[Animalconcerns]

The Ascension man accused of beating and killing his ex-girlfriend's dog
two years ago appeared in court on Monday. Twenty-three-year-old Nicholas
Matassa faces two separate felony charges -- cruelty to animals and
unauthorized entry.

Matassa is the son of Ascension Parish Councilman Kerry Matassa, who also
oversees the parish’s animal control department.

The case against Matassa is getting national attention, as the Ascension
Parish District Attorney's Office and the judge hearing the case have
received hundreds of letters and petitions from concerned victims and
animal rights organizations across the country.
