A Chula man accused of killing puppies by placing them inside bags entered a plea of not guilty in the Associate Division of Livingston County Circuit Court on Wednesday.
Ronald Parker’s case was continued to March 18th to set or waive a preliminary hearing. He has been charged with felony animal abuse—second or subsequent offense or by torture and/or mutilation while the animal was alive.
A probable cause statement accuses Parker of putting several puppies inside Ziploc bags and one in a trash bag, putting them inside a trash can, and placing a lid on top. He allegedly admitted to killing the puppies because he would rather have them dead than see them starve to death.
