Animal Shelter Worker Dumps Live Dog in Dumpster

Meet Michael Papini. He’s 30, works in an animal shelter on Long Island, for low wages, but is able to tell the girls how he’s “down” with PETA. He had one dog that was such a pain in his ass that he stuffed it in a pet carrier, wrapped it in a trash bag and tossed it into a dumpster behind a local gas station. The little mutt chewed its way out of the carrier, escaped the garbage bag, and then got the attention of the SPCA who then hammered Mikey with lulzy vengeance.

A worker at a New York animal shelter has been arrested for tossing a dog into a trash bin.

Michael Papini, 30, of Long Island, was charged Friday with felony aggravated animal cruelty, animal abandonment, and other related charges.

Papini, who works at the Town of Islip Animal Shelter, was arrested after the SPCA pored over video from a security camera that showed a black SUV pulling up to a garbage bin Monday morning. A man is seen getting out of the truck, and is seen throwing a black bag into the bin. The footage reportedly led detectives to Papini.

The dog found in the trash bin behind a gas station along a Long Island highway was a female Lhasa apso. The dog chewed its way out of the carrier and then the garbage bag, but could not get out of the bin.

There is no way Mikey can afford a black SUV on a volunteer’s meager income. So he must have used his parent’s SUV to dispose of the animal. If only Mikey knew of a place that would take abandoned pets? At least Mikey’s no Adria Hinkle.
