Police: Woman Beats Dog Breeder With Dead Chihuahua
ST. PETERS, Mo. -- Having your new puppy die can be tough. But it may have pushed one Missouri woman over the edge.
Investigators said she went back to the breeder's home and forced her way in. A fight broke out, and eventually the two women ended up on the porch. That's where police say the angry owner used the dead Chihuahua puppy to repeatedly whack the breeder over the head.
According to the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch, the breeder told a neighbor to call police. That led the dog owner to get in her car -- taking the dead puppy with her, which she waved from the sunroof as she drove off.
Police aren't identifying the woman, but said she could face burglary and assault charges. The breeder wasn't seriously hurt. [...]
(Thanks to the crippled Dr. Smith for the news tip, and to Jeff Goldstein for finding that elusive silver lining. And I beg all of you, let's not have any suggestions that "Dead Chihuahua Puppy" would be a cool band name. Because it wouldn't.)

Tasteless comes to mind, but, like everything else in this world, it's all been done before.

Eww, Skinnydan.
And Jordana, I agree--and The Evil Glenn Reynolds would probably even like to have a side of Clamato Flavored Tortilla Chips with it, for just a bit more of that south o'the border flavor. The beast!
