Jenelle’s Husband SLAMMED By PETA For Shooting Dog Scandal: ‘Charges Should Be Filed!’
May 1 2019, Updated 5:09 p.m. ET
Animal rights organization PETA is calling for the arrest of David Eason after he admitted to killing wife Jenelle Evans’ dog nugget.
The fired Teen Mom 2 star claimed he killed the pooch after he bit their daughter. But in a video he posted on social media, the dog could be seen harmlessly nipping the 2-year-old.
After the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office declined to arrest David because of “no evidence,” PETA exclusively revealed to Breaking Celebrity News that they believe charges should be filed against the troubled ex-reality star.
Ripping David
“David Eason has a long history of violent behavior and was caught on camera, just weeks ago, forcefully dragging a pig by his or her legs, so alarm bells should be sounding,” the statement read. “People who abuse animals typically don't stop there. Domestic abusers commonly begin by threatening, torturing, or killing animals, and if reports that he shot Nugget are true, it's time to worry about the safety of the humans and remaining animals at the house.”
Arrest Him!
The organization ended the statement with, “PETA hopes charges will be filed against Eason and that he'll be banned from owning animals.”
Disturbing 911 Call
As Breaking Celebrity News broke, authorities responded to the home after an unidentified male placed the call on Tuesday, April 30.
Shocking Claim
“A call was made today, and it was relayed that the woman’s husband had killed her dog,” the Sheriff’s Office told Breaking Celebrity News on Tuesday, April 30. “The Sheriff is out there right now investigating and there will be an incident report filed later.”
Off The Hook
Public Information Officer Michele Tatum exclusively told Breaking Celebrity News on Tuesday, May 1, “No arrests were made.” "Columbus County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to the location but were unable to make contact with anyone at the residence," the PIO said. "A deputy was dispatched to the residence this morning for follow up contact. The deputy made contact with the homeowner, Mr. Eason. The deputy confirmed that the occupants of this residence were okay. There was no evidence to substantiate further investigation."
Defensible?
David defended his cruel actions on social media, blaming the dog snapping at their 2-year-old daughter. He even posted a video of the incident.
No Excuse
“I don’t give a [expletive] what animal bites my baby on the face,” he wrote. “Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I don’t put up with that s**t at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my life’s mission. Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me. You can hate me all you want but this isn’t the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. “The only person that can judge whether or not an animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.”
