Police: Stuart woman stabbed her dog to death in bathtub as house full of people listened

September 28th, 2009 by TCPalm.com

MARTIN COUNTY — A 23-year-old Stuart woman stabbed and killed her dog Sunday, according to an arrest affidavit.

Cassandra Danielle Lauderdale of the 1700 block of Southeast Salerno Road was charged with cruelty to animals and was being held at the Martin County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail Monday.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office was called about the incident about 10:30 p.m. Sunday at Lauderdale’s home. Deputies found several people inside, including Lauderdale, who appeared agitated. The people at the home told deputies she had taken the dog into the bathroom and stabbed it in the bathtub, the arrest affidavit said. They told the deputies they heard the dog’s yelps during the attack.

“She uttered that she had the right to kill the dog and it was no one’s business,” Deputy Vance Irick wrote in his report.

Lauderdale took Irick to the back yard, where he said he found the dog dead from several deep stab wounds to the neck. Deputies found blood in the bathroom, with bloody clothes and towels strewn across the place and a bloody knife in the sink.

The report did not indicate what may have led to the attack on the dog.

  5. Terry Says:

    Animals should not own pets!! She should be put out to pasture.

  6. Len Wright Says:

    Anyone who is so cruel to an animal is only one step away from committing the same act on a human. Look out!

  7. paul Says:

    What if she had a child instead of a dog? With her logic I would be scared!

  8. anon Says:

    I agree Paul. The judge on this one needs to set her straight.

  9. sytephie Says:

    I hope she gets more time than Vick did!

    Nasty ugly beast.

  15. Rivero Says:

    aalso cleaning after then (dogs)

  16. Justin Says:

    What a crackhead selfless and worthless she is

  17. kaycie Says:

    Good point. Michael Vick had to apologie a million times to the public for dog fighting…. but Ms. Lauderdale here got a corner page in the news paper for “Murdering” her dog… now where’s the justice for this? Will she go to jail? Will she have to apologize to the public and complete “community service” time? After today, I’m sure after today, you won’t hear no more about Ms. Lauderdale and the crime to commited. To “protect and serve”…. whatever.

  18. mom of 2 Says:

    I am an animal lover-have a dog myself and treat her like one of my daughters. BUT I’m just wondering where all this outrage is when misguided women are paying someone to tear apart their unborn children limb by limb so they can be easily sucked out from the womb? Doesn’t it seem a bit backwards?

  19. Mr. Bojangles Says:

    BURN THE WITCH! IT’S MY RIGHT TO BURN WITCHES!

  20. Linda Says:

    All I can do now is just pray for her dog and know he’s in a better place, she should go to jail and never get out!!!

  21. HELLO Says:

    AGREED

  22. Mr. Bojangles Says:

    Mom of 2…has anyone here said tearing out fetuses limb by limb as ok? I don’t get morons like you that want to spill their anti-abortion nonsense and every opportunity no matter how inappropriate. I am sure if you were around during WWII you’d be the first to say “Who cares about Hitler and just a few jews when we have misguided women paying …..”

  23. The blood-thirsty mob Says:

    To those of you screaming for her to be treated in a similar manner…

    If you lock her up for 10 years, where will you put the people who harm people? Trust me, the jails are running out of room for violent criminals who are MUCH worse than she is, people who make her look like Betty Crocker. This woman might be better served with a short jail sentence coupled with mandatory, long term mental health care, as well as periodic evaluations. But of course, that wouldn’t satisfy peoples primitive and disgusting need to feel better about themselves by knowing that someone else is suffering. None of you know this woman, and neither do I. Yet, months from now, when she is long gone from your immediate memory, whatever caused her to behave in this way will still fester if all that happens is she is locked up with hardened criminals and gets NO help, which is what usually happens. Then she will commit another crime, and again, the savage misfits will say “why wasn’t she in jail forever”, and then stick their heads back in the sand, or back in their tv.

    Every crime that gets printed in the newspaper gets cries for really harsh punishment. What do you think this woman would be able to contribute to society if you lock her up for decades and then release her when she has been thoroughly dehumanized and degraded? Let me guess, you think the Bible explicitly says that cruelty calls for cruelty? I love it how so-many of you Sunday Christians forget your tenets of compassion and chances for redemption at times like this. Go get your Bible, read it.

    One of the central reasons crimes like this are so prevalent is because mental health treatment in this country is a joke. People who have mental problems often turn to drugs or bizarre, animalistic behavior like this, and we all act so surprised. We have privatized the penal system, and elevated it to a leading employment industry, so it is now in our best interest to incarcerated EVERYONE instead of trying to rehabilitate those who can be rehabilitated. Notice I didn’t say everyone.

    The next time that you read about some program of mental health well-being getting cut due to lack of funds, don’t just turn your head. These sorts of programs directly impact people who commit crimes like this. Instead of associating “social welfare” programs with socialism or “liberal” politics, instead realize that the mentally ill act out in terrifying ways mainly because they don’t get help and they have no way to fight their demons.

    I was a counselor for the homeless and mentally ill for a long time. These people are growing in number, and as long as we keep locking them up and justifying it with bloodthirsty rage and lack of understanding, it will continue to grow.

    God Bless Your Wayward Souls.

  24. Nathan Says:

    Okay lets see. ” THE BLOOD THIRSTY MOB” WOW AND YOU claim to be a mental and homeless counselor in the past! what a Name…poor homeless dudes!

    WTF?

  26. Arf Arf ouch Says:

    She must of heard safe harbor was closing…….

  27. floridafinn Says:

    let us hope that woman does not have any children, she should be banished from any contact with animals and I hope her family, friends, should think that maybe they could have stopped this. She deserves punnishment

  28. leanne Says:

    this type of behavior and her attitude about it, IS societies business. She should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

  29. Bev Says:

    She must be sick. If she didn’t want the dog why didn’t she find a good home for it. Why didn’t the other people in the home stop her from hurting the dog if they heard the yelps. Seems to me they are sick individuals too. What a shame. She and the people who witnessed the incident should all get time in jail, but that probably won’t happen because our judical system is a joke.

  30. leanne Says:

    To bloodthirstymob… I to am a mental health case manager and have been for over a decade. Not everyone who commits these types of crimes have mental impairment. Some people are just ignorant back woods rednecks who think they can “handle their own, and it’s one body’s business.” Sometimes I get sick of people blaming bad behavior on mental illness. Although I do agree there is a major malady for mental health care in this country that’s another story.

  31. UNREAL Says:

    ONE SICK BITCH!

  32. hedlykarok Says:

    2moms: This dog was a sentient, breathing, living being - not a clump of cells. Shut the intercourse up.
    Counselor/mob: our jails are full of non-violent drug offenders, not the mentally ill.
    This piece of human garbage should be locked up for at least 5 years or more. Forget the ‘may do humans next’ crap, violence is violence regardless of species.

  33. Miles Says:

    She lost her job and she was hungry?

  34. Miles Says:

    Hedlykarok,
    I disagree with you: An unborn child is also a sentient, breathing, living being, and like you and a dog both, is also a clump of cells. How many cells exactly do you require for a fetus to be a human being? 1,000? 1,000,000? How many?
    On another note, I hope that the someone is able to figure out what triggered this, not just put her in jail; she is not the only one who does this type of heinious act.

  35. david Says:

    Most people are hypocrites. There is so much pity for this dog. Go to the average slaughter house and you will see the same thing happening to pigs, cows, goats, and the list goes on. Whats on your plate tonight? Oh yah, if you never saw it fetch a stick its not wrong. I don’t care if she planned on eating it or not, killing animals is wrong.

  36. Miles Says:

    David,

    You are right. There is a moral delimma here.

    Look at the youtube videos by googling “K?C farm video”.
    K?C is the famous chicken franchise. When my 15yo daughter saw this on a TV documentary, she became a vegetarian. What can I say.

  37. Deborah Says:

    This is the most disgusting article ever. How could anyone do that to any animal. She needs to be locked up, she is a danger to society. My skin is crawling I am sick to my stomach over this. She needs to be taken to prison and away because next time it won’t be a dog, it will be someone’s child or another person. What a sick individual….sick in the head….mentally unbalanced. She disgusts me. She needs to be put in a mental institution before something else like this happens again. What a $2,500 bail and for $250 she gets to go home. Everyone around her, stay clear, she is off her rocker. I’d get as far away from this individual as I could, anyone who knows her.

  38. Mr. Bojangles Says:

    blood-thirsty mob: so we shouldn’t lock up people unless they murder? rape?

    where is your line drawn?

    How about this…let’s stop building marble palaces, buying new Chargers and use some of that money for prisons and paying for more to serve and protect.

  39. "WOW" Says:

    White Trash !!

  40. Me Says:

    How about the people that were in the house when this incident was taking place? I think they are just as guilty as she is.

  41. Native Palm Beach Says:

    I don’t like to believe that there are people in this world roaming our streets who are this violent!!!!I hope the judge puts her away from society until she had proven she is safe for animals & people to be around!!If this is possible!!!

  42. Mike Says:

    I believe a sadistic mentally ill person should be punished effectively - and - be put in a sanitarium; I propose she has a right to a straight jacket with a bamboo cane flogging… put it on pay-per-view as well.

  43. stevereenie Says:

    Well if prison time was good enough for Vick it is good enough for this sociopath named Lauderdale.

  44. Paul Says:

    This is a new low for Lindsay Lohan. . .

  45. mark Says:

    I am wonder if she had killed a human for example instead of that poor dog would she get a furious response from readers as she getting it now.

  46. Wendy Says:

    Eye for Eye tooth for a tooth…She is sick and people like this do not need to roam this earth! Put her out of her out of our misery!

  47. david weiss Says:

    what a sick girl what if that was a little kid then a dog that girl needs a lot of help big time

  48. john m Says:

    Michael Vick killed many dogs, directly and indirectly. ANY cruelty borders on unforgivable. She should pay in jail.

  49. rob Says:

    i like to run over any animal in the road is that is in my way. its fun and legal. its quicker than a stabing also so not quite as painfull for the animal. hey i am not going to veer out of my lane and harm humans in my vehicle!

  50. stormy Says:

    My wish is for her to have the same painful ending. What a hateful, nasty, ugly soul. May you rot in jail, or better yet may someone in jail read your story. Karma is a bitch.

  51. D Kennedy Says:

    An eye for an eye !!!

  52. Floridian Says:

    It goes to show you how the education system is in this country. I guess whe was never tought or was aware of animal laws. I am not sure most people do, we need more education on Animal laws, as much as human laws, this way this does not happen to such a a young person that thinks that it is o.k to do this.
    people compare it to abortion? If we educate our young kids, then abortion can be avoided too!
    More animals, more pets = more education on pet laws starting in school and on telivision.
    We need to be taught more love and compassion to all living things from a very young age.

    She needs to get help, and this should be an example of the ignorance in our country.

  53. Mudy Curve Says:

    This girl is getting more popularity than those men who kill their children and wifes.I believe that it is time to get civilized in this country and stop glorifying violence which is being fed to our children from day one on.
    Parents IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP and show your children the RIGHT WAY and don’t just talk about it.

  54. Cedric Says:

    Who cares it’s only a dog. People care more about animals than human beings. I think thats sad. Animals are killed on a daily basis at the human society and no one complains.

  55. Locats Says:

    CEDRIC-THE ANIMALS AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY ARE PEACEFULLY PUT TO SLEEP-NOT STABBED TO DEATH!! DUH!!!

  56. Chewy Says:

    Let something good come out of this horrible story. All you doglovers, please visit the Miami BSL website to stop Dade County from putting Pit Bulls and Pit Bull look alikes down, a practice which has been going on for 20 years. I live in PB County, but I am supporting the organization. PB County could be next.

  57. Kim Lauderdale Says:

    That was one mean as he11 dog and deserved it!

  58. Steve Says:

    I certainly would not advocate that anyone take the law into their own hands to punish this vicious, sadistic individual.

    However, if someone did punish her and got caught, and if I were on the jury trying them, I don’t think I could bring myself to vote them ‘guilty’.

  59. Dwight Says:

    Let’s take her to the pound and euthanize her. She will be an example of what happens when people like this kill innocent animals. And while we are at it, let’s take Cedric also.

  60. Debbie Says:

    To Mother of 2. This is not an abortion issue it is an animal rights and abuse issue. Get off your saopbox/pulpit and when the issue of abortion arises, then shout off your pretensive rhetoric.

  62. Chewy Says:

    Comment #70 - I couldn’t have said it better. Scary thing is there are other family members out there.

  63. Angry Woman Says:

    That is horrible!!!! and she only needs $2,500.00 to bond out!! THATS INSANE!!! if she could do what she did to her dog than you can imagine the kind of things she could do to a human being.. Ughh she makes me sick!!

  64. justice for one Says:

    Click on the justice link and that’s what she deserves.

  65. clr Says:

    Kim if the dog was mean it should have been taken to the “pound” to be euthanized; NOT stabbed to death. Furthermore, mean dogs are made that way from being abused by their owners (fear biters) or trained to be mean and aggressive by their owners; they are not born that way. No doubt that Cassandra, you, and the rest of your trailer/ghetto trash family are the source of the dog being mean. Both of you need to be locked up in a mental institution and put on a life-long form of birth control. You people truly make me sick and are a piss poor excuse of a human being.

    Is this how you treat your children as well?

  66. ROSE Says:

    This is why we need to be harder on people who abuse animals. What a little bail 2500.00 and she’ll probably will get community service and in a few months she’ll go and get another pet.

  67. Chewy Says:

    “The dog yelped while the owner slit it’s throat”. Sorry Joec, but this is the most VILE thing I have heard of in a while. She will be your next Manson follower, or perhaps she can date OJ whlie he is in prison. Kill an animal, and children and people will be next. You can asks the experts.

  68. jo Says:

    This is very disturbing, all she had to do was give the poor animal for adoption; she did not have to stab the poor thing to death. she defenetly needs help. i hope when she gets convicted, the juge in this case gives her some phycolagical help.

  69. Liza Says:

    wow, i couldn’t believe this !! who could do something as to kill an animal like this, your pet ?? either she is mentally disturbed, didn’t take her medications or was obviously out of control. Despite the fact there were other people in the house, why did they allow this to happen if they heard the dog yelping? sad, VERY sad. I have 2 dogs and always had pets and loved them as I did my own children. It’s hard to put down an animal, even when it’s “their time”. Very irresponsible person for sure ! I have no pity for that woman, if she’s to be considered a human being. Hope she can hide from the inmates waiting for her arrival !! LOLLL

  70. John the Barber Says:

    God does not want this creature. She just killed a dog. What had the animal done to her. The long post up there stated the jails were running out of room, where shall we put this one.

    Well. This one will be one of the “Murderers” if not contained now. There is no rehabilitation for people like this. She’s a broken cog that needs to be discarded. Off with her head I say. Bring back the Guillotine. The French had one thing right.

  71. justice Says:

    Let her suffer the fate justice has linked.

  72. Roger Says:

    Oh, how unusual. Another piece of trash in Florida who has exclusive rights. Do you think perhaps she was under the influence of drugs? What a shock that would be.

    When are “humans” like this “thing” going to start receiving punishment equivalent to the crime, I ask.

    How absolutely disgusting a story. I would love to hear what her family has to say. I pray for the dog.

  73. andrea Says:

    aww :’(
    that’s meann ..
    what was she thinking ???

  74. Roger Says:

    p.s.

    Did I forget to mention her lovely houseguests?

    What a bunch of ignorant idiots.

    Did any of them make it to the 8th grade?

    Or were they just too busy waiving confederate flags?

  75. PJay Says:

    To Post #23 from “the bloodthirsty mob”

    Wow. You write very very well! Your post is reasoned and thoughtful.

    I have, for much of my life, been one of the “get-as-harsh-as-you-can-on-the-scumbag-criminal-vermin” types, but I still do see a lot of validity in what you said.

    However, I just do not have enough faith that the mental health field really has the capacity to EVER “fix” broken minds like hers and so many others’. It’s not a science, to “rehabilitate” criminals. I really do feel it is very unlikely that any sociopath or psychopath can really be made into a “good person” through the intervention of psychiatrists or other mental health counselors. We as human beings just don’t have that much understanding and control over what makes a personality be the way it is.

    So in many cases, I do support the idea of execution (for seriously violent crimes) or long-term incarceration.

    I wonder, do you have any insights into why it appears that humanity is churning out so very many broken brains lately? Is it an evolutionary screwup? (As in, a flourishing of a set or sets of bad genes?) Is it chemically induced through our environment? Is it bad upbringing? Social influences (movies, t.v., books, video games, etc.)? What accounts for how truly screwed up SO MANY people are these days?

    Of all people, yours is the response to these questions that I would be interested to read.

  76. Taylor Says:

    To the bleeding hearts who feel sorry for this sick wacko, next time it could be your kid or mine. People who start out abusing and then killing animals are just one step from doing the same thing to a person. Usually a child (it’s easier because they are small and helpless like her dog was). Woman should be put out of her misery.

  77. RP Says:

    Oh good! Now Miss Lauderdale can get (another) tramp-stamp!
    It can read M U R D E R E R over a nice little drawing of her victim with tiny little droplets of blood dripping down her backside. Won’t that be attractive.

    That should scare off any number of her little redneck “suitors”. And I’m sure there’ve been plenty of ‘em, y’all. Can you say easy? Oh, I forgot; can you spell it, Miss Lauderdale?

  78. Ok then...... Says:

    So Roger, how do you know about the confederate flags? Where you there? I guess that anybody that does something like this has to be from the southern states. Maybe she is originally from NY. How would you answer that? This woman is an scumbag for what she did and deserves to pay for it. That doesn’t mean that it is open season on every person in Florida, Women, or Southerners. And it also doesn’t have anything to do with abortion or mental illness either Angry Mob. It is just more brutal violence that has become accepted in this country because of people like Angry Mob and the genius Roger who can play pin the tail on the crimal to help explain it away for their own weak minds. The violence will not end until we decide to say enough is enough!

  79. old school Says:

    Im sure there is more to the story,,if the news printed all the facts where would be the conterverse the dog might have bit A person or worst an other anamal,

    and yes leanne #30 that was the way it was done in the past
    you say redneck like it A bad thing?? what are you!!

    when I was 12 my neighbors dog bit the mailman over and over
    it was draged in the back yard and SHOT were the cops called NO that the humane way to do it stabing is A bit

  80. JPS Says:

    Kim Lauderdale…I think I have the right to stab Cassandra because she’s mean as hell. Oh, then that would make me mean as hell and then someone can stab me…

    I had a dog that was mean as hell once. I still have her, but she is nice now. Amazing what a little love and patience can do.

  81. JoeC Says:

    Chewy, your right she will be the next Manson Follower and So Will HALF of the Posters in this Area. Notice someone took down my Statement. Hmmmm F U to whoever controls this Forumn because you are obviously wanting this to go in a Negative Direction you P O S.

  82. Chewy Says:

    Joec, it’s amazing how many people are against this woman, yet you defend her. Because it is called having morals. Many other posts were taken down about people wanting to do to her what she did to her dog. I say the law should handle it, and we shouldn’t sink to her level. If you are not a dog lover, fine. Don’t own one. But for this scumbag to think she has the authority to kill her dog boggles my mind. A month ago my dogs got into a fight and after seperating them, I ended up in the emergency room. But I wouldn’t for second think I have the right to take my dog’s life. I still have her, and she, too, is a hound. She could have taken the dog to the pound and maybe someone who knows how to train dogs would have adopted it.

  83. Stacey Says:

    I am a vegetarian and advocate for animal/environmental protection. I am deeply disturbed by cases of animal cruelty - any time an animal is killed - whether hit by a car or whatever the case may be. What was this girl on? I think we should do the same to her. I believe in an eye for an eye justice. There is no place for on our planet for scum like her. I hope she will burn in hell for her actions!!

  84. JoeC Says:

    Chewy IM NOT DEFENDING HER. I stated that I thought she was a sick and had some major issues. But, Im stating that many people are saying some pretty outragious things like they want to kill her etc….. Well What makes those people any different than this lady? Regardless of the reason for wanting to hurt someone else, in the end that person is just as wrong.

  85. JoeC Says:

    Point Proven, Even Stacy Believes we should do the same for her. So if we are going to start killing people everytime they hurt an animal, wellllll theres gona be alot of dead people!

  86. Justice Says:

    okay JoeC let put her in jail forever and rthrow away the keys. We sure don’t need a sicko running around our streets, and thank God she Never has children. What would she do to them. She is all around a unfit person.

  87. Chewy Says:

    People are venting. I guarantee these people will never follow through, they are just being the voice of this defenseless dead dog. People that love animals don’t usually hurt others, but people that abuse animals do. I have children and dogs, and not to say dogs are equal to children, but if a child was killed in this manner, many people would want this woman tortured before she was killed, just because we are all so angry.

  88. Tricia Says:

    Too bad we refer to people like her as animals…but in her lingo then, she had the right to exterminate one of her own!

  89. james Says:

    what happpened to mans best friend

  90. turner Says:

    I wish she would get a steep penalty and die the same way
    She is worse than a beast !

  91. Cedric Says:

    It’s only an animal. I hope you animal lovers don’t eat meat.

  92. Roger Says:

    Dear “Ok then”, (#74 re: my #68,70):

    So, I apologize if I offended you, or any of the other kind Southern Ladies or Gentlemen in this audience. It was not my intention to do so, nor to equate you with some group of (probable) ignorant disrespectful rednecks who didn’t deem it necessary to stop a murder in progress.

    And regarding Cassandra Lauderdale, do you really think for just one moment that this person (using the term loosely) has ever set eyes on anything remotely similar to New York?

    See, I’m not talking Manhattan here. Someone of “her” mentality certainly cannot even know what country New York is in. And have you seen her (post murder) mug shot? Please! This girl is about as plain a country folk as I believe I ever did see! And it’s hardly likely you’ll see the likes of her on Worth Avenue anytime soon. See, they frown on street corner solicitation in them there parts.

    And as far as my experience with Confederate flags goes, all I can say is that they seem most popular amongst those pretty little redneck boys who attach ‘em to the back of them their pickups and go a speedin’ up and down Southern Boulevard, a hootin’ and a hollerin’, drinkin’ a beer and spittin’ in the wind. Now that’s talent!

    However…

    So, really, the most important matter to focus on here is the victim in all of this. Through all of our venting and back and forth banter, let’s not forget the unfortunate, brutal, and untimely death this dog has met. And may our justice system not forget at whose hands this animal suffered.

    May Cassandra Lauderdale someday be blessed with a mind and a conscience, and may this viscious criminal act come back to haunt her for the rest of her God-given days. I, for one, sincerely hope she is proud of herself.

  96. Kari Says:

    I know this is a late response, but hey… better late than never, right. Now allow me to impart my immortal wisdom upon you all. #1- If man were not intended to kill and eat animals, God wouldn’t have made them of delicious, tummy satisfying meat. #2- Dogs are not euthanized “peacefully” at the “humane” society… check your facts. It is a painful process that has many pound employees running for the exit. #3. Abortion has nothing to do with this case, however, since it has reared it’s ugly head in this topic- abortion should not be used as a form of birth control (there are effective preventive measures including abstinence, condoms, pills, shots, foams, etc.) it should only be resorted to in the case of an ectopic pregnancy in which the mother’s life is in danger, and is (in my humble opinion)forgivable in the case of rape. #4. Typically when someone is disturbed enough to torture an animal, or even poke dead ones with a stick, they are preparing themselves for the real thing… a human being. Yeah, it sucks that the poor dog was abused in such a manner, and yes, it may very well lead to bigger things… but animal rights activists do get their panties all tangled over Fido and often ignore when things like this happen to one of their own species. Take this all in. It will help, I promise.
