Someone kicked a puppy so hard he lost his leg.

 

An 8-month-old puppy has lost his leg in a suspected case of extreme animal cruelty in Moon Township, PA. The puppy, now named Tres, suffered broken ribs and leg broken so badly it had to be amputated after a man named Marcus Smiley kicked him.

What could a puppy do for someone to do something so horrible? You won’t believe it:

“The boyfriend was rather angry because the dog had torn the house up a little, like dogs do sometimes,” McCarthy said. “Then he gave it an extremely powerful kick.”
“He was whimpering, limping. His leg was dangling. He couldn’t walk very well,” said Jess Horvatin, who rescues a lot of abused animals. Read more here

Thankfully, Tres’ surgery was successful and he has already been adopted by a loving family. The man accused of nearly killing him, Marcus Smiley will be charged with animal cruelty, a second-degree misdemeanor, according to ABC6.

You can help Tres and the people who saved him. Sign this petition on Change.org here and also make a much needed donation to help cover his medical costs. They have a goal of raising $3,000 but only have $400 raised so far. If lots of people chip in small amounts, we can easily help them hit their goal!


The rescuing and adoption of shelter animals in the United States has reduced the number of cats and dogs euthanized by over one million since 2011. Adopt Don’t Shop is more than a slogan — it saves lives.

    Since cant take an eye for an eye, or leg for a leg so to speak, yes jail sentence is in order along w/ primary responsibility for vet bill plus monetary fine, the purpose being to cause Marcus Smiley enough pain in lieu of amputating his leg.

    Marcus Smiley – you miserable inhumane rotten SOB – I hope another human beats you to a pulp and makes you beg for mercy – and then kicks you in the nuts (very hard) again & again. If you live, maybe you will think twice before ever touching another animal. I bet you beat children too!

    This guy deserves to be in prison for a very long time. He should be registered as an animal abuser and not allowed to own any pets. Or make the guy be the one that German Shepards and Dobermans attack to be trained. But he does not get the protective suit. Just looked up the guys name is Black and an Ex Con. plenty of other ethnic groups abuse animals. Some of them end up killing people and become Serial Killers. Jeffrey Dahmer and others started out abusing and killing animals. If you kill or injure an animal you should get the same penalty as if it was a human being.

    Justice is not always fair. This would be a felony if it were a defenseless human and I do not see much difference in the species, this canine did not have a chance against a mentally unsound, aggressive so-called man. This was an animal that had as much right to life as the perpetrator did before he chose to commit violence against the defenseless canine, The result is that the victim will not have the opportunity to thrive and prosper because of this violent and aggressive thug. I cannot see how this is a simple misdemeanor. Repulsive and he needs to be outed for the safety of society.

    This is extremely sad. I simply cannot imagine what would provoke someone into such a fit of rage. Especially against a sweet little puppy.
    However, another thing that makes my blood boil is witnessing one person referring to people of color as a n@##*&.This is the 21st century and nobody has the right to shame another person based on race.This person, as wrong as he was for harming this sweet puppy most likely has a mental disorder or was beaten himself as a child. You on the other hand Mr JH, are an uneducated racist bigot for whom there is no excuse!. I know many people of color who are far more educated, sophisticated and tolerant of others than you. Please quit living under a rock. Your bigotry is not welcome in our society.

      When persons like Smiley commit acts this ugly, it makes some people’s blood boil enough to refer to them w/ words they would not otherwise use. That doesn’t make them a bigot, you can bet Michael Vick, another lowlife got the same kind of slurs from lots of people, including from decent persons of his own ethnicity. Doubt anyone commenting here cares about how u feel about anything other than this suffering puppy who lost his leg because of this Smiley lowlife.

    “The only difference between a dog, cat, horse and dolphin and a cow, chicken, pig and turkey is perception. One is no more valuable than another. And yet in this culture, we hold the former animals in high esteem and the latter we brutalize for food. All animals are deserving of respect and freedom from violence. The way to respect others is veganism.”

    Fines are not harsh enough in cases of horrendous animal abuse. They do not serve as a deterrent as the psychopath perpetrators of these sadistic crimes have no moral conscience and no empathy. In fact, as they are sadistic they get pleasure from harming animals and making them suffer horrendous pain. Lenient sentencing may persuade other animal abusers that the law is on their side and they will continue to do what they are doing.

    Criminals who inflict horrendous pain on an animal must be given a minimum prison term of at least 5 years depending on the severity of the case. Even that is too short. Its about time the establishment showed respect for animals and did what they were paid to do instead of using chaos majic on everyone. Animals have feelings, because they do not have a voice does not mean that sadistic psychopaths can get away with harming them, when they feel like it.

    All societies are full of character disordered people who think that they are entitled to do as they please and they do as they please because the not fit for purpose legal systems around the world are structured to allow different groups to not be held to account. They are intra-species predators and they must be separated from society, serve an appropriate prison term and their names and address MUST be put on an Animal Abuse register so they can be monitored as they never change. Emotional retards with sadistic tendencies remain sadistic and a threat to all animals. They also go on to commit serial abuse on humans.

    New legislation must be tabled to change the law. We need tougher animal cruelty sentencing and we need it now. Instead of wasting time mind controlling people and creating hoaxes change the law and hold these sadistic scum to account. Dr George Simon, Phd. writes extensively about these low life filth, who are getting away with criminal activities and harming sweet animals and this must stop. Character disordered individuals are being bred due to MSM indoctrination, not being taught boundaries or due to genetic components and choas magic movies are used to brainwash people to be as immoral as possible which is all part of Agenda 21 created by mind parasites. Nothing positive comes from movies on the whole. 99.9% are created to breed the lowest form of human life possible – misfits, con artists, thieves, violent bullies. I was recently bullied by police for reporting my cat as having been stolen by a local character disordered piece of trash who is sadistic and a neighborhood nuisance. I will fight until I get justice, the police will not get away with despicable behavior. We have to stand up for animals and make sure legislation is put in place to eliminate the scum who cause horrendous pain and death to innocent animals.

    Justice for all animals. Change the rules. Remove sadistic, brutal animal batterers from society. These cases must be taken seriously and not ignored by a legal system that is unfair and corrupt. That is not good enough.

      Your comments are amazing….unfortunately I know all too much about these psychopath/predators/liars.At a golf course I worked at I once saw a partner I played golf with strike a goose so it was flailing around in a bunker and dying-its wings were as wide as the small bunker. I later saw another goose wandering around covered with mud near death. He was a very poor sport too and when I won too many games in basketball (we had a hoop there) he came up behind me in another vehicle (in the shed) and slammed into mine and said ‘I’ll kill you Federico!’and he laughed sadistically (he knew how the bumpers worked). When I told the boss his solution was to yuk it up with him and get rid of me! Its clear that Trump is one of them I think. They’ll injure humans too so watch your back!

    Making Mr. Smiley a ward of the state so that the taxpayers are responsible for the cost of his punishment is a bad result. He’s already hurt us enough. Mr. Smiley should be ordered to serve dogs in an animal shelter for whatever time he would have spent in prison. Several years of witnessing the lonely lives of these beautiful animals, cleaning their cages, walking them and being responsible for providing comfort is the best way to teach him the horror of his crime and is likely to change his behavior in the future. Let’s make sure that Mr. Smiley never does this again — not by locking him up, but by teaching him the joy of caring for abandoned animals.

    Marcus Smiley is a subhuman. This is horrific animal abuse. Enforce the law and STOP this deplorable man. He is disgusting. He has lost all spiritual connection and is soulless! He needs to be drug down a gravel road, kicked until his leg is so badly broken it has to be amputated. There is an eye witness and he is guilty of animal abuse in the highest degree. Why is he not arrested? What about his girl friend? Did she not file charges? If not, she needs to be right there with him for the punishment. Karma.
