It was removed from the original link due to "copyright" issues, so I had to search for it. It wasn't hard to find, but it was hard to watch.

Heartless Connecticut CEO caught kicking puppy in Canadian elevator - NY Daily News


This puppy reportedly belongs to "a friend" of his; if that were my dog, I wouldn't be this creep's friend for long. And I don't buy his apology, either. There has to be a special place in the opposite of heaven for cretins like this.

Not only kicked the dog, but she was found in a urine soaked cage with no food or water.

He's only sorry that he was caught. He's a sorry excuse for a human being. He should be kept in small cage with no food, water, or restroom, then yanked out every now and then to be kicked in the ribs.

He's only apologetic because he was caught on the video and exposed for the type of person he really is. I pray he never owns another pet.
Fines for crimes don't escalate because of the amount of money you have in your bank account. If you receive a speeding ticket for $150 bucks and you only make 30K a year, do you think that same speeding ticket should be $150,000 if you make 3,000,000 a year? Also, do you feel you should be fired because of your speeding ticket?

This guy is definitely scum for kicking an animal for no reason, but calling for him to lose his job is just ridiculous.

As it turned out, he lied about that. It was his dog. Her name is Sade.

I'm all for the death penalty for abusing animals. Let's start with this guy?

Actually, the fines should be linked to income; the purpose of the fine is to act as a deterrent, thus should be linked to income to act as this deterrent. Finland for example has this system.

It definitely would be interesting and I'm not against it, but good luck getting this to pass here in the states.

Exactly this. Being of ordinary means, I'm going to feel a $150 ticket much worse than someone worth 3 million is going to feel a 150k ticket. I also have a problem equating animal abuse with speeding tickets as the other poster did.
