The five dog handlers from the Virginia Department of Corrections have had all charges dropped against them after one handler stroked his dog off whilst his colleagues watched and videoed the event.
Kelvin Thompson admitted to masturbating his canine, saying that his instructor had recommended the procedure. Whilst he pleasured the hound his colleagues stood by like slack jawed gawkers and one even recorded it with his mobile phone. The five men originally faced animal cruelty charges, as merely fondling the dogs was not classed as an act of bestiality. But Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert B. Beasley Jr. has decided not to prosecute the dog handlers after he was advised by veterinarians that tossing the dog’s off wouldn’t cause them any harm.
“I heard from a couple of veterinarians who told me that, in their opinion, it didn’t rise to the level of cruelty,“ Beasley said.
“One of them told me that no harm can come to the animal through doing that.“
Thompson still works for the Department of Corrections but he has been removed from the canine handling programme. Two of the other men are no longer working for the department but it is unclear whether they were sacked or resigned.
