OK Man Charged With Animal Cruelty

[falcon]

This guy killed a wild hog in a pen with a knife. The so called "hunter" then posted the video of his brave deed all over the web. PETA complained and the guy was charged with animal cruelty, a felony. i'm not a fan of PETA by any means: However, animal cruelty is still animal cruelty. This guy could have quickly shot that hog instead of wounding a hog with a knife and finally killing another one with the knife.

OK already has a bad rep. Rooster fighting was legal here until about 8 years ago. Our legislature refused to make rooster fighting illegal. It took a voter referendum to do it. Dog fighting is illegal but still popular in parts of OK.

“The decomposition of the carcasses appeared to range from a couple of days to over a week or two,” Deputy Cloyd said. “The carcasses of the baby calves were located less than 1/8 mile from I-40, Hwy 66, and 1910 road. By not knowing the cause of the death of the baby calves, Pettit is believed to be in violation of Oklahoma Statute 21-1223 because they are within one-quarter mile of several major roadways, which is a health and safety violation for the public.”
