Deputy: US woman accused of skinning puppy, intending to make a belt from its hide
Associated Press | Jun 19, 09 12:27 PM CDT


A 23-year-old woman is accused of getting a friend to kill her Jack Russell terrier and skinning the puppy to make a belt out of its hide.

Krystal Lynn Lewis and Austin Michael Mullins, 26, were being held Friday in the Muskogee County jail on $25,000 bail each. They were charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals.

"We're talking about a 6- or 7-week-old defenseless puppy," said sheriff's deputy George Roberson. "That's pretty heinous and sadistic."

A Muskogee County judge ordered a mental competency hearing for both defendants.

Lewis wanted the puppy, named Poplin, killed because it was a gift from an ex-lover with whom she doesn't get along, said Muskogee County sheriff's deputy George Roberson.

Roberson said Mullins shot the terrier 10 times with a .22-caliber pistol. Lewis skinned the animal at her apartment and nailed the hide to a board.

Out of the hide of these two assholes.

Cruella de Ville is a fictional character, shame that all the sudden she's now a role model.

And people wonder why I've grown less and less fond of people as I grow older, shit like this.

I have two Rat Terriers - close to Jack Russell. Sweetest, kindest, smartest, most loyal dogs I've ever had. I can even speak about this.

I'm surprised there was a hide left to skin. I hope they get locked up for a long time.
