool of blood. Blood was splattered 10 feet away."
Bradshaw allegedly told police it was a "mercy killing" because the dog had parvo, but a veterinarian who examined the dog's body said there was no sign of disease. Neighbors say the dog was neglected and kept chained up constantly, and they had seen Bradshaw kick and hit the dog on numerous other occasions.
The County Attorney's office is keeping a file for all letters and faxes received concerning this case, and is apparently taking the prosecution of this case seriously. Penalties for a conviction under a Class VI Felony animal abuse charge range from probation to two years in prison as well as fines up to $150,000.
