Man arrested for animal cruelty after dog found tied to post in floodwaters ahead of Hurricane Milton

How do animal abusers fare in prison? Is it similar to other crimes against the most vulnerable? Because somehow that does carry some poetic justice.

People tend to underestimate the importance of laws against animal cruelty. These laws are not only about protecting animals; they also reflect human decency and respect for all forms of life. Furthermore, they often serve as a significant red flag. The number of criminals and sociopaths connected to animal cruelty is far too high to be ignored.

Two days later, Aldama Garcia went to the Hillsborough County Animal Shelter to attempt to retrieve the dog and showed pictures as proof of ownership, according to the affidavit.

This guy isn’t just an asshole he’s a stupid asshole too. Imagine thinking there was any chance in hell an animal shelter was going to give you back the dog you left to drown while tied to a fence post in a flooded ditch during a hurricane.

I will never comprehend how evil or sociopathic someone has to be to do something like this.

I think they should tie this dude to a fence next hurricane that comes around, you know so he can wait out storm. I hope this dog goes to a loving home for the rest of their life.
