SICKOS SHOOT JACK RUSSELL TO MAKE BELT
'I SAW MY PUPPY'S SKIN HANGING THERE'
'I SAW MY PUPPY'S SKIN HANGING THERE'
By TODD VENEZIA
A 23-year-old woman has been accused of being a real-life Cruella de Vil -- for allegedly killing a helpless puppy so she could skin it and make a belt for herself.
Krystal Lynn Lewis of Muskogee, Okla., allegedly launched her evil plot earlier this week when she had a male friend pump a clip full of bullets into little Joplin, a Jack Russell terrier with white fur and a black spot that she got as a gift from her lesbian ex-lover, cops said.
She allegedly skinned the animal and started tanning its hide -- but was caught before she could complete her cruel couture.
When confronted about the gruesome crime by the woman who gave her the dog, Lewis allegedly admitted that she was as heartless as the infamous villain from Disney's "101 Dalmatians."
"When have you known me to have a heart?" she told her stunned former gal pal Jessica Nichols, according to the Muskogee Phoenix newspaper.
Nichols said Joplin was born on April 3, and she gave the pup to Lewis because she had to move and could no longer take care of him. She said she later asked for the dog back, but Lewis wouldn't return him.
Sometime this week, Lewis allegedly had friend Austin Michael Mullins, 26, shoot little Joplin 10 times with a .22-caliber pistol, authorities said.
Lewis then told Nichols what she had done. But the ex-lover told the paper that she refused to believe the woman could really be that cruel -- until she actually saw a photo of the carcass in the paper.
"I still wasn't sure she had done it until I opened the paper and saw my puppy's skin hanging there," said Nichols.
Authorities found the dog's white and black hide pinned to a board and left to dry inside Lewis' apartment.
The horrifying sight disgusted the officers who found the dog.
"We're talking about a 6- or 7-week-old defenseless puppy," said sheriff's deputy George Roberson. "That's pretty heinous and sadistic."
Both Lewis and Mullins allegedly admitted to killing the puppy and skinning it.
The were both slapped with felony animal-cruelty charges and held on $25,000 bail. A judge ordered a mental competency hearing for both of them.
The pair of accused puppy skinners now face up to five years in jail and a $500 fine.
"Why did she have to do what she did?" Nichols told the paper.
"I just can't believe she didn't give the puppy back to me," Nichols said.

Man that is one sick woman. The things that people do are just freakin amazing. But what is amazing to me is that she had her friend pump a "whole clip of bullets" into a puppy. What the hell would it have looked like after that. You hunters like An Edjamikated Redneck can tell you that is crazy talk.
I remember one of my first jobs as a accountant was working in a furriers. They had mink and fox and muskrat and every freakin kind of fur imaginable. Fur is really delicate and they watched every inch of it. So besides the fact that it was a defenseless puppy, what the hell where they thinking. It was obviously a lovers revenge thing.
Anybody who has dogs and are dating an unstable crazy person should be careful. Just a word to the wise. So to speak.

Not to mention the Travis the face-eating chimp story on Yahoo today. Damn is someone gonna pay. it really gets expensive when the victim don't croak. Care in perpetuity- woof.
I'm sticking with horses and birds. They don't snack on human lips and eyebrows and tracheae.
I think Travis liked the Oscar Gamble look. Just sayin'.
How's the weather there in Brooklyn? Are your Florida relatives enjoying it as much as you enjoyed your visit here? They say there are frogs in the sandtraps at the US Open.

I don't see how they are calling this animal cruelty, if they killed it on the first shot.
Man the weather is just like Florida. It's hot humid and sticky and a drizzling rain is falling. Icky.
Jason, they said they used a "clip"
of bullets. That had to be more than one shot don't you think.

Oh, I agree they are bad people, but I can already see how they might defend themselves in court.
Also, I refuse to call them nut jobs. There's nothing crazy in what they did, just a whole lot of evil.
They should have squished it with their car. What's wrong with these people?
please leave off the cruelty to animal stories
they re very depressing
plus next thing you know someone
will be squashing insects
Anyone who squashes insects is evil in my opinion.
I always pick them up and put them outside while singing "Born Free."
I usually let the spiders stay. What I really worry about is when a gecko gets inside; have to catch them before they starve!

Flies are disgusting insects and a threat to human health. link.
I use one of these for taking them out-very effective.
Direct hits can be messy though, so I recommend an oblique angle.
I terminate fire ants, wherever I find them, with extreme prejudice. Same with any insects, particularly cockroaches, that enter my home without permission (and none is ever given). No remorse.
Otherwise insects are cool with me.
Burglars are treated the same as cockroaches.
So blogging cockroach, you're cool and all, just keep yer distance.

Absolutely!
Outdoors, even flies have a purpose, and I leave them alone.
Well, this 'clip of bulloets' could work out 2 ways.
1) The idiot behind the trigger has no idea what he was doing, and missed teh first 8 times.
2)Maybe the crazy witch ws too lazy to put in the belt holes after she tanned the hide, and had a 9mm belt buckle she wanted to use?
As for point two, yes, I am kidding.
This was not only one sick witch, but the friend who actually shot this defensless dog is even sicker.
I say lets give them both the chair, tan THEIR hides and sell them as book covers for PETA.
Maybe the shooters were NYPD wanna-bes. Was the puppy getting married in the morning? Was he at a peeler joint? Did they fire over 50 shots and only hit the puppy 10 twice? Did anyone tell Sharp Al?
Maybe that puppy has too much white for Al.
Speaking of fire ants and flies, here are some flies I'd be happy to welcome into my yard.
Looking at the photo of the JRT pup, all I have to say is that any garment made out of it will be really cute.
