Abused Dogs Found in Spring Lake

SPRING LAKE -- Animal control officers found a horrible scene in Cumberland County when 16 dogs, starving and abused, were discovered chained up in a man's backyard. Officers say the dogs were bred for fighting. The emaciated dogs had scratches and cuts on their bodies and ears. Robert McCullum of Spring Lake is charged with animal cruelty.

Animal control officers found two dead dogs among the 16. Officers said they had starved to death. One officer said it broke his heart to see the dogs in such shape. Pit bull puppies were also found abused -- their ears had been cut, which is commonly done to prepare them for fighting.

Neighbors, meanwhile, said they knew there was trouble with the dogs not being fed or watered properly, fighting each other. Animal control officers took the dogs away so they could get food and veterinary care.

 

Someone Cropped Dogs' Ears
With Office Scissors
Police Searching For Answers


INDIANAPOLIS, 11:23 p.m. EST May 14, 2001-- Animal control seized two dogs and the owners are charged with neglect after their dogs' ears were clipped with office scissors. The pups' ears are gone. They are recovering at the Johnson County animal shelter. "It just made me sick to my stomach to know the pain they went through," Julie Hively of the Johnson County Animal Shelter said. Someone cut the pups' ears off with a pair of scissors as the owners and some neighbors watched.

"When I came in the dogs' mouths were taped, the legs were taped together so they couldn't move and he used a pair of office scissors to cut off the dogs' ears. When I seen it, I didn't think it was right," neighbor Keith Woodall said. The person who clipped the dogs' ears claimed to be licensed. The man even gave the owners a business card. They paid him $75. The owners said that they had their ears cropped for appearance only. "We like the way it looks. It makes their heads look bigger. Somebody said something about fighting dogs. We never fight our dogs, not one time ever," owner Shawn Stratton said.

Police are asking questions and trying to figure out who performed the job. "They’ll heal, it's just what they had to go through," Hively said. The owners accused a man who works at a kennel, but the man said that he did not crop the dogs' ears, but didn't offer more comments. Whoever is responsible will face charges of animal cruelty and could get up to a year in jail.

Found almost starved to death, Caramel was rescued in time!

  

Jeffrey was saved by a good Samaritan when she looked out her window, hearing the screams of a dog in pain. A group of teenage boys were "hacking" him up with a machete. One of his legs was almost completely severed off, several wounds to the head which resulted in his nasal passage being cut off. Plastic tubing was inserted into his nose to allow him to breathe.

 

This one died of starvation minutes before an agent arrived. The owner left the dog on his lead in the backyard without food or water, and left town.

Owner jailed after injured pit bull found without food

Sun-sentinel.com Dec. 29, 1999

DANIA BEACH -- A beat-up pit bull was taken from its owner on Wednesday and turned over to a local animal hospital to be treated for a number of injuries and afflictions. The dog owner, Ralph Larry Young Jr., 24, was charged with one count of animal cruelty and remained in the county jail in lieu of $500 bond. The Broward Sheriff's Office said Young deprived the dog, named Gotti, of food and made no attempt to provide the animal with much-needed medical attention.

Deputy Mike Vadnal said the tan and white canine was found confined to a kennel on the 700 block of Southwest 12th Avenue on a short leash when he arrived around 10 a.m.. The dog was suffering from many infected fight wounds, an injured left leg and from a large abscess on its face. It also had protruding bones and numerous fresh cuts on its face. Vadnal said the complaint that took him to the home included allegations of dog fighting, said BSO spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. Gotti the dog, who is 15 pounds underweight, is expected to recover from its injuries.

This little guy was rescued by a police officer in Chicago

 

Was found as a stray in poor condition... No owner came to reclaim him, and there was no one to adopt him. He was euthanized on 11/11/98.

It was too late for this one... Despite great efforts from the vet, his life could not be saved..

Some idiots believe that starving a dog will make him a better fighter..

In memory of "PoorGuy"

"... Some people said the owners left him last year and he's been scrounging food and living in a burnt down house. They said he was a white Pit bull. But I couldn't find a single hair, just scabs and scars.... I hated to put him to sleep. He wagged his tail the whole time I was holding off his vein..."
