MIRAMAR, Fla. -- A man was arrested on charges of killing his son's 2-month-old black Labrador puppy by throwing it five stories to the ground after it urinated and defecated inside their apartment.

Josper Sanon, 49, took the dog and flung it 25 feet through the air off their fifth-floor balcony, the arrest warrant said.

A police officer found Sanon's 16-year-old son Steve screaming and crying in the parking lot of their apartment.

Josper Sanon was arrested on charges of cruel death, pain and suffering of an animal, a third-degree felony. He was being held on $2,500 bail.

He faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Miramar police spokesman Bill Robertson said the fact that the dog was found 25 feet from the balcony shows the animal was thrown and did not accidentally fall.

Sanon's two children were placed in the temporary custody of a family member.

2. This guy better get a stiffer penalty than standing a corner

holding a sign.

I can't even find the words for how sick this makes me. The kids should be sent to foster homes. If they aren't already being physically abused, that's coming next imo.

3. That's always my point to people who don't ...

value animal life as I do. If someone can do something like that to an innocent dog, what do you think they're capable of doing to a child? I really think cruelty to animals shows a LOT about a person, especially an adult who has already pretty much had his/her sense of morality (or lack of it) instilled in them.

This stuff just makes me sick.

6. People get puppies without realizing how much work and responsibility...

...they are. So the poor thing pooped in the apartment and this asshole thinks it deserves to die because of that. :cry:

There isn't a punishment harsh enough for him.

9. Oh my god...

10. Unfortunately, the max isn't even close to harsh enough.

:cry:

11. That made me think of the movie Single White Female.

I like the movie, but I can't watch that scene where the puppy is thrown (off camera) out the window and onto the sidewalk.

There are too many movies that have an animal cruelty scene in them, and I hate that it might give people ideas.

12. Oh god yes I know.

That was awful. :cry:
