A San Carlos woman fatally stabbed her boyfriend's pet bearded dragon in cold blood, the first act of a drama that ended with her in jail for trying to grab a sheriff's deputy's gun, authorities say.
Shawna Apour, 37, killed the lizard because she thought her boyfriend was flirting with other women, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The victim was Speedy, a 14-year-old bearded dragon, said sheriff's Lt. Ray Lunny. Speedy clung to life for three days before dying.

1. Can a lizard be killed in any manner EXCEPT in cold blood?
2. “Speedy” - apparently not...

I can't imagine why her boyfriend would flirt with other women...
I bet they cost a lot.
Pets are often targets of break ups, spats, ex-boy and girlfriends, especially if they live together. If you ever think you’re going with someone you could ever see losing it, or being really vindictive towards others they are pissed at, and you have a pet, get out of there if things go south and take your pet with you. Don’t let them know where you’re living in the meantime.
Wow, the bearded dragon was the better choice. Maybe she stabbed her competition.
Woman accused of killing lizard, running amok
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guilty. I’ve never killed a lizard. And I’ve never run amok.
I’ve WALKED amok a few times. But that’s it.
A lizard hit it ping.
What a sick thing to do.
Well if she’s running amuk hadn’t someone better grab her before she does it again?
Damn!
That’s one ugly lizard.
We have many varieties of lizards here. They are all over the place at the farm. But I don’t keep one for a pet. And the ones here are free.
They are good insect catchers and as best I can tell they harm nothing.
I have a bearded dragon...cool pets, just bask all day...until you dump a load of crickets into the cage, then all hell breaks loose!
Anyway, this woman is obviously quite disturbed.
There was a little teeny tiny lizard lying next to my elbow here at the pool. I’d post his picture but I don’t know how
We know what lizards look like. ;0)
No problem...
At least she didn’t stab the other bearded dragon.
Try standing amok sometime.
I didn’t know Roseanne Barr *had* a sister.
