Houston man arrested for throwing 4-pound chihuahua against Starbucks window

?itok=GQIQfAkq

Larry McHale was arrested and charged with animal cruelty for throwing a four-pound chihuahua into a Starbuck's at 8821 Westheimer in Houston, Texas, Tuesday evening reports khou11news.

The manager of the store, Jasmine Hyder, called 911 after the one-year-old puppy's impact hit so hard that it sounded as if the window was about to break. McHale yelled at Hyder ranting, "... you don't care about humans. You only care about a dog."

Hyder had been banned from the store three months ago for being abusive and harassing employees and customers.

When Katrina happened a lot of people wouldn't go to shelters or be evacuated because they wouldn't take the pets too. When someone who cares about animals sees a pet get abused it is a very traumatic experience. I can't stand it when I see people yelling at their pets (or children, or spouses, or employees, or at an employee). I am glad the lil fur baby is getting a new home. The guy needs mental help.

or even lock him up if he can't manage to behave.

Sociopaths suck. They should never have access to animals or children, especially.
