| Another Atlanta Falcon accused of abuse!!! Another Atlanta Falcon accused of abuse! by Trish (Login brumzoo) On February 18, 2007, Atlanta Falcons' Jonathan Babineaux beat to death his live-in girlfriend's dog, Kilo, a one-year-old pit bull mix. The motive was apparent retaliation against his girlfriend, Blair Anderson, for an argument she and Babineaux had earlier that same night. After the argument, Anderson left the house, leaving her two dogs, Kilo and Ace, with the Falcons' defensive lineman. Not long after, Babineaux phoned Anderson to inform her that something was wrong with Kilo. He advised that she should come home and check on him. Anderson returned home to find Kilo in extreme physical distress. Anderson rushed Kilo to the vet but he was dead on arrival. Autopsy results showed Kilo died from blunt force trauma to the head, leading Gwinnett County police to arrest and charge Babineaux with felony cruelty to animals. The second dog, Ace, was later removed from the Babineaux household and placed in the care of Animal Control. In spite of the felony charge, Babineaux remains free on $2,300 bond and is still actively playing for the Falcons. To date, Babineaux has received no punishment or suspension from either the Falcons or the NFL. Blogger William K. Wolfrum aptly sums up the glaring hypocrisy which now enshrouds the Atlanta Falcons: Babineaux is currently in the Falcons pre-season camp, obviously keeping a low profile. Simply put, however, as long as Babineaux is allowed to play with the Falcons while Vick is forced to sit out, the NFL's and the Falcons' treatment of Vick can only be seen as a PR ploy. It has nothing to do with ethics, or a standard of character they want from their players. As long as Babineaux remains active, the NFL and the Falcons are little more than hypocrites whose hands were forced in the Vick case.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Nice. Get mad at your girlfriend and beat a defenseless dog to death. They do need to play fair and bench him too until this is resolved - the NFL covers too much of this up these poor dogs. |

| Who are these people who abuse animals? Are they really human? All the NFL cares about is $. They could care less what their player's do but of course would like to keep it out of the headlines at all times. Why is that man not behind bars? He was found guilty! Just goes to show you our government couldn't care less about abuse of defenseless animals. I hope with Vick now in the headlines his case is brought forward again so he can get what he's got coming to him. If he killed his girlfriends dog he could have just as easy killed her. He should be kicked off the team as well. He's a murderer. |

| These guys make me sick. Thugs, murderers who people pay tons of money for and they use it on drugs and steroids and then take out their aggression on a defenseless creature. I signed the petition and will sign any others that are out there against stuff like this. I just hate that so many men abuse those who are weaker than they are. Interesting that they don't go find someone their own size/strength to try to hurt. Just disgusting.

| That's like opening Pandora's box... Thing is, if you bench these guys for this, you will have to bench everyone for every equal crime (related or unrelated to animal cruelty) that they are convicted of...which would knock out alot of people, I'm sure. And since pro football is a profession, why just stop there? Why not make that a general rule for anyone of any profession. Hmmm... Alas...just thinking outloud...or at least the lack of sleep and sinus meds are. |
