Update on the Byron Animal Cruelty Case

An update to the Byron, GA animal cruelty case I blogged about here. It seems that the animal abuser in this story, Jason Allman, has a history of animal abuse:
Mr. Allman is no stranger to the court system of Byron Georgia. He has been in court before, concerning the dissapearance of pets in the neigborhood. He admitted to trapping and “disposing” of neighborhood cats and other animals.

This wasn't a simple case of "killing" an animal in cold blood. Allmon first beats the dog with a hammer, then shoots it fourteen times! Amazingly, Allman's gun even had a silencer on it. As the article points out, who even needs a silencer on their gun anyway?

As disturbing as this story is, it also highlights an even deeper problem:
How is such a monster still allowed to walk the streets? Because, the corruption in this area goes so deeply that the local Animal Control Officer in Byron, Marshal Peacock, seems to enjoy breaking the legs of stray dogs, and then shooting them.

Once again, a story that seems to be all too common in Georgia - yet another horribly corrupt and ineffective county animal control department. But while this AC deserves to be condemned, I'd also like to know what the state Department of Agriculture is doing to stop this kind of abuse?

There's a link to a website which provides more information about this horrible crime and it's poor victim, Zoie. I encourage everyone to visit the site, but be prepared to be outraged!

The dog was never hit with a hammer. Don't believe everything people say, but I know for a fact that the dog was never hit with a hammer.

Thank you for "clearing the air".

Is there truth to the crulety alligations against Peach Co. Animal Control?
