Texas: Teen, 18, throws lit fireworks at their chained dog while 13 year-old girl records it

TEXAS -- Animal Care Services officers are seizing two dogs from a home where people were seen popping off fireworks near an animal while it was tied up.

Home surveillance video of the incident was provided to KRIS6 News this week. The homeowner was very disturbed by the behavior of the children next door.

  

 

 

 

The video shows a 18-year old man and 13-year old girl in their backyard. A tied up dog tries to run away as the fuse to a firecracker is lit, but it has no chance.

The man then came back and lit more fireworks next to the dog. It appears that a girl was recording everything herself while the man used the fireworks.

Animal Care Services obtained the warrant to take custody of the dogs and did so Friday afternoon.

 

  

 

The dogs were taken to Animal Control for evaluation. The family will have to appear in court in 10 business days if they want to try and get their dogs back.

Once the police finish their investigation, they will work with the District Attorney to decide on the charges against the people in the video.
