Horrific Case of Animal Abuse in Detroit

Matt Pepper is the president of Michigan Humane. He tells Detroit's WDIV-TV that it's one of the worst cases of animal abuse he's seen.

“They repeatedly slam the dog's head into a wall, into drawers,” Pepper said. “They involve beating the dog with objects, all while yelling obscenities directed at the woman. Meanwhile, the dog is a 6-pound dog that can not defend itself.”

Pepper says the dog is currently in the foster care of one of its lead veterinarians.

Michigan Attorney General Weighs In

Michigan's Attorney General says Holley could be facing a lot of jail time for the incident.

“One count of second-degree home invasion is a 15-year felony,” said Nessel. “One count of torturing or killing an animal is a 10-year felony. One count of larceny is a four-year felony, and one count of stalking is a one-year-misdemeanor.” i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
