France: Couple Beheaded Their Dog to Avenge Their Dead Cat

A shocking incident from France has left the world in disbelief. A couple used a chainsaw to behead their dog as an act of vengeance for their deceased cat. The couple, now imprisoned, brutally killed the unfortunate dog in a horrifying manner. Police discovered the animal surrounded by a pool of blood during a domestic violence call at the couple’s home in Levis, northern France, last May. The woman confessed in court that she slit the throat of the Argentine Mastiff when she found her partner’s cat dead, allegedly killed by the dog, according to Le Parisien. They claimed they wanted to euthanize the ‘dangerous’ dog, with the man stating that decapitation was the only method he could think of. Additionally, they admitted to consuming large amounts of alcohol before the gruesome attack. The man, who was under treatment for drug and alcohol use, admitted to ‘executing’ the dog to avenge his cat. Despite plans to start a pet breeding business, prosecutors described the act as ‘deafening animal cruelty.’ Defense lawyers argued they were heavily intoxicated and one had a personality disorder. The 38-year-old man was sentenced to 18 months in prison, while the 31-year-old woman received a two-year sentence.
