Dog Abuser Rejects Plea Deal

Tuesday, April 20, 2010 - 1:00pm

On April 15, after reconfirming her not guilty plea to animal torture charges, Tiara Davis rejected a 60-day jail deal offered by the District Attorney. In a heavily publicized case, Davis was caught on video violently kicking and leash-choking her nine-pound Pomeranian, Sparky. The incident occurred on January 11 in the Grant Houses in Morningside Heights, the same public housing project where surveillance video captured an unrelated dog beating only two weeks prior the incident.

It was approximately 2:00 A.M. on January 11, when the NYPD's in-elevator surveillance system captured Davis beating the four-year-old dog. The 31-year-old apparently lost her temper after Sparky urinated on the elevator floor. The video clearly shows Davis punching, kicking and swinging the small dog by his neck until he blacked out. Sparky suffered multiple bruises, possible liver damage and emaciation. He is currently recuperating at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Hospital.

"There was no justification for this violent act of cruelty," says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel for the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Department "I think the plea deal is generous and should be reconsidered by the defendant, I am not sure a jury would be as lenient."

Davis, who was arrested by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents the same morning the beating occurred, is due back in court on May 12, where the possibility of trial awaits her.





I so hope this monster will not get the dog back, or any other animal that cannot protect itself from this nut case,,,does she have children, most probably also victim's of abuse as well...hopefully that is checked


A bullet in the head is the only punishment severe enough for this savage.


anger issues Kay ?? Bullet to the head....really ?


Agree that a bullet to the head is a tad extreme, but some form of severe punishment by way of a custodial sentence has to be administered for the distress caused to this poor animal


if someone did this to a child would you argue with the bullet to the head. She deserves to have done to her what she did to the poor innocent animal.


TOTALLY agree with you!!!!


A bullet to the head would be too quick. Should be hung just enough to black out and revived and done over and over until she is brain dead!!

ojo oluwakemi O...

this woman is a monster and will abuse any child in her care she is a wicked soul that needs to be kept away from sane people.The dog is helpless so malso a child the authority should have her monitored such a person with so much violence in her can attack a human and kill.


I hope she is severely punished for what she did to this poor dog!!


Bullet in the head Kay? It was just a dam dog.
