Florida woman busted after video of her kicking, chocking dog

A Florida woman caught on video kicking and choking her dog was arrested for felony animal cruelty, according to a report.

Michelle Sieber, 26, was seen in a Facebook video on Friday dragging her pooch on a leash towards her RV in Pinellas County, news station WFTS reported.

Footage shows her kick the dog before pulling on the leash so hard that it is lifted off its front paws.

Vincent Minuttello, who filmed the incident, confronted Sieber about the abuse.

“Hey, can you go a little easy on that dog, please,” he can be heard saying in the clip. “You can’t do what you’re doing.”

Sieber laughs off his concerns and responds, “Pull on his collar?”

“You are choking him. You are hanging your dog. He is sitting there by his neck and he can’t breathe if you watch him,” Minutello then says.

Unbothered, Sieber then tells Minutello that he “can have him if you want him,” according to the footage.

The dog owner was booked at Pinellas County Jail the same day on felony charges of animal cruelty, officials said. She is being held on $5,000 bond.

Minutello later thanked other animal lovers for help bringing the woman to justice.

“Thank you for all the support! For those who would have choose the violent route I understand your frustration,” he wrote on Facebook. “However, documenting is key to a habitual offender.”

Review: Animated ‘Chance’ takes on dog fighting with overly earnest yet well-intended spirit

The CG animated feature “Chance” is a well-intended but heavy-handed denunciation of the barbaric blood sport of dog fighting.
