Just when you think you've seen everything.

Central Florida resident Cynthia V. Anderson accused of drowning a two-week-old puppy - Orlando Sentinel



A Central Florida woman arrived at a Nebraska airport on Friday with three puppies and two dogs but grew desperate when she was told she couldn't fly with the pups because they were too young.

Then Volusia County resident Cynthia Anderson allegedly drowned one of the puppies — a Doberman — in an airport bathroom after trying to conceal the pooch in her carry-on luggage, according to the Grand Island Police.

The puppies, all believed to be three weeks old or less, were too young to fly, said Grand Island police Capt. Dean Elliott.

"Their eyes weren't even open," added Elliott.

Dogs must be at least 8 weeks old to fly. The other two puppies were picked up by the woman's parents, Elliot said.

It's unknown why the third puppy wasn't also picked up, said Elliott.

Anderson, 56, of Edgewater was seen entering a bathroom before another woman reported finding a dead Doberman puppy in the toilet.

In Volusia County, Anderson has a criminal record dating back to 2010, when she was arrested and fined for a charge of retail theft, according to court records.

She racked up other robbery-related charges over the next few years.

In 2011, she was sentenced to six months probation for grand theft charges. That same year, she was arrested again for issuing a worthless check, records allege.

Last year, she was arrested for battery and trespassing in a occupied structure and sentenced again to a six months' probation, records show.

She violated that probation and is awaiting sentencing in a grand-theft case from November of last year, records show.

Anderson was out on bail and is being held at Hall County Jail on charges of animal abuse.

Hell isn't hot or deep enough for her.

She should suffer the same fate.

The woman is obviously mentally ill. Unfortunately, she won't get the jail time she deserves. Let's hope she never had children.

I don't know how you stop these kind of people from inflicting damage on society.

She's been arrested a bunch of times....given probation....violated probation.....and still able to get on an airplane.

When she was caught with the puppies...they should have immediately been confiscated until their safety was secured. Wouldn't they do that with human babies?

The innocents must be provided for - at whatever expense.

[Baz]

In the story it says they don't know why her parents didn't take all 3 puppies.

Duh.....that's not very hard to figure out...she SELFISHLY wanted to keep one! Then when she couldn't....she DROWNED the poor little thing.

Hope she gets prison time and gets the crap beat out of her. What a waste of 02....

Drugs for sure. Meth, crack whatever. She is actually younger then me and looks 20 years older.

You can say what you want...the most vile of redneck idiots seem to prefer Florida.

Dante forgot to mention there is a 10th circle of hell for people like this who do things to defenseless animals.

Pointless... Human waste.

Wow, you guys do realize its dog, right?
A bad thing all around. Weird behavior. The woman looks to be a very sad case. Hard to believe now, but she must have once been someone's precious daughter full of joy and hope for the future.
Nothing good anyone can say about it.
But it is a dog.
I love my dogs. OK one dog now, we had to put one down day after Christmas. Very humanely, done by our very caring vet.
But they are dogs.

And as Will Rogers said "If dogs don't go to heaven, when I die I want to go wherever they went."

True and I get what you're saying but considering how rare life is in our Milky Way Galaxy I believe they have as much right to be here as we do. Like most things it depends on your point of view.

Or how many animals have suffered because of the stupidity of man? ... (I'm not a vegetarian)

[berettafan]

Wish people responded like this to abortions of humans.

She was inconvenienced by a puppy. She killed it.

How many 'women' were inconvenienced by babies in the past week and killed them?

Don't get me wrong, I love dogs. Had poodles growing up but allergies keep me dogless now. Sucks but there are worse problems to have.

But wtf is wrong with this country?

[widgeon13]

The current judicial interpretation of the U.S. Constitution regarding abortion in the United States, following the Supreme Court of the United States 1973 landmark decision in Roe v. Wade, and subsequent companion decisions, is that abortion is legal but may be restricted by the states to varying degrees.

You are forgetting one thing, abortion is legal. Cruelty to animals is not legal.

Interesting comparison and very good point you are making.

[berettafan]

Widgeon i believe none of the outrage in this thread is based on law. it's moral outrage.

which, I think, makes my point all the more sad to ponder.
