Awwwwwwwwwww

Atlanta Falcons DT Jonathan Babineaux was arrested for felony animal cruelty last week for allegedly killing his girlfriend's dog. The dog died of blunt force trauma to the head which Babineaux claims happened when the dog accidentally hit his head against the wall. An autopsy on the dog will be released this week.

PETA (which we have absolutely no use for) sent a letter to Commissioner Goodell asking for Babineaux to be suspended for a year and a letter to the Falcons asking them to release him if found guilty.

It's the kind of thing people can't identify with," said Dan Shannon, the manager of youth outreach and programs at PETA's Virginia headquarters. "You just can't think there is any way you'd kill a dog.

No but everyone can imagine slamming a stripper's head against a stage because she dove for some money.

Babineaux's lawyer said that Babineaux did nothing wrong opened his mouth and lied about something.
