Security Video Captures CEO Beating 4-Month-Old Puppy: 'Nothing Illegal About What I Did'

https://www.newsweek.com/security-video-captures-ceo-beating-4-month-old-puppy-nothing-illegal-about-what-i-did-1531183

ALos Angeles CEO has claimed himself as a victim of extortion after a concierge in his condo building caught him on security camera beating his four-month-old puppy.

Additionally, the CEO claimed that what he didn't wasn't illegal, though he's currently under investigation by police for the incident.

On August 22. Jeffrey Previte, the CEO of EBI Consulting, was captured on camera at the Seychelle Condominiums building in Santa Monica, California hoisting his puppy, Beachy, outside of his residence.

Video of the incident shows Previte finding something on the ground near Beachy and then angrily seizing the animal by the right side of its head with his left fist. He yanks the dog off the ground, fist clenched around its skin, before slapping the dog while shaking it around.

If he is violent to the animal he will be violent against his spouse.

Too many pop ups could hardly make sense of it.

Bastard. It is illegal to beat puppies.

If he does this outside in front of people, what does he do inside, where no one can see?

I'm not sure you're competent to render a judgment on legal, illegal, or feloniously criminal.

First let me mention that he is co-CEO of an environmental company

The Daily Mail reported that Previte is an ‘avid hunter and outdoorsman,’ citing his now-deleted Facebook page.

The outlet published several photos sourced from his social media account showcasing Previte hunting, including posing next to a dead deer.

The 2011 photo is accompanied by the caption: ‘I didn’t mean to kill Bambi.’
