MIAMI (AP) - Miami-Dade police say a man depressed about his
divorce hurled his mother's dog to its death from a fourth-story
balcony.
Authorities say 50-year-old Carlos A. Varela was charged with
animal cruelty early Monday morning after throwing the dog off the
balcony of a Kendall apartment.
His mother, 72-year-old Bertha Varela, called police to report
the incident. According to the arrest report, Carlos Varela told
police he was depressed about his divorce and took his anger out on
the dog. The name and breed of the dog was not released.
A bond hearing for Carlos Varela is scheduled for Tuesday, and
he is set to be arraigned June 30.

It is a well known fact that people who abuse animals, go on to more violent crimes. This is the tip of the iceberg. Should have thrown himself over instead, and done us all a favor.

Report Abuse

A depressed person that chooses to harms others instead of themselves is BAD NEWS. His mother is lucky she wasn’t on the balcony, I bet he would have thrown her, too.

sweetnsour that’s got to be the most pathetic excuse for an analogy that I’ve ever heard. I bet you’d feel differently if this was you or your kids animal.

Report Abuse

oh really you think if he throws a defenseless animal off a balcony he would hesistate to throw a person.  most serial killers start with animal abuse. i just hope they put him in a jail cell with buba or better yet if he was so depressed why didnt he just jump save the tax payers some money.

Report Abuse

At least he did not go on a shooting spree and kill people.  It could have been worse.  He did not kill his ex wife.  He did not rob a bank or molest a child.  He did something wrong but, all dogs go to heaven.
