EYEISHA TASHAWN YOUNG arrested – 9 dogs left in cages in summer heat with no food or water, 1 died

- Texas, USA -

 

An investigation conducted by the Manor Police Department resulted in the arrest of 31-year-old EYEISHA TASHAWN YOUNG (pictured).

 

YOUNG is accused of leaving nine helpless dogs in cages outside in the summer heat with no food or water causing the death of one of them.

 

Police said in a news release that two of the dogs “were left in animal sweaters, commonly used to protect animals from cold weather.”

 

When officials were at the scene rescuing the dogs, the temperature in Manor was 104 with a heat index of 108, according to the US National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio Texas.

 

YOUNG was arrested and transported to the Travis County Jail.

 

I emailed Manor Police Chief Ryan Phipps to inquire a little bit more about this case. I asked him why YOUNG had so many dogs and whether she was breeding them. To that, Chief Phipps answered: “There was no indication that this was a dog mill, but there was some indication that the female dogs had previously had puppies.”

 

With regard to the deceased furvictim, Chief Phipps said that the dog was a female Pitbull but her age and name are not known. A necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of her death.

 

The surviving dogs “are safe and in the process of being lawfully seized by Manor Police Detectives and will [be] placed in animal rescues.”

 

I took the liberty of naming the deceased furvictim Gardenia for the tribute image. Should her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

JONATHAN ZACHARY URQUIZO arrested after his severely neglected dog had to be euthanized

- Florida, USA -

 

On the early evening of August 15, 2024, the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call from Blue Pearl Animal Hospital on 9500 Marketplace Road in Fort Myers in reference to an animal neglect case.

 

Deputy Barreto responded to the scene and learned from the staff that 26-year-old JONATHAN ZACHARY URQUIZO (pictured), brought his dog in for emergency treatment.

The report obtained by Voice For Us identified the dog as a 16-year-old female Golden Labrador mix named Molly.

 

According to the report, Molly was emaciated and had “maggots crawling out of her rectum.” The veterinarian who examined Molly determined that due to her condition, Molly had been neglected for some time.

 

Given the nature of the incident, Detective Melissa Harvey also responded to the scene and made contact with the veterinarian who had treated Molly,  Dr. Meredith.

Dr. Meredith explained that when Molly was brought in, she was cachectic “which is beyond emaciated.” Additionally, Molly was severely dehydrated “at 10-12% which is life threatening”, stated the reports.

 

Molly had no ability to focus and had glassy eyes.

 

Dr. Meredith showed Detective Harvey the maggots that were crawling out of Molly's rectum and vulva. Molly's vulva was “bright red and severely irritated.” Molly also had various stages of flea infestation, was not ambulatory, and her blood pressure was so low it was unattainable.

 

As if all that was not enough, Molly's toenails were over an inch long and “drastically curved.” Dr. Meredith said it would be “excruciating for her to walk.”

 

Dr. Meredith further explained to Detective Harvey that she did not want to give Molly pain reliever “due to the possibility of them killing her.” She went on to say that Molly's condition did not happen in one or two weeks but it would have been over months to manifest. Then, she estimated that Molly would not make it 6-12 hours.

 

Dr. Meredith made contact with URQUIZO and advised him of her findings that this case is severe neglect and abuse. She also informed URQUIZO that euthanasia was necessary to end Molly's suffering.

 

According to the report, URQUIZO did not authorize the euthanasia despite knowing that death was impending based on Molly's vitals. He said he wanted to take her home and spend time with her before euthanasia. URQUIZO also expressed concern that the maggots could spread to his cat.

 

Detective Harvey attempted to speak with URQUIZO but he said he would not answer any questions.

 

Ultimately, a different veterinarian was authorized to proceed with Molly's euthanasia and afterwards her body was turned over to Lee County Domestic Animal services pending a necropsy.

 

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said: “It sickens me that this sweet dog, 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲, was just trying to live out her golden years but instead was treated so poorly by this  𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧.”

 

URQUIZO’s cat, Ladybug, was thankfully rescued and Sheriff Marceno said: “I thank God for allowing my deputies to rescue Ladybug and save her from a terrible ending like Molly’s.”

 

Ladybug was taken to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital to be treated.

 

The sheriff’s office posted a video on their Facebook page showing the deplorable conditions Ladybug and Molly were forced to live in. As the sheriff’s office said, the house was covered in animal feces throughout and the video “shows just how disgusting the condition of the residence was for these two animals to live in.”

 

URQUIZO was arrested and charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty excessive pain/death and issued a citation by Lee County Domestic Animal Services for unsanitary conditions.

 

He was booked into the Lee County Jail and as Sheriff Marceno rightfully said, “Unlike his pets, he was given a clean place to stay at the Marceno Motel.”

 

At the time of writing, online records show that URQUIZO was released after posting bond.

According to court records, URQUIZO is set to be arraigned at Lee County Circuit Court on September 16, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.

TRISTAN BLAINE WOLCOTT caught on video striking and throwing down the stairs a malnourished dog

- West Virginia, USA -

 

The Beckley Police Department received an animal neglect complaint involving a residence on Wickman Avenue. The complainant had a video showing their neighbor throwing a dog down a set of stairs. The complaint advised that the dog was malnourished and appeared to have broken legs.

 

On August 16, 2024, an officer responded to the given address to investigate and upon arrival the officer made contact with a woman who said the dog was hers.

 

The officer reported that the dog was extremely malnourished and that his/her back legs were swollen and had open cuts. The officer further reported that the dog’s back legs appeared to not be working.

 

The officer also made contact with 27-year-old TRISTAN BLAINE WOLCOTT (pictured) and questioned him about the dog. WOLCOTT did not immediately give the officer his real name and identified himself as “Tristan Primeaux”.

 

According to the officer, during the interview WOLCOTT became “nervous”, was “apprehensive” and would not answer clearly.

 

One of the videos that the officer obtained from the complainant and that was dated August 16, 2024, showed WOLCOTT grabbing the furvictim, striking him/her, and throwing him/her down the stairs.

 

In another video, which was stamped August 8, 2024, the dog can be seen displaying obvious injury to his/her legs.

 

WOLCOTT was arrested and booked into the Southern Regional Jail on felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor obstruction of an officer.

 

At the time of writing, the Beckley Police Department has not responded to my several emails requesting information about the dog.
