COLUMBUS - Sometimes there is just no explaining how senseless people can be:

The Columbus Dispatch reported today that Columbus firefighter David P. Santuomo was sentenced to 90 days in jail and must pay $4,500 for shooting and killing his two dogs in his basement.

Santuomo, 43, did not want to pay to board his dogs before going on a cruise with this girlfriend, despite his neighbors offered twice to watch the animals, The Dispatch reported.

He wrapped the dogs’, Sloopy and Skeeter, bodies in plastic after killing them.

According to The Dispatch:

Santuomo in December laid a plastic sheet in his basement, tied the dogs to a pipe, partially suspending their bodies and shot them. He then disposed of them in a trash bin behind a fire station he was assigned.

A prosecutor said Santuomo “bragged” to his co-workers about killing the dogs. Someone then notified a humane society, which was the same place Santuomo adopted the dogs.

Santuomo still faces a disciplinary hearing with the fire department.

The judge also ordered Santuomo to write a letter of apology to a firefighters magazine and to Dispatch readers.[/quote]
