SUMMARY:
This news, written by Laura Dimon was published the
21th of February of 2017 and it was about a plumber who faces two years for
beating dog to death with shovel.
Michael
Gallagher, 56-years-old man, is a plumber who works in the New York City
schools and the Metropolitan Opera House. So, this Levittown man was accused
last 23th of December of 2016 of beat his dog, an 11-years-old Shepard mix
called Bella, and he is facing up to two years in prison.
According
to prosecutors, the crime happened when this drunk man put his dog in a plastic
bag and beat her with a metal shovel. He also put a zip tie around the dog's
neck. Finally, when Gallagher's wife came home carried Bella to an animal
hospital, where she had to be euthanized.
Gallagher's daughter
spoke to the Daily News said that she and his family don’t know what to do but they know they don’t want him to come back. She also
said that decades ago her father abused of alcohol and she confessed that started
drinking again after one of the other family dogs died.
Finally, after all the trials, Gallagher pleaded not guilty.
He is being held on $300,000 bail and is due back in court March 21.
MY OPINION:
In my point of view, if this man proves to be so cruel to the
animals, this proves that he would also be able to attack the men.
So, in my opinion, justice should have pleaded guilty.
I cannot understand why people are bent in mistreating
animals because,
for me, animals are just like humans, they also are living beings. Following this argument, if a man kill an animal he has to be tried as if he had killed a
person and, therefore, go to prison. I'm sure that if he had kill a
person he will go to prison. But he not even kill her, he also torture her.
Definitely, although men nowadays
treat animals better, we still have to fight for animal rights and fight
against animal abuse, because they have the same right to live as we do.
