A Candler man is accused of beating his 20 pound dog to death because he says it attacked him. Kristopher Stroupe is being charged with cruelty to animals. Deputies says Stroupe went to Mission Hospital for dog bite wounds and claimed he had to kill the dog to stop the attack. The Buncombe County Sheriff's Office says their investigation showed no evidence to support his story and found the dog, "Bandit" had died from severe blows to the head. Stroupe is being held on a 15-thousand dollar bond.
I often worry if something happens to me or my parents what would happen to Pepper. Let's be honest. Ginger would be easy to rehome. But Pepper is 13 now. He is grumpy. He is on insulin.
I love him... My parents love him... But most people think his growling means he is going to bite When I know it is just him talking.
Reports said this guy went into the hospital for a dog bite when his story did not make since. Investigators went to the home to find that bandit had severe blows to the head from a had weight. Stroupe said Bandit had bit him and he then hit the dog. Stroupe is being held on a 15 thousand dollar bond.
Now I'm am afraid after Pepper took care of me all of these years. If someone like this hurt my Pepper I would come back from the dead! A sane person the is bit by a dog might hit the dog right then! But you don't beat it to death with a hand weight!
This breaks my heart... Bandit's owner thought he was left to a safe and loveing home. Why didn't Stroupe just find Bandit anoth home.
