Oakland Man Arrested for Allegedly Breaking Legs of Pomeranian Puppy
Created by Kimberlee Sakamoto on 2/27/2009 2:49:02 PM


OAKLAND (BCN) -- A 32-year-old man was arrested in Oakland for allegedly breaking both front legs of a 4-month-old Pomeranian puppy named Baby Chloe, an Oakland Animal Services director said today.

Kem Eap was arrested Feb. 20 on two felony counts of animal abuse after an anonymous caller told Oakland police that same morning about an injured puppy at a home in the 2000 block of Fifth Avenue, according to Oakland Animal Services Director Adam Parascandola.

Police and animal control officers arrived and found the dog hiding under a television set and unable to use her front legs because of an incident that allegedly occurred two days earlier.

Baby Chloe had extensive surgery Wednesday to repair her fractured legs, according to Parascandola, who said the surgery cost more than $4,000.

Parascandola said the dog "just started using the legs a little bit today and they expect that she'll make a full recovery."

The recovery period should take at least six weeks, during which the dog will receive physical therapy, according to Parascandola. She will be put up for adoption once she is healed, he said.

The nonprofit Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter is collecting  donations to pay for Baby Chloe's surgery and recovery care, as well as for  the veterinary care of other injured shelter animals.

Donations can be sent to Friends of the Oakland Animal Shelter at  PO Box 3132, Oakland, Calif., 94609, or online at  http://oaklandanimalservices.org.

Forget a long prison term somebody needs to kill this guy and wipe him off the face of the earth! Then maybe those who even think of such a stupid and senseless act will think twice!

Ok, I see the point of the first comment"people are being tortured, etc. all over the world" True,but that doesn't mean something like this should be minimized-by any means. Good point that pretty much ALL serial killers begin this way. What do people not understand about there being a direct relationship between heinous acts like this and later, even more violent acts on people? This guy should be locked up for a long time-sick son of a b!tch.

Why is this even an issue? A dog had its legs broken. It's a dog. People are being killed, tortured, and raped every day. Instead of writing a check to Amnesty International to help other PEOPLE across the world, you're wasting space for a dog. You are glad that people turned in this guy in? How about supporting programs that support women turning their abusive husbands in? I'm waiting for the day that the world begins to understand that a human and animal life are not equal. A true waste of space and energy.

Maybe in jail he will get a little "puppy love." You know what I mean. KUDOS to the person who reported this creep to the law. I wish we had a law that would protect animals against these kinds of demons...

I cried when I read this, and then wrote a check to the Shelter. I've always believed that people who abuse and torture children and pets should be the death penalty. I'm glad some of you agree. The next best idea is to break his legs, over and over, so that he'll always be in pain and never walk again.

I agree with everyone however, the good thing is that there are people out there who dedicate their lives to getting these quacks off the street. I volunteer with the Humane Society and there is so much work and love that goes into helping animals like this little guy.

Until these monsters are given harsher punishment than they are being given, this will continue. It breaks my heart to see the things that are being done to these little ones. These monsters should be given prison sentences equal to what they would get if they were doing this to a human being.

When people abuse animals and the good people at shelters and humane societys are healing these animals, these people should be forced into jail and work until the bill for the abused dog is paid off. If that takes 2 years, then that takes 2 years. That might start preventing some of these idiots to either not get dogs or to stop abusing them for no reason

I agree. Break his legs, let him suffer awhile, then shoot him. Guys like this are the reason why bullets were invented.

Sounds like someone needs to get a JOB. Make him pay for the vet bills - though they will probably never get it from this loser - nice name

I am sick and tired of hearing these awful stories. If anyone hurts an animal deliberately, he/she should: 1. pay the vet bill and a fine 2. mandatory counseling 3. jail time 4. never own another animal These monsters will continue to perpetrate these heinous acts as long as they are only slapped on the wrist. The consequences must be severe enough to make a difference. Don't forget that many serial killers began this way. ENRAGED!!!!

Kudos to the anonymous caller 
God bless the person who called and reported this. This puppy is very lucky that someone cared enough to take action. I agree with the rest of you that said Kem Eap should be forced to pay the vet bills. I'd also like to see him serve some time in jail.

Why in hell does the perpetrator not have to pay for the dog's vet care????? He should have to pay a lot more than that. What a piece of excrement; he doesn't deserve to live.

This situation is heartbreaking and all too familiar. Kem Eap is a monster. He shouldn't be allowed near animlas or children. I only wish that he someday is on the receiving end of abuse so he knows what it feels like.

What the hell is wrong with some people? That poor dog. Why doesn't he take his frustrations out of something else... Why hurt a living thing that can in no way defend its self against a grown man. It's cruel, and mentally sick. That man should NEVER own another animal, nor EVER have any children.

This guy needs to have his legs broken and forced to walk on them. hurting an animal is like hurting a child it is WRONG! Infact lets break his legs, let him heal then brake them again! That or he could take the easy way out and shoot himself. I have no sympathy for ppl like this!

I think there should be harsh punishment for those that abuse animals.. I'm so tired of hearing of outrageous acts against animals and the people doing this acts maybe get fined. Put them in jail where they belong!!!

geez couldn't the vet care for the poor dog for free or give a price break. That way the money donated could help many more animals in need. And what a scumbag that guy is. Good thing someone turned him in.

I hope that Kem Eap will ultimately have to pay these veterinary bills. I am sick and tired of these people who abuse animals and get miniscule punishment for it and I am tired of having to make donations for all these idiots to cover the vet bills of innocent creatures. I hope the system goes after HIS ASSETS for the bill.
