A Salt Lake City, Utah, man has pleaded guilty to felony animal cruelty charges stemming from the death of his girlfriend’s puppy, “Moose.” According to Tuesday’s publication of the Salt Lake Tribune, 20-year-old Mikah M. Johnson pleaded guilty last Friday to two counts of felony animal torture as well as a misdemeanor assault charge.
Johnson’s charges are the result of a horrific case of cruelty which claimed the life of his girlfriend’s border collie puppy. The three-month-old puppy died on August 18, 2015 from multiple injuries, including blunt force trauma, a fractured jaw, widespread bruising, a ruptured liver and bleeding in his lungs.
As reported in Deseret News, Johnson’s neighbors reported hearing Moose being struck multiple times and crying in pain and his girlfriend admitted that she had seen Johnson kick the puppy down the stairs for not walking fast enough.
Moose was a 3 month old border collie mix puppy who was tortured for most of his short life before being beaten to death. The murderer is Mikah Johnson, 20, of Green River, Wyoming. The abuse was so violent that neighbors were woken up, but did not report him to the police because they were afraid of Mr. Johnson. Moose was repeatedly kicked, punched, and sprayed in the eyes with Lysol for nearly two months. Despite several trips to the vet the abuse continued unabated. The necropsy showed poor Moose died from severe bleeding in his lungs and pulmonary system along with at least two incidents of blunt force trauma. He had severe eye damage from being sprayed in the eyes with Lysol. X-rays showed the dog also had a broken jaw, missing and broken teeth, and the puppy’s liver was fractured in two places. Johnson has been charged with 3 felony counts of animal torture, 4 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, and 1 count of domestic violence. The domestic violence was against his ex-girlfriend who was trying to protect Moose.
The heinous crime could result in Johnson being sentenced up to 10 years in prison – his sentencing will take place on November 4.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO MAKE SURE THIS POS PAYS FOR WHAT HE DID:
My heart is breaking!
Lindy
I hope he does get the full 10yr sentence, I’m sick of these cruel f###s getting away with this evilness.
Do the same thing he did to that poor puppy and let him serve his time the puke..
I hope he gets the full 10 years too!
Mikah Johnson should be tortured and then terminated. His nails and teeth should be pulled out while he is tied up. After which he should be thrown down steps. Then his organs should be removed without anesthesia and donated to human beings who deserve to live.
Amen!
Jane you said it and I completely agree with you because that’s exactly what I’d do that’s for sure.
🙂 Thank you.
What a human waste this bastard piece of shit scum bag. If I were his girlfriend I’d would have you kicked him down the stairs and tortured him. Hope she broke up with him and if she didn’t and chose to still stay with him then she’s just a piece of shit loser just like him. 10 years isn’t good enough. Hope he ends up being some big bubbas bitch and gets what he deserves that crazy F##K! ????????????????????????????????
Let’s hope that the judge sees what a monster this person really is and throws a minimum 10 years at this SOB. It takes a very disturbed deranged person to do something like this and he should not be allowed to walk the streets for a good long while. Poor little dog. Certainly didn’t deserve this.
His girlfriend obviously knew this was not an isolated incident and let it go on and not remove Moose from the situation. She is a POS too and should be convicted also. Who ever would not stand up to this jerk while he tortured that puppy is just as guilty including the neighbors who were ‘afraid of him’
Good thinking Donna i am going to look up her info and put her up as well she too is a monster and a pos
disgusting deranged sick people that become serial killers do this they are no stable its not normal and the law need to start taking this serious and punish them to the max its suffering pain fear of a baby killed after being tortured the pain must have been horrific these people that do this to a innocent animal has to be in need of help they are mentally ill
Linda ppl like this are beyond help; they are 100% evil
One to the back of the head!
THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP,ANIMALS ARE NOT PUT ON THIS EARTH FOR ASSHOLE LITTLE BOY (MIKAH MURDER JOHNSON) TO TORTURE AND KILL,A LOT OF YOUNG BOYS (MIKAH) ARE OUT THEIR DOING THIS ITS TIME TO MAKE A EXSAMPLE OUT OF HIM,THROW THE BOOK AT HIM AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. THIS IS HOW DAHMER GOT STARTED!!!!
This human turd needs a bullet between the eyes. Not worth saving.
Lock him away before he hurts anyone else. Today’s animal killer is tomorrow’s serial killer.
What a dirt bag, evil creep this guy is! Throw away the key!
This deserves the death penalty it would be an additional injustice to let him live while good tax paying people work to pay for his care.
This is a sociopath and serial killer in the making. He should receive a life sentence
10 Years of jail is not enough!!!
Someone else will beat him to death in jail….hope he is someone girlfriend too.
There will be a special place in hell for this dude ???? The Devils got this , he is waiting on him ????
10 yrs is not enough. Someone like him is really the scum of the esrth. If he gets out of jail he will probably do the same thing again or maybe he will torture a baby, an elderly personor a woman. You can bet it eill be something weaker thsn him. Can you imagine the pain and suffering this little puppy went. The girlfriend is just as bad for letting it happen. My motto is dont mess with my family and my dogs are part of my family.
It is so horrible that people like this walk among us. Why didn’t people do something when they heard the torture? Why didn’t the vets do something? This is a mentally ill individual. I hope he gets the maximum sentence as he is a dangerous maniac.
Hope what comes around go’s a round that prison will do to you what you did to that pup. may your days be filled with beatings till you die Get-um guys RIP Moose
What a spineless coward Mikah Johnson is. It’s been documented the violent behavior Mikah Johnson was sentenced for progresses to human beings. Why this judge did not impose a harsher sentence along with a physc
eval is beyond me. This coward will get what’s coming to him someday!!!!
Mikah M Johnson is one of the most abhorrent monsters alive. He tortured a puppy for weeks before the puppy finally died of multiple injuries including a fractured jaw, broken and missing teeth, a broken liver, eye trauma (from Mikah spraying Lysol in the puppy’s eyes), pulmonary bleeding (from his lungs), etc. MIkah comes from a wealthy family thus they got the best attorney money could buy and got Mikah a reduced sentence….of time served and probation. Mikah is the type of POS that lacks the compassion, empathy and humanity of a normal person. Mikah will never be anything on his own. He will always rely on his parents money and influence. His parents should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of hiring lawyers to get Mikah out of trouble they should be asking themselves how they have raised a monster…I guess the very fact that they know what Mikah is capable of yet continue to defend him tells us quite a bit about their parenting and how they raised a monster. I hope someday, someone…a real man…shows this scumbag true justice. Mikah brings nothing good to this world while poor little Moose would have brought nothing but loyalty, love and companionship. Mikah and his pathetic girlfriend pollute the air the rest of us breathe.
Put this little shit in jail and throw away the key. What a bastard.
Kill the evil cunt…a long..slow…painful death to the fucking scum…shame on the people who did nothing also
