- Pennsylvania, USA -
On March 20, 2023, 21-years-old TIMIA CAMRYN YOUNGER, of Baldwin, called animal control to have her deceased dog picked up.
The responding officer noted that the dog, a 9-month-old mixed breed puppy, was severely emaciated and had sores on his/her extremities.
Following further investigation, a necropsy was performed on the puppy and results showed that the puppy weighed 14 pounds when he/she should have weighed 50 to 60 pounds. Results also revealed the presence of numerous open sores.
Additional lab results showed that the furbaby’s bone marrow only contained 3.2% fat content. A normal fat content in bone marrow is above 80%, with any percentage less than 20% being consistent with emaciation.
Medical findings determined the puppy died of starvation.
Court records show that YOUNGER is facing two counts of Neglect of Animals – Sustenance/Water; two counts of Neglect of Animals – Vet Care; two counts of Cruelty to Animals; one count of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals -Torture; and one count of Aggravated Cruelty to Animals – Causing SBI or Death.
According to online records, on April 11, 2023, YOUNGER appeared before Magisterial District Judge Ralph E. Kaiser to be arraigned on those charges.
YOUNGER is due back in court on April 25, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. for a preliminary hearing.
