TOOELE, Utah (AP) -- A man has been accused of stabbing a dog to death with a sword in retaliation against its owner, a hotel owner who had evicted him.

Daniel Painter, 30, was charged Tuesday with aggravated assault and cruelty to animals.

Police said Painter attacked a chow-Labrador mix named Kabu with a sword early Sunday.

Kabu's owner, Garth Jones, he was awakened early Sunday to the sound of a thud and a yelp.

Jones said he saw his dog being repeatedly stabbed by Painter, whom he had recently evicted from the Kirk Hotel in Tooele, about 25 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.

Jones said the man then threatened him and chased after him, but Jones was able to run into his office and call police.

Painter was evicted after he allegedly failed to pay his rent last month and attempted to negotiate a cheaper rate after complaining latex paint had hurt his health.

What the fuck is in the water in Utah??

Wait, nevermind, I was thinking that a chow was a little dog...

The owner should have positioned himself between the dog and the attacker.

Then when the asshole raises the sword, give him Excedrin Headache #357™ in the course of defending your life.

No the only one who kills in the name of Dog is The Sun of Sam.

That guy made me lose a few brain reading how tarded he is, I think he deserves a few pokes with a sword.

Considering that the term 'stabbed' was used several times, I doubt it was anything big. I'd place my bets that it was something like a rapier, or maybe even an oversized dagger. If it were anything bigger, I'd assume that the descriptions would have tended more to 'chopped' or 'sliced' than 'stabbed'.

At least the dog met an honorable death, something better than you can say for most of them nowadays.

This guy should have his balls removed by a kitchen knife and then salt poured in the open wound. Anyone who would brutally slaughter a pooch like that because of the owner deserves nothing less.

Maybe he meant "Malayan"? I don't think the Mayans even had basic metallurgy or bronze or anything beyond stone tools and spears.

IIRC, the Mayans did have a sort of swordlike wood club-- it was long, flat, and was edged with obsidian. While it wouldn't be a "sword" by our standards, it had much the same purpose and was wielded in the same way as a metal one. It would've been fucking sharp, too-- great against flesh and what passed for armor with the native tribes of that time.

That sounds more like an Aztec maquahuitl, the Maya used spears, slings, shorter javelins for use in spear-throwers, and flint or obsidian studded clubs.

And, you're right gunslingin' Bob; the Maya didn't even have gold until the Post-Classic period, not to mention the only indigenous group in the North America to have bronze were the Tarascans.
