‘I am asking for a heavy fine for such cruelty,’ pleaded the Facebook user. ‘Crazy how they could do something so disgusting. They are poor puppies. I hope they find them and throw the book at them,’ said another.
According to the report, the two were identified as Jasmine Mounton and Kendall Tyler. Their arrests followed the video going viral.
The sheriff’s office released footage of Mounton and Tyler near a dumpster behind Sebastian West End Seafood. The video clearly shows Mount carrying the puppy, opening the litter box, and throwing the puppy inside.
