Two Men Charged with Rabbit Death in Massachusetts

Gabriel Nava and Alexey Dimoglo, both 20 years old, have been charged with animal cruelty and the malicious killing of a domestic animal after allegedly killing a pet rabbit at a party in Westfield, Massachusetts on November 27, 2024. The incident, which involved slamming the rabbit on the ground and throwing it outside, was partially captured on video. Police reported that neither suspect was known to the hosts of the party. The arrests were made on Thursday, with the assistance of several law enforcement agencies, and the two men were arraigned at Westfield District Court. This incident follows a similar event in Canton, where teenagers were reported to have mistreated a rabbit at a party. The case has drawn attention due to its brutality and the involvement of young adults in such acts of violence.
