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.” ***

Shoot him until he’s dead.

For a long time I have felt that we need to bring back public executions and no waiting days and years on death row. Get em done
IMO they would help deter crime and give the populace a sense of justice and closure. We read darn it everyday about the atrocities humans commit but we never see the justice. The righting of the wrong. That affects our psyche and societal cohesion.
Surprise, surprise, surprise...
That poor dog @#$& what must it have been thinking? Such loving, loyal, and innocent creatures they are. It makes me so angry. I can understand the sentiments here.
“Hey, it was ONLY a dog.”

Next excuse coming will be, HEY,IT WAS ONLY A WHITE PERSON.....
American Negros seem to have taken on the characteristics of Moslem jihadis. They have riots and they kill” infidels” randomly, infidels in their case being white people, Orientals and their property.
The frequency of black jhadi attacks on nonblack people are become sufficiently frequent that always going armed is becoming a survival imperative.
A pair of them would make the process too quick.
He looks nice. /s
“Can’t even have a Dog. Tired of this man!”
I’m torn. There is the whole “Don’t stoop to their level” thing, but there is also the “Make an example of him” angle as well.
I lean towards the “Pour encourager les autres” side of the equation.
Our ancestors had public hangings. Were they less intelligence than we?
