The Tuesday, February 27, New York Times has an article by Judy Battista, in the
sports section (D4) headed, "Latest Mess For N.F.L.: The Death Of a Dog."


It tells that Jonathan Babineaux, a defensive tackle who just finished his
second season with the Atlanta Falcons, killed his girlfriend's dog:

"A dog belonging to Babineaux's live-in girlfriend died last week, and Babineaux
was charged with felony animal cruelty. The dog, Kilo, was a 1 1/2-year-old pit
bull mix" and "the police have said the dog died of blunt force trauma to the
head."

We read:

"Babineaux and his girlfriend, Blair Anderson, argued last Sunday, and Anderson
was at the movies when Babineaux called to tell her she should come home to
check on the dog, according to the police.

"When she got there, the dog was in 'severe physical distress,' the police
said. Kilo vomited blood in the car as Anderson drove to the Animal Emergency
Center in Lawrenceville, Ga. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Doctors
called the police.

"At the time, Babineaux told the police he had had physical contact with the dog
but nothing that would have caused its death. The police said Babineaux's
explanation was inconsistent with the physical evidence, and he was arrested.

"Since then, an Atlanta television station has reported -- and a league official
has confirmed -- that Babineaux said he was following the advice of a dog
trainer recommended by his veterinarian to try to train the dog not to be
aggressive. And in turning the dog repeatedly in a circle until it became
disoriented, the dog accidentally smacked its head against the wall.

"The autopsy is expected to show whether a weapon was used to kill Kilo."

You'll find the whole article on line at

It gives us a good opportunity for letters to the editor about our treatment of
other species, particularly, in this case, on the link between spousal abuse and
domestic violence against animals. PETA has a useful fact sheet headed, "Animal
Abuse and Human Abuse: Partners in Crime" on line at
http://www.peta.org/mc/factsheet_display.asp?ID=132

The New York Times takes letters at letters@nytimes.com

Always include your full name, address, and daytime phone number when sending a

published. And please be sure not to use any comments or phrases from me or from
any other alerts in your letters. Editors are looking for original responses
from their readers.

Snicker. Babineauz must've made eye contact with the pit bull cuz these mofos will try and kill your for staring them down. And administering severe trauma to the head has been known to get these pets to unclamp their teeth off of a victim.

What do you mean he did right, you moron? If he had a half a brain that dog would have "run away," been missing or buried in the desert.

LOLOL! But really. Who's dumb enough to go to jail over a dead dog. And what's the world coming to when you can't even kick your own dog anymore???

BTW, we just had a jury trial here where a man shot his neighbor's dog because the dog kept digging up his yard (or something to that effect). He was facing two years in prison but the jury gave him a pass. Thank God.
