| Worried that the puppy would jump on his newborn, Lashawn Whitehead severely beat the dog, then set it on fire |
That much is clear by what happened in August. Whitehead was at home when his 3-month-old puppy jumped on the couch where the baby was resting. As his mom Sally Laws tells it, her son promptly lost it. He severely the beat the dog, then set it on fire before leaving it to die in a Greensboro, North Carolina park.
The dog was found by a passerby about two weeks later. It had burns over 60 percent of its body, and its ears were nearly burned off. It also had a broken jaw and teeth...

Undercover Investigation Reveals Kitten Deaths and Other Animal Suffering. Learn More.
Regardless of what you think about using animals for scientific animals for scientific research, this undercover PETA video shot at a University of Utah lab shows the kind of stuff Josef Mengele enjoyed. Chemicals and electrodes are injected into animals' heads, holes are drilled in their skulls, and sick ones are left to die.

| Dale Bozzio was a sex symbol in her day... |
Cops say two cats died and others starved while they were left to fend for themselves with their litter boxes overflowing. Another 12 cats had to be euthanized. Bozzio blamed it on a caretaker who hadn't tended to the animals while she was gone for a week, but a judge ruled that the conditions were in place for quite some time.
Bozzio's lawyer, Dennis O'Connor, tried to blame the incident on the difficult life of a has-been rocker. "An artist like Dale lives in a different world," he told the Boston Phoenix. "The little details of life that some of us, myself included, try to take care of, those end up on the back burner for artists like Dale..."

| Game wardens say elk and deer were left to die and rot on the Turner farm |
So you might expect hunting farm owners to be a bit shady as well. That seems to be the case with Jannet J. Turner and her son Scott Turner, who operate Michigan Trophy Hunts. Last year, people passing by noticed wild boars feeding on dead animals at the Chapin Township preserve...

This undercover video was shot by Mercy for Animals at Country View Family Farms in Fannettsburg, Pennsylvania. It's not for the squeamish. It shows pigs being chucked like footballs, smashed against walls, hit with sharp metal spikes, and killed in portable gassing carts. It's as if the owners, who supply Hatfield Quality Meats, decided to recreate Auschwitz at a pig farm in Pennsylvania. But it's entirely legal.

| The serial egg thief of West Palm Beach |
In May, 52-year-old Bruce Bivins was caught in West Palm Beach with a bag of 119 eggs. As police approached, he chucked the sack and started running. But his wheels proved insufficient, and he was nabbed by the cops.
The eggs can fetch as much as $35 a dozen on the Florida black market because some people believe they're an aphrodisiac. But swiping them is a felony, punishable by five years. And since Bivins was caught for the same crime in 1997, we're guessing momma sea turtles will get a break from Bivins for the next few years.

Police say Able left the cat's remains on the hood of a fellow student's car
Apparently Bryan Able, a law enforcement student at Hocking College, couldn't find any worms in the entire state of Ohio. So he decided instead to pick the next best thing -- or at least nearest thing.
According to police, he walked up on someone's porch and grabbed their cat. But the cat wouldn't stop meowing, probably because it knew it was in the company of a weirdo. So Able stomped on its head, disemboweled it, took its liver and went fishing. When he was done, detectives say he went back to school and left the cat's remains on the hood of someone's car...

| Professor John Wrazen seems to have left 50 animals to die over the summer without food or water |
The animals were used for lectures, not research. But it appears the reptiles and amphibians hadn't been fed since the spring semester before the August discovery. Most of those still clinging to life had to be euthanized...
