Man killed dog, thinking it was gay

Compiled from wire services -

Ocala, Fla. _ A man accused of fatally beating a dog because he thought it was gay was convicted of animal cruelty.

George Stephens Finley, 58, could get up to a year in jail.

Witnesses testified that Finley was upset that his wife's neutered male poodle-Yorkshire terrier repeatedly tried to engage in sexual activity with another family dog, a male Jack Russell terrier.

Prosecutors said Finley hit the dog in the head with a plastic vacuum cleaner wand and hurled it against a tree. The dog lapsed into a coma and was put to death.

Finley maintained he struck the dog accidentally. A jury found him guilty Tuesday.

What's with these guys?

Beat the dog with a shotgun and a plastic vacuum cleaner?

They don't have a baseball bat or a shovel?
