A man was arrested after stabbing a dog with a boxcutter during a disturbance in late April, according to Animal Care Services and San Antonio police.
John Christopher Schafer, 28, was taken into custody on Thursday. ACS said he is facing a charge of animal cruelty that could be upgraded to torture pending further investigation.
Officers were called to the 200 block of Coopwood on April 27 and found the dog alert but heavily bleeding from a deep wound after the suspect stabbed the younger-aged American Staffordshire terrier in the neck with a boxcutter, ACS said. Police said the woman who called said Schafer had threatened to kill the dog and then used a boxcutter on the dog’s neck.
The dog was taken by ACS immediately and treated. The animal survived the attack but had severe blood loss.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Ivan Herrera has worked as a journalist in San Antonio since 2016.
