- Oklahoma, USA -


The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 74-year-old TROY WILL PIERCE (pictured).


According to the report provided to Voice For Us, on February 20, 2025, a deputy was dispatched to the area of 1722 E. 76th Street N. after receiving an animal cruelty complaint.


The deputy made contact with the reporting party who said that PIERCE's dogs were often roaming the neighborhood and he was concerned for their well-being considering the temperatures had been below freezing with wind chills below zero and the dogs did not have adequate shelter.


The man went on to say that before the deputy responded, he saw PIERCE's dog on his property and when he tried to approach her, she ran away. The man followed her to PIERCE's backyard where he discovered that the dog was nursing six puppies. Sadly, three of the puppies appeared to have frozen to death.


The reporting party then picked up the mama dog and her three surviving babies, took them to his home, and alerted the sheriff’s office.


The deputy then went to talk to PIERCE and showed him a picture of the mama dog that the reporting party had taken at his home.


PIERCE told the deputy that the dog was his son's, but he and his wife had been "in possession of the dog for approximately 4-5 years."


PIERCE went on to tell the deputy that he knew the dog had had puppies and that he had checked on them the night before when he realized that a couple of puppies had passed away but left them outside anyway.


PIERCE took the deputy out to the backyard. The deceased puppies were still there, "in a bare plastic dog house with no warming elements."


The deputy reported that the poor souls appeared to be only a couple of weeks old. He then looked around and saw two more young mixed-breed dogs in a bare doghouse inside a fenced pen. He further reported that all food and water for the furvictims were “frozen solid.”


Tulsa County Animal Control was called in to take possession of the remaining dogs.


PIERCE was arrested on three felony counts of animal cruelty and released after posting a $2,000 bond. He now awaits charges from Tulsa County District Attorney's Office.

TYLER FLINT GRIMES arrested – Police found a decaying dog and malnourished cat and dog in his home

- Connecticut, USA -


Following a traffic stop conducted by officers with the Torrington Police Department, 40-year-old TYLER FLINT GRIMES (pictured) was placed under arrest on an active warrant stemming from an animal cruelty investigation.


According to the arrest warrant, on August 19, 2024, Goshen Animal Control Officer Graham received a phone call regarding GRIMES. ACO Graham had had dealings with him in the past when his dog named Gonzo had run away from him.


ACO Graham reached out to the Connecticut State Police and Troopers Begley and Coretto were dispatched to meet with her.


ACO Graham reported that when she arrived at GRIMES' home, the home lacked basic maintenance and that there was a strong odor of decay coming from two open doorways in the home. According to the report, it was clear that GRIMES' living situation was unsuitable for humans, and especially unsuitable for animals.


ACO Graham said that the initial room had an array of objects that were piled in heaps about waist height, and at some points higher than that.


When ACO Graham and Trooper Coretto went to the ground floor, at the bottom of the stairs they found a deceased Pitbull named Harlem estimated to be around 3 years old. Harlem was surrounded in fecal matter and he was lying in his own intestines. Draped across Harlem's neck was a cord from the curtain above him. Given the condition Harlem was found in, officers determined he had been dead for approximately a month. Harlem was malnourished with bones clearly visible under the skin. As stated in the report, Harlem likely did not die of natural causes, but rather neglect.


As officers were examining Harlem, they heard a meowing coming from a cat inside the home. ACO Graham said that when she petted the feline, named Little Cat, she “could only feel her skeletal structure”, indicating she was extremely malnourished.


In the kitchen, officers found empty cat food cans and dog food bags, and other clutter lying on the floor that was covered with feces. There was also a couch in the center of this disarray and on the couch was a Pitbull named Gonzo sitting quietly. ACO Graham said Gonzo was extremely friendly and “navigated through the room over to us.” Gonzo was malnourished, had what looked to be a tumor growing from his leg, masses across the body, and his nails were overgrown.


When ACO Graham took a statement from the caller, she learned that GRIMES had had the animals for years and had “resources available to him from the town and friends that he declined to utilize.” The caller advised ACO Graham that she told GRIMES she would take Little Cat but he refused to give her the cat or surrender the animals.


ACO Graham explained in her report that Little Cat and Gonzo were taken into “what is known as emergency custody, pending a verified petition to the court to receive permanent custody.”


Little Cat and Gonzo were examined by a veterinarian and it was determined that Gonzo had a bilateral ear infection, a skin infection, was malnourished, his nails were severely overgrown causing deformation to his feet. He also had masses across the entirety of his body and a significant wheeze. His ears were so chronically infected that one of his ear canals was closed shut.


According to the report, Gonzo's first bowel movement consisted of paper products and trash, and very little fecal matter, indicating that he had likely been primarily eating contents from the floor rather than dog food.


Little Cat was severely malnourished with prominent spine, hip, rib protrusion, and significant muscle wasting. At the kennel, Little Cat immediately drank over a cup and a half of water, to the point where staff had to slow down her drinking.


GRIMES was arrested on February 14, 2024, transferred to State Police custody and transported to Troop L in Litchfield for processing.

GRIMES was charged with three counts of cruelty to animals and bond was set at $75,000.

RONALD EUGENE DAVIS arrested after twenty-one emaciated dogs were rescued from deplorable living conditions

- North Carolina, USA -


On the evening of February 16, 2025, deputies with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office, Road Patrol Division acting on a tip regarding neglected dogs in the area of Tisdale Street in Ellenboro, conducted extra patrols.


The sheriff’s office said in a press release that deputies did in fact find multiple dogs at a local residence who appeared “extremely malnourished” and launched an investigation.


The following morning, with the assistance of Animal Control Services and Foothills Health District, deputies went to the residence in question and began removing the dogs.


According to the press release, once inside the residence, officials immediately noticed that it was “in complete disarray, floors were covered with animal feces, and conditions that can only be described as deplorable.”


The sheriff’s office said the entire rescue operation of twenty-one dogs took several hours. As the dogs were being brought out of the residence, deputies saw that the Voiceless Victims had fur matted with dried feces, they were suffering from noticeable hair loss, and their bones were showing through the skin.


In connection with this case, deputies arrested 54-year-old RONALD EUGENE DAVIS (pictured) and charged him with sixteen counts of animal cruelty, eight counts of dog vaccination violation, and five counts of cruelty to animals.


Animal Control tells me that no deceased animals were found on the property and none of the rescued dogs were euthanized. To my question about the furvictims’ well-being, the answer was: “Most are still trying to decompress. Have made a little progress with interacting with the adults. As of now we expect them to make a full recovery.”
