Chicago, IL On Saturday 5/12/2018 Richard Eames, 24 was charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty. The charges are the result of an investigation of videos that Eames posted to social media of his Pitbull /Jack Russell terrier mix, "Shorty" attacking and killing other animals in his backyard. The videos date back to early 2017 but it wasn't until August that the police were notified. That was when a woman in California who was looking for cat videos came across a link to "Pitbull /Jack Russell terrier mix VS cat. She clicked on it expecting to see the two animals playing and was horrified to see the dog ripping the cat apart. She started an online petition urging police to investigate a YouTube channel that Eames had created for his graphic and disturbing videos. On 7/5 Eames posted a video of Shorty attacking a cat that fortunately got away. Just 5 days later he posted another video to YouTube of Shorty mauling a cat and he is heard
saying "Get that bitch!!!" and "Good Boy!!!" In April he posted a video of Shorty killing and eating an opossum on Instagram.
The petition says in part, "This individual has a YouTube channel devoted to manTVy brutal deaths that innocent pets had to suffer." "He is very proud of these deaths and in one video he even writes that his dog kills anything that moves."
The police were able to determine that the videos originated in Chicago and from there they were able to tie them to Eames's West Garfield Park home where he was arrested. He admitted that Shorty killed a cat and an opossum.
Eames has been a convicted felon since 2013 when he pled guilty to robbing a person over 60yo or disabled. He could be sentenced from 1 to 3 years for his current charge.
