Having overcome last year’s allegations that he used a former model as his “sex toy” and regained his badge, gun, and reality show as Steven Seagal: Lawman, the actor turned deputy sheriff is now facing another potential lawsuit, this time for his role in a March police raid that involved busting up an Arizona man’s house on suspicion of running an illegal cockfighting farm. Shortly after the incident, Seagal explained that the raid on suspect Jesus Llovera—which involved a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department team in full riot gear swarming his family’s home, as Steven Seagal crashed through his gates in a tank—all came about because, as Seagal said to a local TV station, “Animal cruelty is one of my pet peeves.” So in order to prevent said animal cruelty, Seagal and his team apparently “euthanized” the more than 100 roosters it found on Llovera’s property and, according to a just-filed claim from Llovera, also shot and killed his 11-month-old puppy.

At the time, the use of several armored vehicles, dozens of law enforcement officers, and, of course, Steve Seagal riding in a tank to raid an unarmed chicken farm, level a surrounding wall, and smash out the windows of Llovera’s home was immediately derided as gross misuse of force and funds, all authorized by self-styled celebrity Sheriff Joe Arpaio in order to play up to the reality TV cameras—an argument that Llovera’s subsequent minor arrest for “suspicion of cockfighting” did little to quell. Llovera is now finally fighting back, filing the notice of claim as the first step toward a lawsuit that his lawyer says will seek $100,000 in damages and “a formal written apology” from Seagal to Llovera’s children for killing their puppy. Here’s hoping that Steven Seagal, puppy-killer, never meets Steven Seagal, guy from Out For Justice, because that dude would be pissed.

Wait, is AV Club a reliable source?

Or did He actually kill a puppy and chickens?

[glaurung]

That episode is going to be a smash hit.

The tank part is definitely true, and the lawsuit claims that they shot the dog, the chicken part isn't as clear.

Even when it was part of The Onion, the AV Club was actually legitimate news regarding arts and stuff.  They had/have plenty of attitude, but I'm pretty sure they're on the level.

Besides, Steven Seagal is a dick, and a psycho.  I can totally see him abusing his Deputy status, attacking a chicken farm with a tank, and shooting a puppy.

Just reading the thread title alone made me laugh

[yeshaberto]

what in the world?!!

I saw this on yahoo and figured it was some sort of promo for a new movie

Seagal could have raided his house and I would have just called him a dick.

But animal cruelty actually IS one of my pet peeves and I'm very much a dog person, so killing a puppy makes him 100% evil in my book.

Steven Seagal is the best.

Steven Seagal is the best. 

Ya...he's a real treat.
I like how beat the shit ouf of Kelly LeBrock so bad when they were married that she's been emotionally scared beyond repair and ate herself into a giant unfixable blob. Nothing like ruining a person physically and mentally to make yourself a better person.

The guy is a complete douche. I'm going to be boycotting Expendables 2 on principle.

[Zantera]

I have no idea how Steven Seagal is in private, but I love his movies.
They are by no means good, but I just like watching them and laughing at bad stuff, obviously he is not much of an actor, but I like him in a "he's funny, without trying to be funny" kind of way.
He also makes music that is surprisingly listenable.
I actually enjoy listening to it from time to time. 

[Orbert]

Yeah, his movies are pretty entertaining.  I like most of what I've seen.

But we're talking about something he did in the real world, so saying "Steven Seagal is the best" in a thread where we're talking about him being a psycho and killing animals might not convey the message you were intending.
