Survivor Participant Shoots Puppy With Arrow

On the Cable News Network web site, it was reported that Brian Heidik of "Survivor: Thailand" fame shot a puppy with an arrow.

A puppy??!!

Heidik claimed he thought it was a coyote which had been harrassing his pets in the past. Okay ... really pushing it, but I'll give him that. However, why did he flee when the sheriff's deputies arrived to investigate?

He's been charged with battery and cruelty to animals. Why the battery charge? It seems that the deputies found evidence of "battery for family violence." Under Georgia's domestic violence law, law enforcement officials must arrest the batterer, even if the victimized spouse or significant other does not want to press charges.

My honest opinion of the situation is that after his spat with his spouse, he went out shooting animals because he was still angry and wanted to lash out.

In any case, he doesn't sound like a nice guy.
