A Colorado Springs man was arrested after he reportedly killed his
girlfriends puppy.
Springs police were called Thursday night to the 1100 block of Mazatlan
Circle on the report of a domestic disturbance. The woman told police
she left the home to "cool off" after she had a verbal altercation with her
live-in boyfriend. While she was gone, her boyfriend, Christopher Blackstone,
tried to contact her through text messages and phone calls, but she didn't
respond.
She became concerned when one of the text messages stated that he
killed her puppy because she refused to return her calls.
The woman returned to the home and discovered the puppy dead inside a
dumpster. Blackstone was arrested for cruelty to animals and harassment.
He was also charged with felony criminal mischief when he kicked and
damaged a police vehicle.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
