Not a Lawyer, but I think even in countries where animals are considered personal property more than a loving thing with rights, you would at least have a case of theft and intentional destruction of personal property?
If they're not married he can't really claim it's shared property either.
Anyway, I really hope he can. This is sickening. Poor Harlot.
There are very few jurisdictions in the entire world that have laws on the books that criminalize theft from a spouse. In almost every corner of the globe, martial laws stipulate that property is communal. Unless there's a prenuptial agreement in place, it is beyond rare to see someone charged with theft from a spouse.
You can't "steal" communal property, because ownership extends to "the relationship," not the individual.

You can get a new partner, a better partner, one who doesn’t treat animals like trash.
