Reyes Martinez was in his front yard talking to a friend when his estranged wife drove up and a quarrel began, Austin police said.
The friend, Alberto Rivera, later told officers that Joanne Lee Hinojosa was yelling at Martinez, 31, and at one point took a swing at him, according to a police affidavit. As Martinez retreated down the street and police were called, the affidavit said, Hinojosa picked up Martinez's 20-pound mixed-breed dog, Marti, and carried it inside the house in South Austin.
Joanne Lee Hinojosa: Kyle woman in jail on animal cruelty, family violence and mischief charges.
A short time later Alberto heard Marti yelp loudly, said the affidavit, which described the Jan. 3 event.
Police found blood on the floor just inside the front door. They discovered Marti in a pool of blood in the kitchen with a knife sticking out of its left side, the affidavit said. Officers found a second knife on the blood-covered kitchen counter.
The dog had been stabbed 27 times, and police said a veterinarian who examined the dog found stab wounds to its lungs, spleen, diaphragm and stomach. The dog was later destroyed.
Hinojosa, 31, was jailed Thursday and charged with cruelty to animals, family violence and criminal mischief. The Kyle resident faces up to two years in a state jail on the charges. Her bail was set at $50,000.
This was a particularly nasty crime, Austin police Lt. Doug Dukes said. This will not be tolerated in the City of Austin, and we are going to deal with it to the fullest extent of the law.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see that either. And yes, animal cruelty is a crime. Why shouldn't it be? It's not okay to do these things.
What she deserves is what she did to the dog. All animals abusers (or killers) deserve the same treatment in return. Some person may thing I'm cruel for suggesting it, but too bad. Anyone that could do something like that to an innocent thing is worthless. I REALLY hope they don't have any kids.
For the people who are asking-why an innocent dog? Either the husband loved him, or he was a stand-in for the husband.
Answer:
that's messed but how come its okay to torture and kill bugs, rodents, insects, and etc. but its illegal to kill or hurt or w/e a dog or cat

Answer:
sad...poor doggie
and for the above, i think its wrong for mice to get destroyed but insects...umm dude they produce like 31512512652 like every damn day, i don't think a human would cry over an ant being killed
but other animals like dolphins,cats,dogs.. humans love them, i don't a person would fall in love with a mosquito sucking their blood or something -____-, humans love things that are cute....doesn't everyone....
Answer:
yeah its just an animal
Answer:
Oh, so it's about reproduction frequency and volume right? I didn't really wonder about those types of questions until those two brought it up hah. That makes more sense..
