ANDREW LAURENDI, dog daycare worker, accused of abusing dogs

- New York, USA -


On Sunday, December 10, 2023, the Nassau County Police Department arrested 21-years-old ANDREW LAURENDI (pictured).

 

According to a press release obtained by Voice For Us, LAURENDI was fired from his job as a dog day care worker at Pawllywood on 30 E. Chestnut Street in Massapequa after he was caught on video swinging a few dogs over his head while the furbabies were still on a leash.

 

Police said footage showed that after swinging the helpless dogs by the leash, LAURENDI then let the leash go and the dogs fell to the ground. LAURENDI then proceeded to smash the face of one of the dogs into a fence several times.

According to police, one of the dogs “suffered a serious physical injury.”

 

LAURENDI, of 553 Central Avenue Massapequa, was charged with Animal Cruelty and Torturing or Injuring an Animal/Failure to Provide Sustenance. He was issued an Appearance

Ticket returnable on Thursday, December 21, 2023 and will be arraigned in First

District Court 99 Main Street Hempstead.

 

Police did not disclose additional information about the furvictims.

 

NBC New York reports that NASSAU SPCA went to LAURENDI’s home to check on his dogs but LAURENDI never opened the door.

CATHERINE GROPPER and CRYSTAL CAHILL facing charges for abandoning three cats

- New York, USA -


The Suffolk County SPCA said that following an investigation, its detectives have charged 32-years-old CATHERINE GROPPER and 39-years-old CRYSTAL CAHILL each with three counts of animal abandonment and one count of conspiracy to commit a crime.


The nonprofit said that GROPPER and CAHILL were performing animal rescue work for a program known as TNR which stands for Trap, Neuter, and Return (I call it Trap, Neuter, and Re-abandon!).

According to the Suffolk County SPCA, the women trapped cats in East Islip under the pretense of neutering and returning them but instead abandoned three adult cats in Tanner Park in Copiague.


Connecticut 12 News reports that the three cats are still missing after being abandoned in August 2022, and that animal advocates still come to Tanner Park to search for them.


GROPPER, of Massapequa, and CAHILL, of Amityville, are scheduled to appear in First District Court, Central Islip, on October 13, 2022.

If they are found guilty, they could potentially face jail time and fines.
