A Fort Bragg soldiefor killing two News reported the update May 7. Two dogs found in NC, their throats slit and their bodies tossed on roadside Al Richard Charlie, 32, was charged with two counts of larceny of a canine, two counts of possession of stolen property, two counts of animal cruelty and two counts of improper disposal of a domestic animal when he was taken into custody Thursday by Cumberland County Sheriff's Office detectives. All of these charges will be charges at a felony level except improper disposal, which is a misdemeanor. Investigators learned Charlie went to the home of the dogs' owner sometime during the evening of May 4, where he killed two dogs, now identified as Lucky and Wanagit, by slitting their throats with a knife. Then investigators say Charlie placed the dogs in trash bags, drove to an area in the 2500 block of Camden Road and dumped them. Not only does Charlie have a prior charge of domestic violence, he was also charged in 2013 with unlawfully discharging a firearm. Charlie is in jail on $70,000 bond, and is set to go before a judge on Friday.

If he is convicted of the crimes he is accused of, I hope he gets the maximum punishment.
I abhor people who abuse/kill defenseless animals, particularly when they are someone's pets.

A friend of mine bought one just to say he has one. And by the way, the recoil is not as bad as you think.

If found guilty, lock him in a box with dead animals (that died of other causes, don't kill more innocent animals) forcing him to smell their rotten decaying flesh. Once the smell is gone, slit his throat and let him answer for his crimes.

SGT (Join to see), when I think of the creatures of the earth, I'm always drawn to Genesis 1:28, which goes in part like this: "...and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
I'm not trying to create any religious debate, but this verse for me is simply my personal mantra regarding our responsibilities over the creatures of the earth. For me, I believe that "dominion" has a double meaning. Yes, we have dominion to use creatures as food sources, for clothing, even beasts of burden. However, I believe also that said dominion has a stewardship component. We have an obligation not to senselessly harm, torture or kill the creatures of the earth entrusted to our care. Such lack of stewardship is an abuse of the dominion that we have over the creatures of the earth.
Such abusers should be punished.

I agree fully... Our responsibility is the ethical treatment of animals. Yes we need to eat but we also need to husband our resources wisely.

LTC Stephen C. , what you wrote is so true. Animals are so dependent on their owners. I can just visualize him calling the dogs over to him, then grabbing them and slitting their throats, then walking away as if nothing happened. I would love to know more about this soldier and why he did it.

The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

" Charlie have a prior charge of domestic violence, he was also charged in 2013 with unlawfully discharging a firearm."
and Soldier are not compatible, if he was convicted he should have been administratively discharged. The Lautenberg amendment would preclude him from being to perform his duties.
If not convected, it may not have been enough for a Bar to reenlistment or 14-6 separation

With all those charges against him, how is he staying in the Army? The guy's a lunatic.

Unless his CoC was completely oblivious to what was going on with him, they should have been tracking his charge of DV. Which would, just like SGM said, been barred and separated. IF he was charged, but not convicted or plead guilty to DV and brought down to a lesser charge, like Assault it is possibly that the Lautenberg would not have been seen. Don't know the whole story, but just my opinion.

Lets remember YOU may be charged with anything.. CONVICTED is what implies your guilty, not charged..

Keep that POS there. Animal abuse is one sign LE uses as a red flag as a potential abuser of people. Plus most of us are animal lovers.

You are correct about that SSGT L OI. Most all abusers and serial killers have been animal abusers.

I'm with you MAJ Jim Steven. I know a guy who was Mr. Everything in his hometown....popular, stud athlete, smart etc etc....went on to college...became a teacher.....then a week before his wedding....bam....nailed for arranging a meeting with a minor. Point of the story....not only is it scary not knowing the people around you....it is also scary "not knowing" who you know.

MAJ Jim Steven , I thought I knew my neighbor. We've lived next door for 17 years. We've done a lot of things together. Now I found out he abused his kids and wife. Yesterday he was screaming at my wife about the yard people making too much noise. My wife is scarred of him now. I called him about it, but I'm not going to say what I said to him. Let's just say if he does it again, well you know. Today I had to put more lock latches on our gates to make it harder for him to come over. We used to take care of their dog when they were out of town. After his wife moved out, he kept the dog. For the past two days we haven't heard Macy barking. Found out he had her put down because he didn't want his ex to have her.

CPT (Join to see) and SSgt L OI, I wonder how many more animal killings he has committed. I feel sure this wasn't his first.

The military's first and final straw with him should've been the domestic violence. it's regretful about the dogs, but thankfully it wasn't a person. I hope they lock him up for a good long time to do some thinking.

SPC Jeffrey Bly , I agree 100%. It's one thing to kill a defenseless animal, enjoying it is sick.

If he is guilty, throw him under the jail. There is no room in society for those who abuse animals or anyone who can't defend themselves.
Animal abuse is proven to lead to much worse behavior and is a probable indicator of psychopathic behavior.
