Stay away from that dog!
That's what a Queens criminal court judge ruled Thursday when he listed a 5-year-old bichon frise named Be Be as a party in a domestic order of protection.

Frederick Fontanez, 20, charged with animal torture in the alleged beating of the dog, cannot come within a dog collar's length of Be Be until he stands before the judge again on Oct. 10.

The novel use of the order was brought on by Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, believed to be the first city prosecutor to use it to shield a companion pet from abuse since Gov. George Pataki signed the measure into law last month. Brown could not immediately be reached for comment.

Fontanez's friend, Derek Lopez, also was listed in the order, though it was not clear from the complaint if he had suffered any kind of physical injury.

According to the criminal complaint, Fontanez, of the Bronx, was pet-sitting the white dog at Lopez's South Ozone Park home on July 20 while Lopez was away at work.

Alone with the 14-pound pooch, Fontanez rigorously beat him, the complaint says, leaving the dog with a purple, four-inch bruise on his back, a gash on his right eye and a bad limp. Witnesses reported hearing the dog yelp and scream, the complaint says.

A veterinarian later confirmed animal abuse, the complaint says, and Fontanez was arrested at Lopez's home yesterday. Lopez could not be reached for comment.

Queens Criminal Court Judge Alex Zigman released Fontanez on $2,500 bail. Fontanez and his attorney, Steven Sternberg, could not be reached for comment.

Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, praised Brown for being the first to use the new law, which also has been adopted in Maine.

"This is groundbreaking," Pentangelo said. "As pets, animals have been ignored as victims of domestic violence."

BTW these are the pics of the poor little dog. I think the second one is the after pic.

This is just sickening. They need to put the people who torture little animals together with those who harm children and the elderly and banish them to a desert island with no food or water and let them eat one another. It would save millions in tax dollars and benefit our society as a whole!!

red98vett · 09-01-2006, 05:27 AM

I hope since it's so 'groundbreaking' that they throw that FREAK in jail and I hope he gets the c**p beat out of him too !

Timmy · 09-01-2006, 05:27 AM

This makes me sick to my stomach. I wouldn't even call them people....gggrrrhhhhh Peices of Sh*t! I agree they should be put in a desert and let them eat eachother.

Lexi Rae · 09-01-2006, 05:34 AM

Exactly...That is nothing. I personally think that it should be WAY higher or no bail at all until he goes in front of the judge. That a** can skip town and then nothing can be done. He just destroyed this little guys life not only physically but mentally too.
OOOOO I am so pissed.

ARCHIE · 09-01-2006, 06:04 AM

I heard that on the radio this morning. I would like to know why the Rat is
not in jail until his hearing on 10/10? What good is an order of protection when he can still get the dog if he wants. How many women are still beat up with orders of protection on them?

Lexi Rae · 09-01-2006, 06:12 AM

something really has to be done with laws on animal abuse...really now..

Nikko's_human · 09-01-2006, 06:23 AM

And what kind of bail is that of $2500??

Something must be done about this and quickly. How many animals have to die at the hands of these beasts before something is seriously done? The article points out that authorities feel that this is a step in the right direction by allowing orders of protection against animal abusers but I think this is a joke. Criminals laugh at orders of protection and how many people have been killed while one was in place?

Sunnyd · 09-01-2006, 07:21 AM

look at that poor baby. all the life is gone from his pretty little eyes. i just don't get people.

tonyismybabyboy · 09-01-2006, 05:47 PM

what an a**hole! he should burn in hell!!!
jail time anyone? I wonder how he will be treated prison? it will never happen though, society would never allow it

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Jenn218 · 09-01-2006, 06:28 PM

What??!!! That is all he got? That poor little baby was put through a living H@!! and that is all he got?! I don't understand this world sometimes and the crazy people that live in it!!!! This is just sickening!

yougetthesmiles · 09-01-2006, 06:29 PM

how could anyone harm an animal, this is just so sad and makes me so sick! I sure hope this baby finds a new loving home, he will probably be so scared and wont trust anyone for a long time, just breaks my heart.

Dragonfly · 09-01-2006, 06:41 PM

I can tell you this IF someone BEAT one of my dogs I have 7 yorkies then they better get ready cause I'm coming packing with some kick a** on somebody. (Someone on here as a saying the more I know ppl the more I love my dog,) I AGREE!!! If he wanted to fight why in the heck didn't he find a human to fight? May he go to jail and meet big bubba there and see how he feels when he gets beaten down. Poor little doggie God love it!
