BELLE GLADE — A 10-year-old dog was removed from a Belle Glade home on Tuesday after her owner cut off her leg with a handsaw, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control officials said.

Luc Jean Baptiste, 48, of Belle Glade was charged with felony animal cruelty after a witness said he duct-taped the dog's mouth shut, hog-tied her, and sawed through her right front leg. The witness told animal control officers that Baptiste removed the leg because the dog had injured it, officials said.

Animal control was called to the house in the 600 block of Southwest Avenue C by the sheriff's office, which was investigating a shooting at the residence. In all, the county removed seven adult dogs and four puppies from the home.

Animal control officials say the abuse case is one of the worst they have seen.

"My initial reaction to something like this is just absolute anger," Animal Control Director Dianne Sauve said Friday. "I don't buy for one minute that someone is trying to help an animal by doing something so barbaric to it. "

Animal control officials have named the dog, a pit bull-type mix, Karma.

"I think that what goes around comes around," said Sauve, who came up with the name. "I think whoever did this to this dog is going to be carrying a karmic debt for a long, long time."

The dog also has a severe infection in her uterus, a sign that she has been used for breeding, officials said.

Karma is expected to undergo surgery to remove her uterus today. Officials hope to repair her leg and eventually put her up for adoption.

well i think we can all agree that was a bad idea

 

[amdhunter]

He'll probably get a fine and that's it. Piece of shit.

 

[RavenSEAL]

What the fuck is this shit? There is a reason society put up animal shelters!

 

[chimaxi83]

Stone age, barbaric, medieval, eye for an eye punishments would severely curb this kind of mindless, shit head behavior.

What the fuck is this shit? There is a reason society put up animal shelters!

LOL. And what do you think would happen to this dog at the shelter?

Dead in 30 days or less.

At least the dog wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

So the lesson is that: better to kill the dog than do "medical procedures" to it.

Karma's got his number & I'd rather not be around to see the end result...

Any human being would probably die of shock having their leg sawed off while fully conscious. So yeah, that dog must have gone through living hell and probably wished he was dead a couple of times.

Amputation of trapped limbs

In 1993, Donald Wyman amputated his leg with his pocketknife after it was pinned by a tree [1] [2].

In 1993, Bill Jeracki was fishing near St. Mary's Glacier in Colorado, when a boulder pinned his left leg. Snow was forecast and without a jacket or pack, Jeracki didn't believe he would survive the night. Fashioning a tourniquet out of his flannel shirt and using his bait knife, he cut his leg off [3] at the knee joint, using hemostats from his fishing kit to clamp the bleeding arteries.

In 2002, Doug Goodale cut off his own arm [4] at the elbow in order to survive an accident at sea.

Aron Ralston, a former student at Carnegie Mellon University was on a canyoneering trip in 2003 in Blue John Canyon (near Moab, Utah), when a boulder fell and pinned his right forearm down, crushing it. First he tried to chip away the rock around his hand with his pocket knife, but gave up the attempt after two days. Next he tried to lift and move the boulder with a simple pulley system made with rope and gear, but that failed too. On the sixth day a dehydrated and delirious Ralston had a vision of himself as a one-armed man playing with his future son. He bowed his arm against the chockstone and snapped the radius and ulna bones. Using the dull blade on his multiuse tool, he cut the soft tissue around the break. He then used the tool's pliers to tear at the tougher tendons. He was careful not to sever the arteries before attaching an improvised tourniquet. After he cut the main bundle of nerves, leading to agonizing pain, he cut through the last piece of skin and was free. In bad physical shape, and having lost more than a litre of blood, he managed to rappel 60 yards down and hike another 8 miles, when he ran into a Dutch family who offered help and guided him to a rescue helicopter which happened to be nearby looking for Ralston and took him to a hospital.

In 2003, an Australian coal miner trapped three kilometres underground by an overturned tractor cut off his own arm [5] with a box-cutting knife. The 44-year-old man, who was not identified by police, was working late at the Hunter Valley mine when the tractor tipped over, crushing his arm and trapping him.

The guy should have his leg cut off by the same means. Simple and effective.

Probably

 

[Number1]

Probably

Alright.

 

[WelshBloke]

Fuck that guy.

We should do the old fashioned thing about withdrawing societies protection from those that are that fucked up.

 

[sdifox]

So help the man by sawing his foot off.

Maybe, but then he'd just get welfare, if he isn't already on it.

There is a thing called a no-kill shelter... I volunteer at one, and adopted my kitty from it. The place is always packed (100% as of last Saturday).

 

[Ronstang]

I could never be an animal control officer. My first response to a situation like this would land me in jail for the rest of my life.

 

[sandorski]

Good Saw

 

[redgtxdi]

But remember........this is America. In fact........the owner might even be rewarded with a sizely settlement if enough people complain about any unjust ruling handed his way. Criminals have rights ya know.

I am beginning to agree that we need to go back in time a bit. Eye for an eye. Leg for a leg. This sh!t would stop pretty quickly.

:thumbsup:

 

[Red Squirrel]

The guy should be thrown in solitary confinement for a couple years then in a mental health place for the rest of his life. He's not right in the head and should not be loose in this society.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Stone age, barbaric, medieval, eye for an eye punishments would severely curb this kind of mindless, shit head behavior.

Because mindless behavior is subject to rational fear of punishment, and because this kind of behavior is particularly common?

A sick or misshapen pet would be put to sleep at a no-kill shelter usually. It's no-kill for 'adoptable' pets.

Some are different, but most work that way. Also most will transfer the pets to another shelter that is 'kill', also staying in line with they do not kill animals themselves.

Also what you detailed above is the sad truth especially with cats. Most of the shelters are at 100% or higher capacity. At those high numbers, outbreaks of disease become possible which shuts down adoptions totally.

It's complicated.
