Maximum Fine for Man Who Terrified Dog with Fireworks!

A man captured on video frightening his dog with fireworks is facing animal cruelty charges.

William Scaffidi of Atlanta, Georgia, reportedly uploaded the video to his Facebook account, where it was shared widely — mostly with well-earned condemnation.

We're all too aware that fireworks and pets don't often mix. But in the video, Scaffidi appears to take it a step further.

The dog appears without a means to escape, while Scaffidi, filmed by his 13-year-old daughter, lights firecrackers.

For this act of cruelty, Scaffidi should receive the stiffest penalty possible, and be denied the privilege of owning a dog.

We the undersigned ask that you impose on William Scaffidi the maximum fine of $500 and force him to give up his dog. What he did is cruel and inexcusable. Fireworks terrify animals, and there is no justification in teasing a dog with them.
