CALHOUN COUNTY, SC
After concerned residents reported seeing a puppy abused and killed, deputies charged and arrested an Orangeburg woman.
Taylor Hendrix of Crimestoppers told the Associated Press that witnesses reported the suspect held a rope out of the window of her car that was attached to the dog's neck and pulled it alongside her until the animal couldn't keep up.
Officials reported the German shepherd puppy died near St. Matthews.
Calhoun County Sheriff Thomas Summers said the publics help in this case helped lead to the arrest.
Acting on a tip, deputies located Rita Mintz, 66, of Pineview Drive in Orangeburg about her involvement in the case.
She admitted she was the person responsible for the crime, Summers stated in a news release.
This was a very shocking incident to all of us, and I am very thankful for the outpouring of help we received from the community and from the Humane Society. Summers said.
Mintz is charged with ill treatment to animals. She was released from the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond.
And in the grand scope of things being political or humane, you're right, there ain't spit you can do about them either...........
Don't like the thread, go elsewhere.........sheesh! I'm getting tired of bottom feeders.......
Same here......I thought I read somewhere that there was a movement underway to making cruelty to animals a FELONY. Anyone heard about this? I’d like to take that sub-human neanderthal and drag her ugly arse around town to make a point.......this will happen to you too.
I wonder how she’s like someone do that to her?
She was taking him for a walk...
Some people think of dogs as fashion accessories and have no business having them...
The stories I could tell..
she doesn’t look hungry
Agree 100%. Abusing an animal is like abusing a small child. Acts of pure evil against beautiful innocent creatures. Incredible what evil depths man will sink to.
Gee, even Palmettoes can be brutal!
Tie this POS behind a Ford Explorer with a rope and drive down a gravel road at 40mph for a few miles.
No replies ,,,,,,seems to be a trend.Buh Bye
That happened here where I live. The father tied their dog to the bumper of the car, the daughter, not noticing, jumped in the car and headed to work. Poor thing was so upset when she found out, she rushed to the vet but was too late to save her dog. Several people saw what was going on but were unable to get her attention. This is much different tho than someone driving holding the leash.
On the very low end of the Bell Curve for blacks. She doesn’t even look cognizant.
Split this troglodyte's ugly head open with a baseball bat studded with rusty nails--aaah, a satisfying splat sound. Do the world a big favor.
Perp should receive identical treatment
I saw graphic pics of the dead puppy on another website. I am not posting them here because they are too horrific. OMG, the absolute pain the poor baby must have been in until death released it. There are large areas where the skin is totally rubbed off. I changed my mind what to do with this subhuman biped who did this. Douse her with gasoline and light a candle, set it on her stomach as she is hogtied real good. Let her feel the burn as this poor creature must have felt.

We lost our 16 year old German Shepard to an inoperable tumor last year...(tore me up)...We’ve been looking for A GS female to replace her ( though she can’t be) at a reasonable price, and this takes place about 20 miles from me.
We would have provided a forever loving home for her... Sad
