Alleged dog abuser to appear in city court April 25 By Raymond Drumsta Journal Staff
ITHACA — Alexander H. Atkind, the 23-year-old Cornell University student from the Boston area accused of beating of a friend's dog, was still in Tioga County Jail Wednesday, a week after he was arrested on drug possession charges, law enforcement officials said.
Atkind, who allegedly beat the dog, leaving it with diminished eyesight for life, and then poured bleach on it, is being held in lieu of $20,000 bail in his animal-abuse case and $5,000 in his Tioga County drug-possession case.
In Ithaca, Atkind is charged with “overdriving, torturing and injuring animals” in violation of a section of the state Agriculture and Markets law, a misdemeanor. In the town of Nichols, Atkind is charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class B felony. Atkind allegedly abused the dog on or about March 8. Then on March 17, deputies investigating a car accident in Nichols found “hallucinogenic mushrooms” in his possession. He was arraigned and remanded to Tioga County Jail on $5,000 bail, Tioga County Sheriff's officials said.
At Atkind's high-profile arrangement on the misdemeanor in Ithaca City Court last Friday, Tompkins County District Attorney Gwen Wilkinson was granted a 30-day adjournment in order to present a charge of aggravated cruelty to animals — a Class E felony — against Atkind to a grand jury.
Citing the expectation of the felony charge being filed and Atkind's “tenuous connection with Ithaca,” Judge Judith Rossiter set Atkind's bail at $20,000.
Atkind is scheduled to appear in Nichols Town Court on April 3 and Ithaca City Court on April 25.

Heh... for a moment there, I thought this was going to be another story about Hippie3...
I guess I shouldn't bash on her, but it is hard to let go of as "animal abuse sickens me" as well.

I hope they sentence him to a beating and then pour some bleach on him.

Its fucked up that simple possession of a controlled substance fetches a more harsh sentence than such intentional animal abuse.
