Shane Michael Thompson, 20 of Boca Raton, was arrested on October 20 on charges of animal cruelty according to the Palm Beach County Sherriff ’s Office.

According to the PBSO, Thompson took the deceased dog, “Moonshine” to the Cole Animal Clinic on October 17. Thompson told them that the dog died earlier that morning, possibly of a seizure. Staff at the clinic noticed that the dog’s body was bloody with indications of blunt trauma. An autopsy on the dog indicated that it suffered blunt force trauma prior to death and the cause of death was suspected to be asphyxiation. The dog’s left ear was also missing. The clinic reported the suspected abuse to the county’s Animal Care and Control who in turn contacted PBSO to investigate for suspected animal abuse.

Detectives interviewed several witnesses that told them that they had witnessed Thompson ‘hit’ the dog on several occasions. Thompson’s roommate, who along with Thompson bought Moonshine this past February, told detectives that Thompson had told him that he had bitten off a portion of the dog’s ear for disciplinary purposes. When Thompson was interviewed, he told detectives that the described events were in all part of the disciplinary process and that the “wolf pup needs to be disciplined or they will be uncontrollable in the future.” The PBSO determined that Thompson “inflicted excessive, repeated, and unnecessary pain and suffering to the dog Moonshine which may possibly have resulted in its death.”

Thompson faces one felony count of animal cruelty and was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on October 20. Thompson is currently being held without bail. Thompson was also known as Jason Creed, a porn star that appeared in several gay porn websites include Bait Bus and Circle Jerk Boys.

“We talked many times,” said another porn star who knew Thompson on a professional basis and wishes to remain anonymous. “He’s really a sweet guy who just needed the work. But I’m sure that Michael Vick seemed like a nice guy to some people, too.” – BK
