After killing the dog, the 34-year-old man continued his hunting trip without any remorse for what he had done. However, justice is being served, with the man being charged with counts of animal cruelty, and hunting without a license from Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
The picture of him went viral and animal lovers worldwide were outraged and demanded that authorities punish the heartless man.
Now the man faces a serious lawsuit and bail set at $10,000.
