21-Year-Old Charged With Felony Animal Cruelty
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A Gainesville man is charged with animal cruelty after authorities said he bit his Jack Russell terrier as punishment.
Mount Lee Lacy, 21, told officers he bit his dog, Lady, because she had defecated in the house and that he routinely bit her as punishment.
Police said the dog was cowering in the back of her crate when they found her. The dog had a bloody left front paw from the bite.
Authorities were called to Lacy's apartment on Saturday after receiving a concerned phone call from his girlfriend's mother.
Lacy is charged with felony animal cruelty and resisting arrest without violence. He is in jail with bond set at $25,000.
Wow....a genuine man bites dog story!
"Man bites dog"??? Finally, journalists get what they have been looking for -- a man bites dog story.
I have never seen a Jack Russel cower over anything except mine when he is reprimanded by Mags, our great white feline.

Bumping this vitally important and paradigmatic story!
