In one of the most nauseating acts of animal cruelty on record, a man killed his ex-girlfriend’s cherished dog and served it to her for dinner.
The depraved dog killer, Ryan Eddy Watenpaugh, 34, of Palo Cedro, Calif., was arrested and charged with animal cruelty in a long line of vicious abuses against the woman.
This is beyond disturbing,” Adam Parascandola, director of Animal Cruelty Response for The Humane Society, told The National ENQUIRER.
“We’ve seen cases of people harming animals to get at their spouses, but to take it to this level is frightening.”
Watenpaugh kidnapped “Bear,” a Pomeranian, from his girlfriend, who told the Redding Police Department he had physically assaulted her numerous times during their stormy relationship.
After an Aug. 4 argument ended with Watenpaugh allegedly assaulting the woman, she fled. When she finally returned, both man and dog were missing.
