On Monday, May 11, 2015, a 15lb Cavalier mix named Cookie was murdered by a boy with the last name of Oshakuade. A summary of what happened as gathered from news reports is as follows: Cookie and a puppy were both in their enclosed backyard when Oshakuade opened the gate and let them out. Between that time and Cookie's death, witnesses saw the dogs hiding under a car while Oshakuade was kicking at them. A witness also heard Cookie yelping while Oshakuade was holding him down. A witness that saw Oshakuade kicking at the dogs was driving by in her car at the time. She drove away and then turned to go back because she felt something wasn't quite right. By the time she returned, Cookie was already dead. Oshakuade had beaten Cookie to death with a large stick he procured from Cookie's backyard. I am very confused about the inaction of the other witness, who lives on the street where this all took place. Why didn't that person step outside to stop it when he or she first saw and heard Oshakuade harassing the dogs? I do not understand that at all.
Cookie was a tiny little dog. Of reports from all who knew him, he was very sweet and never even growled at another person. I have a cat who weighs more! All of that makes the sorry excuse of an "apology" letter that Oshakuade's parents wrote even more disgusting. They twisted it around trying to claim that their son did what he felt he had to do. The letter:

| Epic fail of an "apology" letter. A new letter needs to be written where they apologize for standing behind their piece of shit son's bullshit story. |
The murderer in question is either 11 year old Ayomikun Chinedu Oshakuade (born Jan 1, 2004) or 9 year old Akinola Chibueze Oshakuade (born Dec 15, 2005). He lives in Fort Worth, Texas and attends Bryson Elementary School. The parents are Sunkanmi and Enyinna. The initial news reports said the unidientified (ha ha!) boy was 11 years old, then they corrected the reports to say he was 10 years old. Either there is a typo in one of their online birth records or the news agencies received incorrect information about the age. When I have 100% confirmation of which of the two boys is the culprit, I will edit this blog.

So far, the Oshakuade monster has received no punishment for what he did! When he murders a person in a few years and people wonder how it could have happened, this is why. The so called "Justice" system does not take animal abuse seriously and it's even less so when the perpetrator is under 18.

If you live in the Fort Worth area, remember the name Oshakuade. Please don't adopt any pets out to them nor invite the guilty party over for a sleepover. No animal is safe with him in the vicinity. Who knows how many other innocent animals he hurt before he murdered Cookie.
RIP Cookie. You were a sweet dog who did not deserve what happened to you.
