Dog Eaten

I hate it when I go play a round of golf and the employees at the club eat my pet dog. It's so unprofessional.

HONOLULU (AP) -- A grand jury indicted two former golf club employees on theft and animal cruelty charges after police said they butchered and ate a patron's pet dog.

Witnesses told Moanalua Golf Club officials they saw the workers load the German shepherd-Labrador mix, named Caddy, into a car and drive away at the end of their shift on Dec. 16.

The dog's owner, Frank Manuma, said the club had given him permission to bring 8-month-old Caddy while he played a round of golf. The dog vanished after being left tied up near a maintenance shed, Manuma said.

The club fired the workers and investigators later told Manuma the two men butchered and ate his pet.

An Oahu grand jury indicted Saturnino Palting, 58, and Nelson Domingo, 43, both of Kalihi, on Tuesday. The felony charges are punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Palting and Domingo had not hired or been assigned attorneys by Thursday.

''We're delighted that it's moving forward,'' Manuma said when told of the grand jury indictments.

Manuma said he and his wife, Debbie Weil-Manuma, considered the dog like a child they never had.

He said they now have a 3-month old mixed German shepherd-Golden retriever named Caddy 2.

I was gonna say that that was really sick and Manuma shouldn't play that course again. But...after reading further that he had gone out and gotten another dog named Caddy 2...believe he is just asking for more trouble. For what it's worth.

I recall a National Geographic article about Hong Kong several years ago. There was a photo which was taken in the kitchen of a restaurant, and there was a cage of full of puppies in the corner. I guess you have to put things in perspective. But jeeez, it's not like they don't have a snack shack at the golf club.

ack!

so much for having dinner

i guess it'll be beer!

I don't mean any malice toward dogs by posting this, I was just flabbergasted that one could pay money to play golf at a nice club, and then they just go off and eat your dog while you were on the back nine. I mean, that's just so unnecessary.

It's surreal and disturbing at the same time.
