- North Carolina, USA -
On March 3, 2025, Greenville Animal Protective Services were alerted to an act of animal cruelty through an anonymous tip. They learned that 29-year-old HASSAN ARTIUS MOORE (pictured) was abusing his five dogs.
Officer Brittany Thompson received the anonymous tip along with a video showing MOORE in the area of Deck and McClellan Streets, inflicting severe abuse on a defenseless puppy. MOORE repeatedly slammed the pup against the ground, kicked her, punched her, and threw her around. MOORE then threw the puppy into the back seat of a car and drove away.
Two days later, an Animal Protective Services Officer responded to an unrelated call in the area of Pitt Street. In a nearby driveway, the Officer spotted a car matching MOORE’s vehicle. A further investigation eventually led the Officer to MOORE’s residence in the 700 block of Hooker Road where the Officer discovered two puppies and three adult dogs in unhealthy living conditions.
The Greenville Police Department arrested MOORE and charged him with felony animal cruelty, misdemeanor animal cruelty, and failure to vaccinate.
Additionally, MOORE was cited for violations including the use of excessively heavy and short tethers, unclean housing conditions, leash law infractions, and failure to properly dispose of animal waste.
All of the furvictims are now safe in foster homes.
