A 26-year-old Atlanta man was arrested and charged with animal cruelty after he was caught on video viciously beating a dog in an animal shelter.
Calvin Battle was fired after a supervisor viewed a surveillance video that showed him using a metal bowl to beat a dog in a kennel at the DeKalb County Animal Shelter. Battle was an employee of LifeLine Animal Project, the organization which is contracted to manage the DeKalb County Animal Shelter.
Animals at the shelter are usually abused and abandoned by their previous owners.
Battle and another man were filling bowls with dog food when the incident happened. The surveillance video shows Battle entering a cage where 2 dogs had been fighting over the food. Battle is seen savagely beating one of the dogs with a metal feeding bowl. Another Lifeline worker stands outside the cage and watches the beating taking place.
LifeLine’s executive director, Rebecca Guinn, told Channel 2 Action News that Battle will never work for Lifeline again.
“We were stunned,” Guinn said after viewing the video. “We have a zero tolerance policy for any kind of mistreatment of the animals and we were mortified by this.”
Guinn said even if the dogs inside had been fighting, employees are trained on how to safely handle that. “They’re supposed to use a hose, actually, to separate the dogs,” said Guinn.
Guinn said Battle passed a standard background check that came back clean. “There’s a background check and reference checks, so we had no indication that he did not know how to handle animals,” Guinn said. “This is a gentleman who came to us with a good deal of experience on his resume. Obviously it’s not the kind of experience that we want.”
Police launched an investigation into Battle’s background to determine if there are any past incidents of animal cruelty. The dog involved in the beating, as well as 2 other dogs in the kennel, were taken to a veterinarian to be evaluated for injuries.

There were animal rights laws, before there were child abuse laws.
**THE STORY**
(ridiculous)
A man accused of blowing up his daughter’s dog because he was mad at her is being held on $500,000 bail, but not for harming the pet pooch.
“In the animal cruelty statute in the state of Washington it talks about animal suffering,” Undersherriff Dave Cox told ABC News. Since the dog died instantaneously and didn’t suffer before it died, “the prosecutor was concerned about that verbiage,” Cox said.
Christopher Dillingham, 45, of Stevenson, Wash., allegedly killed the yellow lab named Cabala on Sunday after a dispute with his daughter, who was given the pet by an acquaintance just six months prior.
“We’re taking this very seriously because it is clearly a violation of state law. It’s a pretty laid back bunch of folks here who own a lot of animals, so it was fairly disturbing to have this happen,” said Cox.
Dillingham was originally arrested under animal cruelty charges, but those charges were dropped.

So basically Kelly is the entitled troublemaker of this season. She had an attitude the entire episode because she didn’t have a say in the director for their show. She kept getting in dude face and getting nasty with him. Finally she and Chante had words (Chante was the only one bold enough to say anything-Lil Mo said everything in her one on one’s). At the end, Kelly decided that since it was her idea she would bring in her director…THEN she called and asked him. She raised all that hell the whole episode and hadn’t even ASKED the dude if he would do it. So when she brought him in at the end she pulled out her Timbs, Vaseline, and a straight edge. And Chante just looked at her like Bytch plz, nobody scared of yo triangle shaped azz.
Oh and Dawn and her white boyfriend wanna try to have kids. But the dr told her her eggs were rotten. (his words)
@VA so now they have two directors? and Kelly Mr Crab lookin gass needs to chill. I dont like her attitude! So they fired the first guy? and OMG he told her that her eggs were rotten?! Damn.
Luvyn it was disgusting

After she acted an azz toward him she gone tell the other ladies that she worked too hard to get to where she is to be disrespected. Meanwhile, she holds her rehearsals in her fuggin living room. HOSITDOWN. And nope, they have two directors. She got the guy that directed that Dreamgirls in the Hood play a couple episodes ago. And he comes in all hype, loud, and wrong. Finally at the end Lil Mo speaks up and tells the dude, “Look who’s directing? Cause I’ve been working with HIM and this is who I’m comfortable with” So it’s gone hit the fan next week.
And yup, told her her 47 year old eggs were rotten.

Let me tell y’all about my friend and her dog Penny.
I forget what breed she is but she’s about 20-30lbs. Well she’s fixed and knows her way home so when it’s time to let her out to potty my friend lets her run freely. I guess one day Penny got tired and laid up under a bush resting/panting by the NEX and someone posted a picture of her on FB laying there claiming she was having seizures and foaming at the mouth.. that post garnered 70+ damn comments of the nature “omg poor dog! where is she? I’m 40min away,I’ll come get her! I’m taking her to the animal shelter this is abuse!” Over the top stuff like that and them some. Someone was then smart enough to say she lives on such and such street so she’s fine.
Penny came home when she was ready and then my friend said about 30 min later she got a knock on her and some woman shoved her phone in her face with the picture of penny asking was that her dog all nasty like.. you know what color that woman was… my friend is venezuelan.
@VA Kelly needs to sit her self down. smh. Dawn 47?! Yeah uhhh it’s too late to be trying to have babies. She can always adopt. So on th epreview for next week, what happened?

Dawn 47 and the dude 48. Yup! She’s determined she wants kids. It’s funny cause I just knew she was gone be the sh*t stirrer. But she seems so sweet on the show, for now.
Kelly big bodied azz was irking my soul, you hear me? She was just being a big dumb brat!
I watched it online so I didn’t see next week’s preview.
So when she brought him in at the end she pulled out her Timbs, Vaseline, and a straight edge.

Hello, Everyone.
Um-hmm…news woman says: “this video is hard to watch” ok, even though you can hardly make out what is happening because of the metal covering over the cage.
But when 5+ black dudes beat the living shyt outta this other dude for being gay, that video ran OVER AND OVER AND OVER again…and there was nothing shielding the visual — just straight up showed this young dude getting kicked and beaten all in his body and head for minutes! I mean they showed it for what felt like WEEKS then showed it yet again once it went to trial — repeatedly. I ain’t stupid! I’m so mad at white america right now — and they’re mad cuz Obama’s president.
But the dr told her her eggs were rotten. (his words)

Black man+ beating dog= death penalty
