Craigslist Dog Killer Jason Brown Tortured, Dismembered Five Dogs He Bought Through Website

The Inquisitr News

Craigslist dog killer Jason Brown has been apprehended and charged with five felony counts of willful torture of an animal and one count of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine). According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, Brown, 24, “killed and dismembered five dogs” in a Reno motel. At least two of the dogs, the site notes, were obtained “from a woman trying to find a new home for the pets.” Police arrested Brown on Wednesday afternoon. “We recognize that this is a community that cares deeply for our animals,” said Bob Harmon, of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office. “So this is a hard story for everyone, and it’s a difficult investigation, and we’re going to continue investigating until this goes to court.” The police report states that Brown was staying at a Super 8 Motel room in south Reno, 5851 South Virginia St., where the dismembered dogs were found at about 3:30 pm Tuesday.

Most all serial killers have a history of animal abuse.

That's why enforcement of animal cruelty laws is so important, on top of the heinousness of this type of crime.

Gaah. Never let him out from behind bars.

It was 6 dogs in total he was caught torturing and killing. I'm skeptical that's the total number in reality.


A Reno man who's been accused of dismembering five dogs at a Super 8 Motel in Reno faces an additional charge of willfully torturing a sixth dog at another local hotel, according to court documents.

Jason Brown, 24, is accused of six felony counts of torturing or maiming and killing an animal and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine.

His bail was raised Friday to $70,000 cash, up from $35,000, Washoe County Deputy District Attorney Derek Dreiling said.

Dreiling said video evidence of a sixth dog that was tortured and killed was recently found taken at a different hotel.

The above article says the most he could theoretically go to jail for is 24 years.

They said that if it were a felony, it would be too onerous to then have to investigate it.

They sure do seem to have resources to arrest people for all kinds of ridiculous shit, but not protect the helpless.

things done to pigs, which are very simular to dogs in intelligence and behavior. It's amazing to me how one act is just fine and the other is evil. Very interesting compartmentalization of the mind

unless you're able to check out any prospective adopters, do follow-ups, and guarantee that the animal is adapting well to its new home and being properly cared for.

I can't even imagine how that owner of the two chihuahuas must be feeling now.
