A North Carolina man viciously attacked a family’s dog, stabbing it repeatedly until it died in an unprovoked attack while its owner was playing pickleball, officials said.
James Wesley Henry, 43, was arrested for the killing of the mixed-breed pooch named Beignet at an Asheville park Monday afternoon and charged with felony cruelty to animals, Asheville police said.
Henry allegedly walked up to the helpless 11-year-old pup, grabbed it by the throat and slashed it with a knife over and over again, cops said.
“The guy killed the dog with a knife, basically eviscerating it,” Asheville Police Capt. Michael Lamb told the Asheville Watchdog.
Beignet’s owner Liesbeth Mackie told the publication that she brought her dog with her to Weaver Park and secured her on a long leash in a shady spot a few feet away from the pickleball court. *** “All of a sudden, I noticed that there was some commotion happening with her dog,” pickleball player Eric Hulin told the Watchdog. “I saw the attacker, definitely with all of his strength — with what I thought at the time was a closed fist — slamming on the dog, really.”
However, Henry was reportedly holding a knife in his fist.
“I turned and looked at the dog, and saw its last couple of yelps and twitches,” Hulin said to the outlet, adding that he can’t get the image out of his head.
“It was covered in blood. There was blood everywhere. It took me a moment because I wasn’t sure what happened.” ***

I’m reminded of the Patrice O’Neil bit about black people hating dogs.
I once won a 3 day stay in asheville, I asked," what do I do at night?" they said " anything you want, just stay out of asheville" .
IO2 asheville is a nice place to see but full of malcontents that are roaming the streets.
You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat animals—then again looking at this POS, I wouldn’t need to read that he brutally killed someone’s pet to know he should be thrown in a wood chipper and used as fertilizer.
Look at those pictures and tell me who is the animal. Hint, it ain’t the dog.
say his name ... “James Wesley Henry”
Demonic...the demons are prevalent and becoming more active in influencing humans...
He needs to be put down. Hopefully by the dog’s owner.
Your garden variety piece of shit.
Yes. Prayers up.
Hey, he’s black. He should only be charged with a misdemeanor.
His is definitely one black life that don’t matter.
If James Wesley Henry did that to my Lab,James Wesley Henry would be in the morgue with EVERY ONE OF HIS 200+ BONES BROKEN!!
Damn feral animals need put down slowly and make sure it’s excruciatingly painful.
Get the biggest, badest, meanest pit bull and put this pos in a small room together and let them fight it out. No weapons allowed.
Yes—and if he survives unleash the presa canario.
OMG! THE KILLER IS BLACK! I AM SHOCKED!
Another savage pickleball killing.
When will this scourge be banned?
“Henry was arrested in Buncombe County 16 times from 2010 to 2022, all on misdemeanor charges, primarily drug and alcohol offenses and second-degree trespassing, according to jail booking data. He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon in 2016 and three times booked on a charge of simple affray, generally defined as fighting in public that causes others to be afraid. The outcomes of the charges were unavailable late Monday.”
Why stop at one pit bull? Put a pair of 'em in with him, after you beat him and stab him with acid-tipped needles. Put his miserable remains through a woodchipper and dump them into a hog pen. This walking pile of steaming feces doesn't rate the space and oxygen he's wasting.
