Florida Man Hurled Chihuahua Off Balcony ‘Like A Football’ Arrested

This is absolutely disgusting! Deputies arrested a Florida man after he threw a 3-year-old Chihuahua off a balcony “like a football.” The poor dog was left with several serious injuries including multiple broken bones. Dalton Chad Sousa, 30, was arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty. Even after taking the dog to the vet he gave the veterinarian an attitude and left the dog behind.

Detectives with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office were called Sunday to the Blue Pearl Animal Hospital after reports of an injured dog. After police arrived at the hospital they learned that a man dropped off the injured Chihuahua. He told them that a friend had thrown the pet named 'Raven' off a balcony “like a football.” The sheriff's office said the man got into a heated argument with the vet and intentionally left Raven behind. Raven has multiple fractures, broken leg, and even a broken mandible. Thankfully police were able to locate Raven's owner and Sousa was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

According to WFLA, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said, “It is always disappointing to learn of an innocent animal abused by an owner they trust. I will continue to do my part to stand up for those who cannot protect themselves. Violent and abusive behavior towards an animal will NOT be tolerated in Lee County." We hope the suspect will pay for this horrible crime.

Injuring a poor defenseless animal is one of the worst things you can do. Thankfully the vet called the police and reported the incident, especially after Sousa had an attitude. And to just leave your Chihuahua behind with all those injuries is completely heartless. Hopefully he won't get off easy and will go to jail for a long time.

According to the Federal Bureau Of Investigation, the definition of a mass shooting is an event in which one or more individuals are actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. I live in St. Petersburg and there was 1 mass shooting that happened on March 31st.Thankfully nobody died but there were 4 people injured. With that being said, St. Pete is not one of the Florida cities that have the most mass shootings this year. You will find the cities below.

We are only in August and I was was shocked that there has already been 261 mass shootings in the United States. According to CBS news, 72 of those mass shootings happened in the month of June. Over the span of three days in June there were 14 mass shootings. Several incidents occurred including the one in Michigan where a man pulled up to a splash pad and opened fire. Thankfully nobody died but 9 were injured. There was also a drive by shooting in fort Lauderdale that left one person dead and four injured. I really wish we could solve this gun violence problem in America, but I don't think it will ever happen.

When I first researched this information, I was shocked at some of the cities that made the list. Before looking below, what cities would you guess had the most mass shootings? Each of the cities below has had 2 mass shootings so far in 2024. There were not casualties in some of these incidents. There were however people injured in all of them.
