Pennsylvania: Idiot Dylan Tressler posts photo of himself holding two ducks which were brutally killed; moron Josh Jenkins-Howenstine charged with animal cruelty

PENNSYLVANIA -- A disturbing photo that is circulating on social media shows a golfer holding up two dead ducks.

The ducks lived at Duck Hollow Golf Course in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

 

 

"They are residents of the golf course, and they are well-known throughout the golf course community," said Trooper Robert Broadwater.

Duck Hollow Golf Course only had two white ducks. They were inseparable and wandered around the course, following the golfers every day.

"They do follow them around, back and forth to the club house, and back and forth to the parking lot," Broadwater said.

Now, the golfing community in Uniontown is outraged after a photo surfaced on social media, showing a golfer holding up the two ducks, which were killed over the weekend. There is speculation they were run over.

State police are actively investigating and did several interviews Tuesday.

WPXI spoke to Dylan Tressler, the man in the photo who said he and his family members are now receiving death threats. He confirmed he took the photo with the dead ducks, but claims he isn't the one who killed them; when he found them, he says they were already dead. He also said he regrets taking the photo.

Yeah I pick up dead things all the time, smile and pose for photos and then post these photos online. In fact, I came across a dead baby just yesterday. It was just lying there, totally dead, y'know? I picked it up, hung it upside down. It was soooo funny! LOL! 💀 😆😆😆😆😆😆 💀

 

A Duck Hollow Course official said that state police were immediately contacted, saying in part, "We had two ducks. The ducks and all of the wildlife are a part of what makes Duck Hollow a special place."

Troopers say they could file animal-cruelty charges.

Update: 

Dylan Tressler was cleared of torturing and killing the ducks, but he's still guilty of being an odious jackass.

Police have said they have identified another man Josh Jenkins-Howenstine, aka Bubbie Jenkins, 21, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania as the suspect and they have arrested and charged him with cruelty to animals. Sources say he purposely ran down the ducks and killed them with a golf cart.

Of course, now Bubbie is telling the cops he was sh*tfaced drunk while driving a golf cart at Duck Hollow golf course and that he MAY have run over both ducks... but IF he did do it, it certainly wasn't intentional. IF he did do it, it would've been a complete accident. 

Yeah right. If you believe that, you also believe Kim Kardashian is "all natural".

 

Bubbie may want to get re-inked to add "and twelve jurors"

New York: Rensselaer County Police Officers Tyler Sammon and Matt Spath accused of deliberately chasing and exhausting groundhog and then running over and killing it

NEW YORK -- Two police officers are accused of ruthlessly chasing down a groundhog with their golf course and running over it.

The officers, who work with the Rensselaer police department in upstate New York, were suspended with pay on Friday pending an investigation over an incident at a Troy golf club which the chief of police says has 'humiliated' him.

The officers have been identified by Rensselaer Chief of Police Rick Fusco as Tyler Sammon and Matt Spath, according to News 10.

The incident took place during a police union's golf tournament at the Frear Park Golf Course in the city of Troy last Friday. There were at least 80 officers participating in the tournament.

Authorities say witnesses saw the men chase down the critter and deliberately run over it, killing it.

'When you're talking about harming an innocent animal, this is embarrassing,' Fusco said. 'I'm humiliated.'

Fusco said he will attempt to fire both officers if an investigation finds them guilty.

'Things in this country, with police officers right now, are not good. You have an innocent animal killed by a police officer, it's a perfect storm. I understand the outrage and I support the outrage because if this happened, I'm outraged myself,' he told WNYT .

'They're police officers if they did this and intentionally ran over an animal and killed it, that's disturbing to me.'

Sammon has been an officer for three years and Spath for eight, reported the outlet.

Troy City Council President Carmella Mantello said the city has zero tolerance for that behavior, according to TWC News.

Fusco admitted that the incident came to the department's attention from Facebook, when a witness from Troy posted it as a status and others began copying the status to the Rensselaer County police department's inactive page.

The original status, which read:

'While playing Frear Park golf course today, I witnessed two people in a golf cart chase down a woodchuck until it couldn't run anymore and then they ran over it with their golf cart.'

'The woodchuck managed to crawl about ten feet and rolled around a little before it died. I later learned that the two people were police officers from the City of Rensselaer, playing in a golf tournament. To the both of you: you guys must really feel good about yourselves, killing an innocent animal. To make it worse, there was a baby woodchuck nearby on hole number 12 probably wondering where it's mother was.'

Outrage followed the posts.

'Haha... put on administrative leave ...That is a joke!...They should be fired immediately!!!!!!!!' wrote one person.

'Someone with a sadistic streak like this has no business in a career of protecting and serving,' wrote another.

New York: Authorities investigating reports that two police officers used a golf cart to purposely run over and kill a groundhog

NEW YORK -- Authorities say they're investigating reports that two police officers used a golf cart to purposely run down and kill a groundhog during a tournament hosted by an upstate New York police department's union.

Officials in Troy said Monday that witnesses reported seeing the cart drive over tee boxes and onto greens at the city-owned Frear Park Golf Course on Friday afternoon. City Council President Carmella Mantello says officials have been told two men used the cart to hunt down the animal and run it over near one of the course's holes.

"That's crazy, that's crazy," said golfer Rich Warren, playing Monday on the Troy Municipal course. "You don't have to chase one down. They don't come after you, they stay on the edge of the woods. Once in a while they come out, they don't bother anybody."

William Meissner, identified by WNYT as a former head of the Troy Housing Authority, took to Facebook to describe the scene at Frear Park Golf Course last Friday afternoon.

"While playing Frear Park golf course today, I witnessed two people in a golf cart chase down a [groundhog] until it couldn't run anymore," said Meissner, "and then they ran over it with their golf cart. The [groundhog] managed to crawl about ten feet and rolled around a little before it died."

Stock photo of mama groundhog with her babies. The
gleeful enjoyment of torturing and killing innocent
animals is disgusting. If these are police officers,
they need to be fired immediately.

"To the both of you: you guys must really feel good about yourselves, killing an innocent animal. To make it worse, there was a baby woodchuck nearby on hole number 12 probably wondering where it's (sic) mother was. DON'T EVER COME BACK TO FREAR PARK."

The incident occurred while the police union for the department in the nearby city of Rensselaer was hosting a tournament. More than 80 people participated, not all of them police officers.

Officials in both cities say they're investigating the incident.

WHY IT'S NOT "JUST A GROUNDHOG":
There is something wrong with people who gain enjoyment from the suffering of others. Who, in history, has been like this? Ted Bundy? The BK Killer? The Boston Strangler? It is even more disturbing that someone sworn to protect and serve may have been the ones who did this horrific deed. Animals feel pain and terror just like we do. A groundhog feels pain and terror just like your beloved cat or dog.

Florida: Widow files lawsuit after her husband dies trying to protect his Shih Tzu named Shayna

FLORIDA -- We often hear of community residents upset about “condo commandos” overzealously enforcing the community’s rules and regulations. What about those times when a board chooses not to make an issue over rule infractions?

An 83-year-old Port St. Lucie man died more than two months after being attacked by a pit bull in February 2009 and his widow,  Suzanne Klatch, and adult son, Avery Stephen Klatch, are suing the dog’s owners for wrongful death.

The civil suit filed last week in the 19th Circuit Court of St. Lucie County also names Cascade at St. Lucie West Residents’ Association and the association’s management company as defendants for allegedly failing to enforce dog weight limits and leash laws in the subdivision’s covenants.

It also names insurance companies representing the Cutlers, the homeowners association and the management company as defendants for allegedly failing to pay Mr. Klatch’s medical bills.

According to the complaint, Robert J. Klatch was riding in a golf cart Feb. 11, 2009, in the Cascades at St. Lucie West neighborhood when his shih tzu, Shayna, was attacked by a pit bull owned by Harvey Cutler and Jane Cutler. 

The lawsuit states the Cutlers’ dog, named Buddy, was “unleashed and running loose.”

Klatch was thrown from the cart and bitten as he tried unsuccessfully to save his dog, according to the lawsuit. He died April 21, 2009, as a result of the injuries, according to the family’s attorney.

In Cascades at St. Lucie West, the board and manager allegedly failed to take owners to task for having overweight dogs off leash in the community.

If the association and/or manager were in the process of addressing Mr. Cutler’s violation and have letters to demonstrate their intention to enforce the restriction, it could make a difference in the outcome of this litigation.
