Man who fed puppy to boa gets 90 days

Arizona man could have been sentenced to up to a year on cruelty charge

PHOENIX - A man who coated a 3-week-old puppy in cooking oil and then fed it to his pet boa constrictor was sentenced Thursday to 90 days in jail and two years probation, prosecutors said.

Joseph Beadle, 40, pleaded guilty to an animal cruelty charge in March. He has served 51 days of his jail sentence while the case was pending.

Beadle, of Glendale, faced up to a year in jail on the charge.

Police reports said Beadle fed the mixed-breed puppy to the 8-foot-long snake last June as two 15-year-old boys watched. He poured the cooking oil on the dog so it would be easier for the snake to swallow.

Investigators seized his snake after finding it was the victim of neglect.

"The County Attorneys Office has made prosecuting animal-cruelty cases a high priority," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a statement. "Experience and empirical evidence have shown that people who commit cruelty to animals are more likely to commit crimes against people."

They’ve got time for this, but not for the hundreds of thousands of illegals streaming through Phoenix.

Go figure.

Sumbitch should be found face-down in an alley with a hole in his forehead.

There’s two things you never hurt. Babies and helpless animals.

This arsehole needs to be introduced to Mr. Woodchipper.

People buy baby hamsters to feed them to their snakes.

Yeah, and mice too and other rodents.

I still regard a dog as man’s best friend.

Dogs should be treated accordingly...

Suppose he’d caught, oiled, and fed a rat, squirrel, or woodchuck to the snake?

It’s not stated whether the oil gave the snake indigestion....

Even a boa's got better taste than that.

I once owned a very large burmese python.

I had the decency to feed it cute bunny rabbits, not puppies.

How do we pick and choose what species are special? Animals violently consume each other a billion times a day on this planet.

I once had a cat that killed baby bunnies just for fun. I’d try to stop her, but you can’t get upset over it...

In other news, local animal shelters killed thousands of cute cuddly puppies and kittens and not one of them was prosecuted. Was what this guy did reprehensible?? You bet. Was it criminal??? No f’n way. What’s the difference between the big furry rabbit and the puppy aside from sentimentality????

One wonders what mammal might be a politically correct meal for a large serpent. Is it ok to feed a rat to the snake, but cruel to feed a puppy? How about a kitten?

I question the rationality of a system that sentences a man to 3 months in jail for feeding his pet a meal that, otherwise, most of us might find cute and cuddly. (even if he is a horses rear end)
