Arvada man charged in bow-and-arrow killing of dog

A man accused of killing his girlfriend's small dog with a bow and arrows was charged Wednesday with aggravated animal cruelty. Zackary Scott Ruszka, 20, appeared in Jefferson County Court on Wednesday, where he was advised of the cruelty charge. The man making the report was Alex Duran, 21. When he returned, he noticed blood in the garage and saw Blaze, a small black terrier, dead with two or three arrows in its body. He is fined 5,000 dollars. What matter to Zackary is to let off easy and not to be arrested. What matters to me is that he should be put in jail because he obviously has a temper and he can not only kill animals but a person. We need to be aware of kids with temper because they can cause harm to our public. I’m glad that he is fined but he should have had a rougher sentence. This could also be the parent’s fault because they probably don’t spend time with him or he isn’t disciplined enough. This should matter to the world because teenagers need to know when it’s all fun and games and stop when things are serious because it can lead to horrible crimes. I also think that animal cruelty is a sad thing. We need to save those helpless animals and give them a home!
