Columbus the villainColumbus the villainBy: Kyle Johnson and Chris MalpassBy: Kyle Johnson and Chris Malpass
On his second trip to the New World, Columbus brought cannons and attack dogs. If a native resisted slavery, he would cut off a nose or an ear.
If the Spaniards ran short of meat to feed the dogs, Arawak babies were killed for dog food.
If slaves tried to escape, Columbus had them burned alive.
Other times, he sent attack dogs to hunt them down, and the dogs would tear off the arms and legs of the screaming natives while they were still alive.
