- Texas, USA -
On February 19, 2025, deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office East Montana Patrol Station were dispatched to a residence in the 3800 block of Zachariah Road for an animal welfare check.
When deputies arrived, they found three dogs separately confined in small crates, securely latched, without bedding or mats and filled with urine and feces. The dogs’ ribs, shoulder, and hip bones were visible and according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, the furvictims “showed severe signs of physical distress, including malnutrition and lethargy, as they had been forced to eat their own feces due to a lack of food.” Deputies did not find any food or water for the poor souls.
The sheriff’s office also said that the dogs “were barely moving and showed little interest in their surroundings.” One of three dogs was sleeping on the cold bottom of the case he/she was in.
Sadly, deputies also found a deceased dog inside a cage.
With the assistance of the Animal Welfare Department, the surviving dogs were removed and taken to receive medical care. The sheriff’s office said that due to the severity of their condition, the three dogs were reluctantly euthanized by the City of El Paso Animal Services.
An investigation led to the arrest of 47-year-old CIRILO RODRIGUEZ JR (pictured).
The scum was charged with four counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility with a total bond set at $22,500.
The sheriff’s office said, “The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will not tolerate animal cruelty and is committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions. We will continue to vigorously prosecute those who engage in acts that cause harm to animals or commit related offenses.”
