Two UK women have been sentenced to a year in jail after it was discovered that they allowed their dog to eat an elderly army veteran alive.According to reports, Hayley Sulley and Della Woods starved their dog for two days before he attacked the 79-year-old Clifford Clarke. Sulley and Woods ignored their dog Charlie for two days and allowed him to run around their yard freely, so when neighbor Clifford Clarke opened his door, the dog ran and mauled him to death.
Prior to eating Clarke alive, the dog was so hungry that it attempted to eat a plastic bowl and some cigarette butts. When a neighbor noticed the dog foaming at the mouth, the police were called, but by the time they arrived, Clarke had already been eaten by the ravenous dog. Police say that the dog even tried to eat the end of the gun used to kill it. The brutal killing was described in court proceedings, as it appears the dog literally amputated one of Clarke’s arms.
“I am satisfied this dreadful and forceful attack on Mr. Clarke was entirely avoidable,” said Judge Mark Brown to the women in court. “Mr. Clarke was literally eaten alive by Charlie when large amounts of tissue were ingested by the dog and that is a very shocking, appalling and tragic event. Mr. Clarke suffered a horrific death and you have taken away from his family the love and companionship he would have provided.”
Prosecutor Gary Simpson said that the women deserve their sentence for allowing their dog to get to the point it did, ultimately ending in an innocent man’s death.

Sickening! The women should be locked up with the hungry dog.
These two women just need a publicist, or as they call them in government circles, a "policy analyst."
That policy analyst will spin this outrage into a societal benefit. That policy analyst will paint the hapless victim as the perpetrator. By the time that policy analyst is through, legislators will wonder what the heck that awful man was doing on his porch, and how can we protect more sad, ravenous dogs from this regrettablel fate?
Obviously, by directing more funding to the policy analyst.
That's how social workers and guardianship programs do it.
I can't believe this one! The owners should be charged with murder.
Never have I heard or read anything so barbaric. These women deserve LIFE IN A CAGE.
The brutality towards their dog is a sign of psychopath then add in their intent to cause lethal harm to an innocent person. I feel this to my core.
There had to have been other incidents that would raise red flags of deep seeded inner rage and hate towards others.
My first thoughts are to lock myself in my closet and cry over the suffering and terror knowing there is much more to this horrific scene. My heart goes out to those who witnessed the crime scene. Those lives are forever changed.
