Man Who Stabbed a Dog 50 Times and Dumped Him in a Suitcase Could Get ONLY 5 Years in Jail – Let’s Change That

We recently shared the story of Ollie, a Pit Bull, who was found abandoned in a suitcase with brutal stab wounds. Ollie was taken in by Grateful Paws Dog & Cat Rescue and received the best medical care, including several surgeries – but, tragically, the deep and extensive injuries he had suffered turned out to be too much and, on October 12, 2017, he passed away.

A Care2 petition has been launched demanding justice for Ollie by prosecuting his abuser, Brendan Evans, to the fullest extent of the law. The man committed an abhorrent act of animal cruelty by stabbing the dog more than 50 times before dumping him on the road.

The man has been charged with Aggravated Animal Cruelty which is a 3rd Degree Felony in the state of Florida. If he is convicted, he will face up to five years in prison – a conviction that seems hardly harsh enough for his exceedingly brutal act. Moreover, deeply disturbing evidence was gathered in Evans’s apartment. Investigators found animal fur in the oven and cat paws in the freezer, all of which points even more strongly to the necessity of a stricter conviction.

Apart from the animal abuse, Evans is a repeat offender, with domestic battery charges, burglary charges, and probation violations. The petition reports that statistically, an individual responsible for mutilating animals often times eventually causes physical harm to human beings as well.

“We ask that you set precedence with this case letting animal abusers and animal torturers know they will be prosecuted and sentenced with maximum prison time for their actions,” the petition reads.

Given the shocking brutality of his crime that ended in a death and further evidence of cruelty, Ollie’s abuser should beyond any doubt receive multiple Aggravated Animal Cruelty charges.
