Man Blows Up Family Dog, Not Charged With Animal Cruelty

Cabela
A gorgeous Labrador Retriever is dead, the man responsible sitting in jail – but animal cruelty is NOT one of his charges. Why?

A Washington State man is facing jail time and a slew of criminal charges after tying an explosive to the family dog’s neck and igniting it, killing the defenseless animal.

Christopher W. Dillingham, 45, was charged with reckless endangerment and possession of an explosive device. One charge glaringly missing from the list – animal cruelty.

Police were dispatched to the Dillingham home around 4am on Sunday, after several neighbors reported hearing what sounded like an explosion or a high-powered rifle being fired. When they arrived, police found the Labrador Retriever, named Cabela, dead, her body parts strewn across the yard.

So, why no animal cruelty charges?

Undersheriff Dave Cox told KATU News that Dillingham wasn’t charged with animal cruelty because the “death [to Cabela] was instantaneous.”

The disregard for Cabela’s life is both shocking and infuriating. While Dillingham sits in jail, his bond set at $500,000, an entire community is mourning the tragic, senseless killing of a beautiful life, for which no one will be charged.

This case exemplifies both the need for stricter animal cruelty laws in Washington State, and the need to remove animals from the “gray area” of the law, where they sit squarely between being just a person’s personal property and a living, breathing, feeling being.

Rest in peace, Cabela.

    This is absolutely outrageous! The only thing I can conclude is that when this sick animal(he is NOT a man!)does this to a human the same brainless idiots that decided it wasn’t cruelty would rule the same. It amazes me that there are creatures out there that we call human’s who could do such evil as well as think it wasn’t cruelty. If any of you live in that town, you need to get out before you and your children are “humanely blown to smithereens” by scum!

    Get real! The “entire community” is concerned that the idiot endangered everyone and everything in the neighborhood. No one is “mourning” the loss of the freaking dog!

    They say people who do this kind of things to animals are likely to go further and do it to people. So I don’t understand why they do not feel like there is a significant need for stricter laws concerning animal abuse. I bet they’d charge me or anyone else if we were to shoot him square in the brain so he died instantly, with no pain. This Bastard is definitely no better than the lowliest of animals. Of course I wouldn’t want him to die instantly, I’d want the MFer to die in an agonizingly slow painful death. When are the lawmakers going to wake and wise up?

You won’t know when, where or how but I hope that it is in jail at the hands of a big guy and he does such a number on you that you wish that you had put that explosive device around your neck…you are a poor excuse for a human…I hope that if you get out that everyone knows who you are and you get harassed everywhere you go. Cabela did not deserve what you did, if you didn’t want cabela you should have turned her over to animal control…remember KARMA is a bitch

    So- if you kill an animal and that animal dies “instantaneously” you can’t be charged with cruelty? What if that was a person? Would the same thing apply? What is to keep this guy from advancing to children and other people and doing the same thing? You can get jail time for dog-fighting. I think this is a lot worse. He should get a LOT of jail time for this.

      I cannot believe a person of normal intelligence would make such a ridiculous comment! Killing a human being is murder! If killing an animal were illegal, we would all starve to death because all those people in slaughterhouses who kill chickens, pigs, chows, etc. would be in jail! Just because someone kills an animal doesn’t mean he/she is going to “advance” to killing humans — this ridiculous idea was disproven long ago!

    The senseless murder of an innocent animal, regardless of it torture is involved, should be considered animal cruelty…no doubt about it. I have 5 rescue cats and 2 rescue dogs, and would defend them with my life. People like this do indeed deserve to be punished by laws that fit the crime. However, creating laws that treat animals with the same level of expectations, liability, and legal rights as humans is not only dangerous, but foolish. Animals (ie. pets) ARE property. And should remain as such. Our rights to defend our property are critical to a human’s ability to provide, care, and give sanctuary to our pets. The distinction between animal and human does not need to be blurred any more than the difference between man and machine does. Doing so does not raise a dog, or a computer, up from their current state…..it only diminishes that of human beings. Let’s fix the laws so that this guy pays for what he did to the dog, in addition to his other charges. But let’s keep it logical and avoid emotional calls for giving “human rights” to animals. They’re call “human rights” for a reason.

These beautiful creatures rely on the human race to love and protect them, just like a child. unfortunately there are despicable beings like this individual that not only exists but that also have the love and trust of beautiful dog, cat, whatever it may be. What would compel anyone to inflict such a horrific act on any living creature is beyond me. But I believe in an eye for an eye, he will be judged and he will pay the price. Cabela has crossed rainbow bridge and has been greeted by all the beautiful animals we’ve loved and lost… she too now has the family she always deserved

    Isn’t this a great opportunity in a high profile and highly publicized incident, one of thousands, to take a stand together to DEMAND tougher laws in every single State? Let this poor baby boy have some honor and be remembered by having his story save thousands of future dogs from torture because the laws are tougher so people MIGHT think twice? And if caught the criminals actually get a federally mandated felony punishment? I have been urging our community of animal advocates to talk to their local political candidates to see where they stand on the issue and how they are going to help BEFORE getting my vote!

    I’d like to write exactly what I think of this man and the horrible torture I’d like to impose on HIM.
    However that wouldn’t help victims of animal cruelty at all. The laws simply need to get harsher against those who torture and abuse animals. Animals need rights. We buy them, adopt them, we are responsible for them. Enough of letting abusers get away with torture! Say by the way, isn’t this what
    women have been asking of legislatures for decades. Why is it that women are still being tortured, raped, and killed and their abusers still get away with their crimes?

    Best thing that could happen is if Animal Rights Activists visit Washington State and explain very nicely that if something isn’t done about this freak, that they will then start a campaign to boycott the state thru tourism. They did that in Puerto Rico and it worked very well. PR lost millions in tourism revenue until they got a animal cruelty law on the books and arrested a man for abuse of a horse. It does work. There are tourists that would not visit a state that won’t do something about their freaks. I’m one! If he did this to a poor defenseless dog, what does he do to his kids? I have a sure fire way to cure this type of behavioral problem with people. Problem is they won’t let me show them. Guaranteed!

    The saving grace is that every single day a human animal lover dies and also crosses that bridge to get to the Golden Gates, and he or she takes all those animals with them.

WHY????? Because there will be so much explosive around his fricking neck, that he will be killed as soon as the explosion is activated. And he will not feel anything.

OMG he should never own another animal in his life and what this story left out is he did this act in front of his daughter so yes people this devil actually has a child and did this is front of her I dont know if it was a punishment for her one will never know what is the mind of someone that has to be psychotic to do this. Wow he is 45 too!

How many more defenseless animals must be abused, hurt, maimed, or killed before stiffer penalties are set and people do time for it?

This poor dog had to be scared be on beliefOne of my dogs is afraid of loud noises and things being near his face due to the life someone put him through before I adopted him from the shelter I work at. He has scars that remind me that someone was cruel to him. How could anyone look into those deep brown eyes and commit such an act of violence. The swath may have been instantaneous but what that poor dog went through before the explosive went off had ro be horriic! This is how serial killers start the behavior! Do we let it become someone’s child? There is already a history of violence. Animals should be protected in actions in this manner! People need to stand up and fight for thier fur family members. Never would this man get away with doing this to one of mine. People need to speak out and show thier disgust for this behavior. RIP Cabela! You are one of GOD’S ANGELS!

    Why is Dave Cox even in a position of authority? He’s obviously a pinhead without any kind of compassion nor knowledge of the law. Speaking of that…

    What’s wrong with the prosecutors? I called and got the ‘we’re looking into it’ runaround. EXCUSE ME!!! He blew up his dog!!! What do you need to look into?

    He’s has a record of domestic violence and now animal cruelty (probably a long record, unknown before now). They go hand in hand. He’s a DANGER to everyone he comes into contact with, especially those he lives with. Too bad there’s no death penalty for blowing up your dog.

    This brings me to tears. My hope for him is while he is jailed his fellow inmates find out what he did and use their own form of justice on him. Dear God, an eye for an eye seems just. AMEN

        I can picture all the cons in the prison saying, “LOOK GUYS,
        A NEW BOY TOY” also known as “FRESH MEAT”.

    This is what’s wrong the world! If a person is murdered and died instantly, it does not release the
    Person responsible for killing them. Therefore no one should ever be not held responsible because a animal died instantly. Just tell all animal abusers it’s OK as long as they die instantly!!!!! Then move on to people because most who harm animals will in time harm humans as well…. This is so wrong!

    What kind of treatment did the poor Cabela receive prior to her death. He has a history of family domestic abuse. Ask the family members, please did he abuse the dog…This is sick that he not be charged, Christopher is not HUMANE, he does not deserve to be allowed back into society, what will he do next and to whom.

        TIE IT TO HIS TESTICLES, chain his arms so he can’t reach it and then
        LIGHT IT AND WALK Away !!!
        HE WILL DIE INSTANTLY, therefore NO HUMAN CRUELTY.

      I can’t believe that charges are not being laid for the death of this dog. this appalls me totally discusts me. this man done this intentionally how can he get away with this. is this what this country has come to. If he blew up a human would he be charged. because the dog died instantly and didnt suffer hes free what about a human does it work that way in this country as long as no pain you get set free this is bullshit. I’m so pissed at the justice system in this country

        Thousands of dogs and cats are euthanized in the US every day. Why is everyone so upset over the death of a single dog that died instantaneously? Why aren’t they concerned about all those pigs, chickens, cows, etc. that are slaughtered, often inhumanely, in slaughterhouses every day? At least those animals serve a purpose and pigs are MUCH more intelligent than dogs! People today have seriously misplaced priorities!

      Pam you took the words right out of my mouth. This wonderful Dog did not deserve such a fate. The people in Washington State should be outraged and make their law makers change the law to protect these animals. This man is the worst kind of being. He isn’t even human. He is a demon of satin himself
