KRYSTLE DENISE MITCHELL arrested – She tied her dogs so tightly that they couldn't move or breathe

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

Pennsylvania State Police out of Washington County arrested 36-year-old KRYSTLE DENISE MITCHELL .

 

On September 26, 2024, officers were dispatched to a residence on 119 Poplar Street in Ellsworth Boro to investigate an animal cruelty report.

 

In the backyard of the residence, officers found two Rottweilers and a Mastiff. One of the Rottweilers and the Mastiff were “tightly tethered around a wooden post in such a way that their movement, ability to stand and ability to adequately breathe were restricted”, stated the release by Washington Police.

The Mastiff was laying on the ground unresponsive.

 

Ellsworth VFD responded to the scene and after administering oxygen to the Mastiff, the furvictim became responsive.

 

All three dogs were removed and thankfully, they are doing fine.

 

Reporter Cara Sapida with WPXI-TV spoke with one of the residents who alerted the police, Makiah Bayus. Mr. Bayus said one of the dogs had the “tongue all hanging out” and he did not think the dog was going to make it. He said: “It was so sad I almost went inside.” He added he kept texting his girlfriend and was about to cry.

 

Humane Officer Cathy Cunningham with the nonprofit C.R.I.C.A.A.T gave the dogs food and water and took them to the vet.

 

Police arrested MITCHELL, the owner of the residence, and charged her with two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, three counts of cruelty to animals and three counts of neglect to animals.

District Judge Curtis Thompson released MITCHELL on $50,000 unsecured bond.

Court records show that she is scheduled to appear back at Magisterial District Court on October 7, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.

Investigation underway after a defenseless cat was found shot with an arrow in Philadelphia

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

The Pennsylvania SPCA announced that its Animal Law Enforcement Team launched an investigation to find the lowlife responsible for shooting a defenseless cat with an arrow and leaving her to die a slow and painful death.

 

In a Facebook post, the agency recounted the heartbreaking facts and shared the distressing pictures of the furvictim named Kimiko.

 

Kimiko lived in a colony and when her caretaker went to feed her, Kimiko was in her regular waiting place only this time, “in an apparent act of cruelty”, with an arrow protruding through her right thigh.

 

Kimiko was quickly rushed into Philadelphia Animal Specialty and Emergency's (PASE), where she was stabilized. Philadelphia SPCA officers then picked her up and rushed her back to PSPCA where two surgeons operated to remove the arrow and mend her wounds.

 

An x-ray image, which Philadelphia SPCA shared on Facebook, showed an arrow point wedged into Kimiko’s right leg, just inches away from her bones. Thankfully, surgeons were able to save Kimiko’s leg and she is now recovering while the veterinarian team continues to ensure that she receives the care she needs.

 

Kimiko was found injured on Thursday, September 19, 2024, in the 2100 block of 31st Street in Strawberry Mansion. It is suspected that the arrow was shot from a crossbow and it’s unknown whether the target was the colony or Kimiko in particular. Either way, the scum needs to be identified and they must face the legal consequences.

 

If you have any information regarding this senseless and despicable act, please come forward and speak up. Please contact the Philadelphia SPCA's cruelty hotline at (866) - 601 - 7722. Alternatively, you can email tips which can be left anonymously. Thank you!

According to the media release by the sheriff's office, on September 26, 2024, deputies received information that a male, later identified as MCMULLIN, was torturing and killing animals on video.

 

Acting on information received, deputies were dispatched to an address in Foxworth to conduct a welfare check on the animals. MCMULLIN was then taken to the sheriff’s office to be interviewed by investigators. As a result of the interview, MCMULLIN was placed in custody and a search warrant was served at his residence.

 

The following day, deputies received additional information that led deputies to serve another search warrant at MCMULLIN’s residence. “During the search, physical and electronic evidence was collected”, stated the release.
