Man faces animal cruelty charges after hurling a dog at a referee

A man threw a dog at a referee during a soccer match in southern Spain.

Ahhh…the sights and sounds of a good old soccer game.

The crowd is cheering for their favorite team. The referee blows the whistle between plays. The referee makes a bad call … and a psychotic fan throws a dog at him.

Wait a minute — that last part doesn’t sound right.

Sometimes, in the game of soccer, referees can make a bad call. Most of the time, normal people respond by screaming obscenities at him.

That was not the case for this 50-year-old fan at a derby match in southern Spain who literally threw a dog at the referee when he disagreed with the call. Oh yes, a DOG.

Because the man was so angry with the referee, he had threatened to throw the dog earlier, but no one thought he would actually do it!

This unnamed animal-abuser snatched the animal from the arms of another fan and hurled it at the referee onto the field below the stands.

This poor little pooch went flying nearly 15 feet through the air. The referee dodged the animal and it landed on the concrete instead. It looked as if the dog was dead when it hit the concrete, but luckily the little guy got himself up and limped off the field. Medic!

The dog’s owner reacted by attacking the man, laying as many punches into him as she could get before police arrived.

We’re happy to announce that this man is facing an animal cruelty charge for his actions. Perhaps he’ll think twice about throwing any more dogs … or before attending any more soccer games in general, as he clearly has some anger management issues.
