Vicasso Lara held without bond in Lee County
A Florida man was charged with torturing and killing a dog that he later baked in an oven, according to authorities.
Vicasso Lara, 24, stabbed and beat the dog before placing it in an oven and heating it to its highest setting, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release posted on its Facebook page.
“I’m speechless,” Sheriff Carmine Marceno said. “This is possibly the most brutal and horrific example of animal abuse my team or I have ever seen.”
Deputies were called to Lara’s home by a neighbor who said he was making threats. Deputies said they found pools of blood outside and bloody footprints leading inside, where the dog was found in the oven.
Investigators said Lara stabbed and bludgeoned the dog.
Lara was being held Saturday in the county jail without bond. Jail records didn’t list a lawyer for Lara.
Bake him in an oven, stick an apple in his mouth and deliver him to some Islamic enclave
They say people who are cruel and hurt or kill animals like this guy did develop into crazed serial killers. Good he was caught now than latter.
You haven’t seen the videos of chinese people boiling a live dog in a wok. Or roasting a live dog over a fire. The Chinese culture is excruciatingly cruel and base in it’s disrespect for life.
The sooner we end our relationship with them the better.
So they were taking their dog for a wok.
Demon skinwalkers.
People do awful things. We all know this. Do we really need to be reminded of it? What is the “news” value of reading about this kind of depravity. How are we elevated or educated as a community by reading about this?
It seriously hurts my heart every time I see these kinds of headlines (which frankly, I don't ever remember seeing before on FR).
Thank you.
Brutal and horrific is if he used a blow torch to remove the hair first.
this! and child abuse stories don’t bring anything to the table, either.
You comment questioning the value of the animal cruelty-related posts on FR can (and should) applied to a great number of topics hear....
“Hell, it doesn’t even strike me as American.”
Names can be deceiving. there is a supreme court case in the early 2000’s of the US versus Lara concerning acts of a Sioux tribe person. His name was Billy Joe.
Many American Indian tribes ate dog. Famous explorers Lewis & Clark documented the consumption of dog meat across the continent in their 1803-06 expedition. When their own supply of dog meat ran low they acquired more from the Paiutes, Wah-clel-lah, Clatsop, Teton Sioux, Nez Perce, and the Hidatsas. Though Lewis and his crew had no problems with eating dogs, Clark refused it. The Aztec Empire bred the Mexican Hairless Dog for, among other things, consumption. The Kickapoo (in present day Texas, Olkahoma, Kansas, and Mexico) eat dog meat during festivals honoring their chief diety Kizihiat. The kickapoos today also serve dog at the New Year clan festivals, at the Buffalo naming ceremony, and at individual ceremonies. So it’s not an uncommon practice even today.
So, concerning this case, I can’t find anything identifying him as a member of any tribe. But he may have been doing what other tribes have practiced in American history even before the Europeans arrived and brought their laws with them.

I would dispute the claim he was a “man”. That would imply he was human, which to me he was not.
Late entry: you forgot wasps and fire ants.
You’re getting mellow in your old age.
Yeah, I turn 59 in a couple weeks and thought “I should slow down”
