The man has been identified on social media.
“If he can do this what’s stopping him from doing something else like moving onto a live animal, doing the same or worse,” says Wanda on Facebook.
“It’s the behavior of a disturbed person to consciously drag an animal dead or alive, burn, video tape it, mock, and broadcast/brag about it. This is sort of person who ends up killing people later in life, then everyone says “why wasn’t he stopped earlier?” says Scott.
However, not everyone was outraged by the video:
” It was already dead jeez,” says Nathan.
