Man cited for leaving dog chained outside in freezing cold

BROOKLYN, MN -- A Minnesota man was cited for allegedly leaving his dog outside in chops-freezing weather.

Dang Xiong, 29, left his dog outside in Brooklyn Center on Tuesday. Temperatures had fallen to minus degrees F., KMSP-TV reported

The cold dog was reportedly found by officers--it was chained up outside around 3 p.m. Responding officers said they found vomit near the dog, who had access to minimal food and water.

The dog owner was cited with inhumanely, unnecessarily, cruelly beating, injuring or abusing an animal, and his dog was seized by authorities. 

If this had been Brooklyn, New York, rather than Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, and the dog was a newborn baby human instead of a dog, Xiong would not have been cited for a resulting death, as long as the baby was made comfortable as it died. 

But cruelty to animals is unacceptable in all U.S. states.

Pets, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), should be brought indoors in cold weather conditions.
