A Missouri woman was arrested this week for allegedly burning her dog alive before posting about it on Facebook.
“I’m on killa mode …..#killdogs.com…..today,” wrote Adrienne Martin of St. Louis. “I mean what I say and I say what I mean….#alldogsdontgoheaven.com,” she also wrote.
The Facebook posts apparently drew attention from local authorities, according to Gawker.com. Two weeks ago, the dog was found badly burned in the backyard of a residence in St. Louis.
UPDATE: A woman with the handle “Melissaizalwayspretty Gurlroccn Martingray” wrote on Martin’s Facebook, saying that the dog, named “Brownie,” apparently attacked “helpless children who … NEVER HARMED HIM … [Those] kids did NOTHING TO THAT DOG.” She added, “NO 1 cares about the innocent babies just the dog….”
Initially, the St. Louis Animal Cruelty Task Force did not know who burned the dog, but they looked at Martin’s Facebook posts and then arrested her on charges of animal cruelty.
The first incriminating post was made three days before the dog was found burned.
“MF’s is killing me about this stupid dog ….keep it real…you didn’t take care nor like or love the MF…on the TV str8 lies …#laughingeveryday….” she wrote on Facebook after apparently burning the animal.
CBS St. Louis reported that the dog died soon after succumbing to organ failure due to its burns.
“This is one of the most disturbing abuse cases I have ever dealt with,” said Stray Rescue Founder Randy Grim. “It has stricken our community to the core of our hearts, but I am inspired by how swiftly we have been able to respond to these awful cases. Brownie deserves justice.”
Grim told the Daily RFT: “That combination of arrogance and evilness is a volatile combination. We’re all safer with her behind bars.”
He added to the publication that the dog’s owner was Martin’s sister-in-law.
According to police, Martin originally denied responsibility but then admitted she was guilty.
“Today some justice has been served,” Grim said. “It`s not going to bring him back and I wish that he got to experience the love here at Stray Rescue, but at least finally someone was arrested.”
