A New York man who stabbed a pitbull to death with a butcher's knife has been arrested after lying to cops about the animal attacking him beforehand. Thomas Hemmingway, 31, was arrested and charged with animal cruelty on Monday after fatally stabbing the dog last month, according to Syracuse Police. Hemmingway previously told officers that he had stabbed the black and white female pitbull in self-defense, claiming that the dog had bitten him on his right leg. But the Animal Cruelty Division investigated the attack further - and unearthed new surveillance footage that proved the dog had not attacked Hemmingway. He also had no injuries on his leg where he claimed to have been bitten. Syracuse Police Department posted images of Hemmingway carrying out the violent attack on the innocent animal on Facebook, causing outrage among the community. The Facebook post described how Hemmingway walked along the sidewalk towards the dog and its owner, who has not been identified, and who was walking it on a leash. At some point, the owner let go of the leash and Hemmingway is seen approaching the dog with a large butcher's knife in his hand. He is pictured sporting a black shirt, jeans and sneakers, carrying a backpack while holding the sharp weapon in his hand. In a second image, Hemmingway is seen with the large butcher's knife raised over his head and aimed at the pitbull. Hemmingway is currently being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center.

After it was determined by the Animal Cruelty Division that Hemmingway did not stab the dog in self defense, police arrested him for Aggravated Animal Cruelty, an unclassified felony. 'I hope his cell mate is a dog lover who follows the local news,' one user commented online. 'How despicable! The owner of the dog did not react? Or ask for help?' another wrote. 'Cruel human should go on animal abuse registry. Animal abuse goes hand in hand with domestic violence,' a third user expressed.

Based off the other threads I've seen here there's a sizeable portion of this board who 100% supports what he did and likely aren't posting because they're bummed he's being legally held accountable and/or they know how poorly they'll come off for cheering violence against animals, even pitbulls, even though in other pitbull topics they openly call for culling that entire breed out of existence.

Much as I dislike them, I do not condone killing pitbulls.

Mandatory muzzles, and compulsory insurance for the owners to cover medical bills and compensation if their dog attacks.

Awwwww, we got an apologist for all the people who openly call for eradicating pitbulls from society saying it's about "responsible animal ownership"

How quaint.

Making it about racism was an extra nice touch of shitposting.

I've been to those threads, a plethora of people openly call for killing pitbulls and flat-out removing them as a breed from the planet as a measure for preventing them from maiming/killing something. Many here would absolutely use the Krogan genophage on pitbulls if they could.

Those were the people I was addressing, but you seemed to interpret that as anybody and everybody who has criticism of pitbull ownership for whatever reason.

Pretty much this. I hope he rots in prison for a very long time. That was sick and wrong.

You speak as though those are the same things. There is a huge difference between killing the ones who are already living on this planet and just not making new ones.

The only way to do that without actively killing ones who are alive is with some Krogan genophage. You're not going to be able to neuter and release all pitbulls and the people I'm addressing still wouldn't be happy with that because there'd still be pitbulls running around in the wild, which is their issue.

The people I'm addressing want pitbulls to be killed and culled from society as a means of protecting society, they just know how terrible that image is to actively cheer for when it happens because many people have more sympathy for animals being killed than human beings.

Number 1, stop typing like a sassy preteen.

Number 2, fuck the invisible people you're yelling at and pretending I'm defending when I'm saying they arent real.

Number 3, bless your dim little heart for comparing pitbulls to krogans. Couldnt have put it better myself.

You fucking first. Typing like some teenage edgelord bringing up racism and genocide in a conversation about animals and misrepresenting the people I was talking about. That's the reason I addressed you with such disrespect, because you demonstrated it was the degree you deserved.

Fuck your saying they're invisible people when they're very real people who post in every single hateboner thread in regards to pitbulls. Your shitty bias is showing, likely because similar to racists, you yourself don't see yourself as racist, or in this case as one of the people I'm addressing (which is interesting since you have ascribed the people I'm talking about to apparently mean anyone who criticizes pitbull ownership). There, since you wanted to make this so much about racism, I made it actually relevant to the convo.

Man, your head is so far up your own fucking ass I'm honestly amazed you're even able to have any sense of coherence in your posts.

This isn't the first violent attack against a dog in New York in the space of a year.
In June, a couple's dog was stabbed to death by a man with a knife in a dispute as they walked their pet in New York City's Central Park.

Right or wrong, people are getting sick of these murder hounds and fighting back preemptively.

The "real brainpower" here is you thinking the word genocide applies to animals.

Hey Champ, you ready to explain how it's "racist", another construct that only applies to humans?

You gave me an embarrassingly stupid shitpost as an emotional response in defense of the people I was addressing and you're having trouble justifying it. It's ok, I understand, your brain can only manage so much.

I don't discriminate against people who have brain functionality or capacity issues, however I'm not going to treat you with kid gloves just cause of it.

This is why you dont get mad at invisible people. It just doesnt come across very well when you've got 6 billion people in the world and not one single person doing the thing you're raving about.

You're the one who used the words and the people exist, so I don't know what point you think you're proving here. No matter how much you insist on them not existing, they still do.

Anyways, I'm done with your shitposting.
