A viral video of a groomer abusing a dog has gone viral. This horrible incident occurred at “The Fuzzy Butt Stops Here” salon in Williamsburg, Virginia.
The video has been viewed over 2.4 million times. A former employee took this footage of the business owner Mironda Henning tossing this Cockapoo around. She was arrested in July and charged with animal cruelty. She also had to pay a $1,000 fine. She has lost her job, but many people think that the punishment wasn’t enough.
On Tuesday, Williamsburg residents held a protest outside of the grooming business. The leader, Barbara Morris said that Henning’s punishment wasn’t enough. Several people joined her protest including one woman who said her dog came back from the salon and was traumatized.
Morris said:
“The only way they will be forgiven is to shut their business down and never touch another dog again.”
Henning is no longer working, but we don’t know if she still owns the business.
The eight-minute video shows Henning throwing the dog around and complaining about the owner bringing the dog in with matted fur. The dog vomited and defecated after this horrible treatment.
Their Yelp page now has some pretty bad reviews because of this incident.
When you go to their Yelp page, you get this warning:
One reviewer said:
“They are obviously just interested in making money and they don’t care about the welfare of your family member. We will not stand for animal cruelty or anyone that employs an evil person that would do this.”
Another said:
“EVIL owner of this place was roughing up one of the poor puppies she was cleaning, caught on video by someone. She was convicted of animal cruelty but only charged $1,000? WTF. I’d never support her business, she should clear out of town fast before she gets what she deserves!”
This is the video of the abuse:
