A dog who survived being mercilessly thrown off a six-story Brooklyn roof this summer has been euthanized -- despite a barrage of impassioned pleas from animal-rights supporters.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said Oreo, a 1-year-old brown and white pit-bull mix, was put to death yesterday.
The ASPCA said it determined, after working for months to rehabilitate Oreo, that she was too dangerous ever to be placed in a home or even to live among other dogs again.
Oreo suffered two broken legs when she was flung off the roof of an apartment building in the Red Hook Houses in Brooklyn on June 18, 2009.
Fabian Henderson, 19, pleaded guilty to a felony count of animal cruelty. He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 1, 2009. Neither he nor his attorney could be reached for comment yesterday.
