Pomona man charged with animal cruelty; tries to drown, revive, again drown puppy




at Lake Broward Park

BY CHRIS DEVITTO

A Pomona Park man was arrested Thursday on charges of animal cruelty after attempting to drown, revive then drown a female 10-12-week-old puppy at Lake Broward Park.

According to a report from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, witnesses at the park saw Sabeno Martinez-Perez throw the dog into the water, let it drown, revive the dog, and throw it back into the water again.

The report stated that a witness said once the dog appeared lifeless, Martinez-Perez would perform mouth-to-mouth and beat on the dog’s chest to revive it.

When Deputy April Mayle arrived in reference to an animal cruelty complaint, she saw Martinez-Perez sitting on the dock with the dog lying beside him, the report stated.

When Mayle asked that Martinez-Perez come to shore she saw him push the dog under water as he swam to shore, the report also stated.

Mayle told Martinez-Perez to lift the dog from the water but he refused the command, then picked the dog up by its front paws and shook it vigorously, it stated.

Martinez-Perez was placed under arrest and the dog was given to a Putnam County Sheriff’s Office animal control officer.

PCSO Capt. Rick Lashley said Martinez-Perez was initially held on $1,004 bond, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a hold on him for illegal immigration.



He added that Martinez-Perez was living at 116 Greenville Road in the Simmons Work Camp.

Lashley said on Friday the dog was doing fine and recovering from its ordeal.

He said animal control officer Stacy Coulliette took the dog home overnight for observation.

“I think she’ll pull through pretty well - which is really phenomenal,â€

What's wrong with some folks in this country? Why didn't the witnesses stop Martinez-Perez when they realized what he was doing? There was a time in this country when "good" Americans would get actively involved to stop such behavior. I'm reading more and more about this sort of thing happening (witnesseses failure to take action). If I would have observed the puppy drowning, it would have been saved. Either that or someone would have needed to save me or Martinez-Perez from drowning!

This is one of those extremely rare cases in which I would have saved that puppy from drowning before Martinez. The puppy probably has more potential for love and compassion than this scum bag Martinez.

I have no tolerance for those who abuse children or animals. None!!!!

Everyone is obviously afraid of getting arrested, sued or worse if they get involved. Chivalry and human kindness have been swept aside by pc bull and fear of the establishment. The dark side has gained a huge foothold. Case in point: A man tried to help another who had been hit by a car in a mall parking lot. The victim was face down and blood was bubbling up from beneath his face. Several onlookers held the man back saying the victim must not be moved or he could have spinal injuries. Coroners report: the man smothered in his own blood. True story.

Just shows the quality of people that the idiots in DC want to grant amnesty to.

We do not need these types of scum here.
