A Pittsburgh man accused of taunting a police dog on Sunday was being held in jail on $100,000 bail. Police say Kenneth King, 23, taunted Benny, a German shepherd, as he walked by a police vehicle.

Police say King screamed that he hates dogs and threatened to kill the animal after it started barking.

King's mother said the situation is serious, but questioned the high bail. She said people have been arrested for hurting people and they don't have bail set that high.

Taunting police animals is a felony under Pennsylvania's animal cruelty law.

he shouldnt be charged for that. i dont think its a good thing to do but a $100,000 bail is way to much. why would someone yell at a dog like that anyway Confused

should have let the dog free to defend himself, that would be completely fair in my opinion
