Ohio Hunter Faces Felony Charges for Killing Mans Dogs, Is Fired From Job

[SoCalNative]

A hunter accused of shooting and killing an Ohio man’s two beloved dogs is facing criminal charges — and he’s lost his job as well.

According to court records, Michael Chedester, of St. Clairsville, faces two felony counts of knowingly causing serious physical harm to a companion animal, according to the Intelligencer, the newspaper in nearby Wheeling, West Virginia.

The charges are the first of their kind under a recently signed Ohio law that allows felony counts for harm to a pet.

1. good, he needs to be charged

our last pet was a member of our family just as sure as I am. Anyone harm her would have been in serious trouble from my family if no one else.

I really dislike cruel and mean people, pretty simple

Rot in prison!

3. Believe it or not

Some states require, not just allow, shooting dogs that run deer. Don't know about Ohio but he could beat the rap.

6. MN doesn't require it, but it does allow it at certain times of year.

11. Excellent point.

I know folks who have rightfully lost dogs due to them chasing deer (Maine).

Anyone know what the Ohio laws are?
