Pit Bull Dog Stabbing Could Have Been in Self Defense
A dog collar may have just saved the life of a pit bull who was stabbed several times. The pit bull had to have at least a thousand stitches to recover. However, the police have stated that this may have been an act of self defense instead of animal cruelty.
The pit bull dog is a two year old male. His name is Spartacus. Spartacus had been repeatedly stabbed and hit over the head with a shovel near the dog owner’s home in Hyde Park near South Los Angeles.
Dog Owner’s Statement About the Stabbing
If I catch your dog, I’m going to kill him.’ That’s what he said, And he tried to make good of his word.
According to the dog’s owner, a neighbor had a injured Spartacus. While the suspect admitted to it, the female owner claims he had been threatening the dog in the past. The owner got a call about Spartacus getting attacked while she was at work. According to the caller, “this man is out here stabbing Sparky”. Luckily Spartacus’ thick black collar saved him from death.
The incident was reported to the police and a nonprofit organization took Spartacus to a Vet Center to be taken care of. Where he also recieved his more than one thousand stitches.
