Because he'll kill it. Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Jonathan Babineaux was arrested earlier on charges of animal cruelty, and now the dog has died. Based on initial reports, he makes Ron Artest look like Ace Ventura. He's been arrested on charges of felony animal cruelty. From 11Alive.com: According to Cpl. Darren Moloney of the Gwinnett County Police Department, Babineaux's wife took a dog to an animal emergency center in Gwinnett County on Sunday. The dog later died and the subsequent investigation led to an arrest warrant for Babineaux. According to Moloney, investigators believe Babineaux "somehow had a direct hand in killing the animal."I suppose I shouldn't presume guilt, and maybe this was an accident, but if it's not? What is your deal, Babineaux? You can't win a starting job with the Falcons, so you go home and whale on a dog?
Credit goes to Babineaux's wife for getting the dog some help (You take dead animals to the vet? I'll take you to the vet) and trying to save its life. She was too late. And if this was a malicious attack on an animal by Babineaux, the wife might want to start thinking about getting out, too.

I think every major city NEEDS AN AMIMAL POLICE SERVICE. Too many animals are abused fiscally and by just being thrown out. Throw the book at this inhuman torturing person. Wifey, if he will hurt a little defenceless dog, what do you think your chances are?

i, too, hate it when dogs are attacked fiscally [sic]
seriously, though, it's a real shame and a little frightening. we just got done in atlanta with the case of the 2 boys nuking a puppy in the microwave. such little regard for life.

I think someone should beat him till he needs to be taking to the hospital or worse. A defenseless dog, i bet you he feels really tough. I hope he gets the most severe penalty and does time.

Can you say SCUM! Beating a dog is the lowest behind beating a young child.
What comes around goes around, Maybe next season someone will break
his scull open, that would be ok with me!

Animal and child abuse just make me sick at my stomach. Both are defenseless against this type of abuse by the stronger among us. I for one get more and more upset with each reported episode. Recently the 2 criminals that tortured the puppy in the microwave received a 10 year sentence. I for one will be watching--they need to serve all 10 years. If there is animal abuse confirmed in this latest incident Babineaux should get the cell right beside the 2 puppy killers.

This guy's a huge scumbag. If the Falcons had any balls they'd can his @ss. I'm sure his contract allows him to be canned if he's convicted of a felony. He sucks anyway.

now i'm completely against animal creulty but when child molesters get probation and animal killers get 10 years something greatly wrong with the system.again i'm not saying they shouldnt be punished because they are sick but if you think as much of a dog or cats life as you do a human being raped and beaten i'm a little sorry for you.one young kids life being taken is far more important than all the dogs in atlanta.

The falcons should cut him. This is crazy. I will boycott anything falcon until he is gone. I will not watch their games, I will not buy anything having to do with them. I think it is unethical to have someone like that on a pro team that is support by fans. If I had an employee that did something like this I would fire him.

What a worthless waste of human skin...there are a lot of decent athletes in this country ready and willing to take his job, the Falcons don't need a soul-less piece of crap like that to drag the team down. Falcons, don't support him; and if they do, fans, don't support the Falcons. Karma WILL get around to him...

Hey Coward,
This should be your timeline for the next quarter century:
1. The Falcons cut your fat ass.
2. Wife gets divorce.
3. You get sent to the hole and raped repeatedly.
4. You die and go straight to hell, you piece of crap!
"F" you Jonathan. You sick roided-up, bastard!

Another media blitz.. no trial..no evidence.. no conviction..except for many of the above. Too, what do we do with all those that kill foxes, coyotes, buffalo, deer, cows, etc. The dog is defenseless.. for the most part.. but, the sentences are too extreme for the crime. Ten years for nuking a dog.. shameful..but, not ten years.

Those people who physically abuse such a defenseless little animals should be dealt with the same way or worse. The dude who put the poor dog in the microwave oven should be put down the same frickin' way......set him on fire, kills it, and set him on fire again.

Killing a dog or child is the lowest form of humanity. If the reports are true.

Perhaps we should wait for all the facts to surface before we crucify Babineaux. For one thing, the story is incorrect when it says the dog belonged to his wife. Babineaux is not married. The dog belonged to his girlfriend. So right out of the box we can't necessarily trust the information in the story. Secondly, it's possible this was a case of self defense. The dog he allegedly killed was a pit bull mix. That's a pretty aggressive breed which I believe has played a role in mauling more than a few people to death. It's not like Babineaux snapped a Yorkie's neck. So maybe comments like "scumbag", "fat ass", and "roided-up bastard" are a little premature.
