An English bulldog mix and her six puppies were the victims of animal cruelty when an Ohio man tried abandoning them in a suitcase. Editor's Note: This is NOT the English bulldog from the story.

A local Ohio newspaper, The Toledo Blade, has reported what is surely going to be looked at as animal cruelty. Apparently, an Ohio man thought it'd be a good idea to try to abandon six puppies and their mother in a canvas bag. For reasons yet unknown, the man decided to try to dump the seven animals in the trash.

As is mostly the case with these sad situations, bystanders found the bag and informed the proper authorities in order to rescue the animals. While our endangered dogs will hopefully have a happy ending to their sad story, the story is just beginning for the man who stands accused of these crimes.

Aside from the legal ramifications this man will face (his punishment should be pretty severe in this writer's opinion), he'll also be the subject of criminal criticism for awhile to come. The man was tracked down by authorities for making a rookie mistake you'd have to read to believe; he left his contact information on a luggage tag attached to the bag of puppies left behind. Assuming that the man charged is convicted of his crimes, that's pretty bad as far as criminal scheming is concerned.

This guy sounds like a winner in every sense of the word, doesn't he?

What do you think about this act of animal cruelty? Should this crook be crowned "Dumbest Criminal of 2012"? Share your thoughts in a comment!
