RYAN BARRY facing animal cruelty charges for abandoning a dog tied to a tree

- Connecticut, USA -


The Enfield Police Department arrested 33-year-old RYAN BARRY in connection with the callous abandonment of a defenseless dog.


On December 26, through a Facebook post, the Department reached out to the public for assistance after a 3–5-year-old male Pitbull mix was found tied to a tree in Brainerd Park.


Police said the furvictim had been tied to a tree with a leash that was just enough “to move only one foot in any direction.”

Later on the same day, Police then advised that the dog’s guardian had been located though they were maintaining custody of the dog.


I reached out to Enfield Police Chief Alaric Fox and requested additional information about the Voiceless Victim and I should hear back from an Animal Control Officer in the next few days.


Chief Fox tells me that BARRY was arrested on a summons which is a promise to appear and therefore, since he was not a custodial arrest, there isn’t a booking photograph as I requested.


BARRY was taken into custody on December 26, at approximately 6:00 p.m. and charged with cruelty to animals, first offense. He is scheduled to be arraigned at Hartford Community Court on January 7, 2025.

DANTE MEADE arrested after his dog was found emaciated and abandoned in a vacant building

- New York, USA -

 

The Suffolk County SPCA arrested 23-year-old DANTE MEADE, of Brentwood, for abandoning his dog.

 

According to the agency’s chief, Roy Gross, on or about February 5, 2024, the dog, a male Stafford Shire American Pitbull named Henry, was abandoned at a vacant building and when he was found he was “emaciated with a poor body condition where the bones of the spine, ribs and pelvis were protruding.” Henry was taken to a local animal shelter.

 

An investigation into the incident led to MEADE. On July 21, 2024, MEADE was located in Manhattan and was charged with animal abuse and abandonment.

MEADE is scheduled to appear at First District Court in Central Islip on August 9, 2024.

Reward for information leading to the monster who abandoned a zip-tied dog keeps growing

- California, USA -

 

On July 3, 2024, just before sunset, two hikers had been passing by a ravine in Malibu Creek Canyon, some 250 feet down the side of the road, when they discovered an abandoned dog.

 

The furvictim, a male German Shepherd now named Argon and estimated to be about 7 years old, was found with zip ties around his mouth and neck.

 

The hikers alerted Lost Hills Sheriff's Station and County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control and then managed to remove the zip tie from Argon’s mouth before officials arrived.   

 

When officials responded to the scene, they helped the hikers bring Argon to safety.

 

In Defense Of Animals reports that Argon was first taken to the Palmdale Animal Care Center to be treated and then to the Agoura Animal Care Center.

According to In Defense Of Animals, “Veterinarians found he had a lot of inflammation, and warts and skin tags on his legs, stomach and groin. It was suspected he was exposed to poison oak, and that he may be suffering from lymphoma.”

 

On July 11, 2024, Argon was placed in the care of German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County and a week later the rescue posted an update on their Facebook page.


Part of the post read: “A lot has happened since Argon found his way to GSROC.  He remains at our vet for ongoing care, receiving treatment to reduce the edema (swelling) around all of his joints.  His lymph notes in his neck are huge--the size of ping-pong balls.  He is still very, very thin, but eating very well--many small meals each day to gradually put weight on him.  The official diagnosis is lymphoma, but we are awaiting some more sophisticated test results to determine what level the cancer has reached and whether it is B or T cell treatment required.”

 

As reported by In Defense Of Animals, Maria Dales, Founder and Director of German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County said in a statement: “Argon is an incredible mixture of strength and softness. He survived abandonment and abuse, yet miraculously, he remains a gentle soul. He seems to sense that we are all here to help him and his trust level is growing. He doesn't appear to be as introverted as he was when he arrived. He will see a veterinary oncologist next week so we can determine the next steps of his treatment plan.

 

Someone, somewhere knows who this dog belonged to and can help authorities apprehend the person who harmed this beautiful dog. We are hoping that someone in the public will have the courage and compassion to get this cruel abuser off the streets.”

 

The reward offered for information leading to the arrest of the despicable individual(s) is now $25,000.

 

“We’ve been overwhelmed by the public response. So many people are concerned about Argon and want to see his abuser held accountable. Someone knows this dog and the person who hurt him. We hope this huge reward offer encourages that person to step forward and share their tip with us so we can get justice for Argon”, said Fleur Dawes, Communications Director at In Defense of Animals.

 

County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control said if you have credible info related to Argon’s case, please call (562) - 940 - 6898. Thank you!

 

I want to say to that someone who knows who abandoned Argon, that if you don’t come forward and speak up, you are just as guilty!
