The dog was struggling to hold on to the rump on the back of a horse as the men laughed at what they were doing.
Then, Sadler slit the dog’s neck with a knife. It took him several times to fully cut the dog’s throat, as revealed in the warrant.
Stanley then posted the video on Snapchat to be seen by the dog’s owner.
According to reports, he wanted to exact revenge on the pup’s owner because of whatever the person did to Stanley, who felt he was wronged.
Animal activists expressed anger and displeasure that Sadler and Stanley won’t get any jail time for their vicious attack on a helpless dog.
In 2017, members of the Justice for Animals Campaign for In Defense of Animals sent a letter of support to the prosecutors of the case against Sadler and Stanley.
It had over 21,000 signatures from animal lovers all over the world who wished that the Pit Bull will get justice.
The organization’s director, Doll Stanley, expressed being heartbroken over the sentence.
Residents and members of the Morehouse Parish community were also saddened by the judge’s decision as they were expecting stiffer penalties.
