no. not living thru the dog. It's the power and the control that they believe THEY have by owning one. And they don't have power/control because they don't know how to raise/treat a pit. They probably beat and starve it just like Hoggetta did.

A Newark woman was arrested and charged with torture Tuesday in the case of a starved pit bull puppy allegedly thrown 19 stories into a garbage chute and left for dead, New Jersey officials tell FoxNews.com.

Kisha Curtis, the 28-year-old owner, was charged Tuesday with "torture and torment of a living creature," said Matthew Stanton, a spokesman for the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The fourth-degree criminal charge was upgraded from previously filed animal cruelty charges, Stanton said. Curtis faces 18 months in jail or a $3,000 fine if convicted.

The 1-year-old pit bull, hailed by animal care workers as a "miracle dog," was discovered March 16 by maintenance workers inside a garbage chute at the Garden Spires apartment building -- a 550-unit complex in Newark notorious for drug trade and other crimes.

The dog was found so brutalized his bones protruded from his fur and he had no body temperature. Animal care workers with the Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park called it one of the worst cases of cruelty they've ever seen.

The mug shot:

Someone needs to starve this cow and throw her down a garbage chute. There's more meat on those fat jowls than the dog has on his entire body.

Still no reason to own a dog.

What evil looks like.

Kisha Curtis (right) appears on video for court (By Jerry McCrea/The Star-Ledger). Curtis has been charged with leaving a 1-year-old pitbull, named Patrick (By Jennifer Brown/The Star-Ledger), chained to a railing in Newark, then leaving the city for a week.

Newark woman pleads not guilty to abusing pit bull thrown down trash chute

A Newark woman accused of tying up a 1-year-old pit bull and then leaving New Jersey pleaded not guilty today to animal cruelty charges. Public defender Regina Lynch entered the plea on behalf of Kisha Curtis, 27, who is in the Essex County Jail, during Curtis’ first appearance via video conference today in Superior Court in Newark.

Curtis faces two counts of tormenting and torturing a living creature by failing to provide sustenance and two counts of abandonment, said Assistant Essex County Prosecutor Cheryl Cucinello.

After the hearing, Tammie Curtis said her daughter left the dog, whose rescuers named him Patrick, tethered at the Garden Spires apartments in Newark and went to Albany, N.Y.

“Anybody would take that dog,” the mother said. “If she tied the dog, she didn’t leave the dog to die.”

Patrick was tied to a stairway railing with a leather leash, Mark Ortman, a security guard at the 520-unit complex, said today in a phone interview. He said residents started complaining about the dog about a month and a half ago.

“It would whimper, and it would yelp when you would come up to it,” Ortman said.

Judge Amilkar Velez-Lopez kept Curtis’ bail at $10,000 bond or $1,000 cash and forbid her to have contact with pets.

If convicted, Curtis faces 18 months in prison, a $3,000 fine and community service.

Patrick, A Video Update

Here’s a video update posted by the Newark Star-Ledger yesterday on Patrick — the starved, abused and discarded pit bull who has captured America’s heart.

Two weeks have passed since Patrick was rescued — minutes before the bin he was in was headed to the trash compactor — after being tossed down a garbage chute in a high-rise Newark apartment building.

Wow...total meltdown though. I haven't seen a meltdown like that since Japan's nuclear reactors got hit by an earthquake...

(too soon?

)

It's not that hard.
