Evan Kruegel | 1/9/2013

According to the Williston police, a dog was beaten and killed by its owner on Christmas Day. Wanda Steen, 57, was arrested in connection with reports of animal abuse after a witness called police. Reports say the dog was beaten with an object.

As of now, police say no charges have been filed, and the state`s attorney is now handling the case.

Local animal rights activists say this is another example of why animal cruelty laws need to change.
