- Florida, USA -
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office arrested 18-years-old BRIANNA ANN MARIE SAINVIL (pictured), after she starved her dog to death.
According to NBC 2, SAINVIL contacted Animal Control only after her dog, Drako, had passed away and told investigators that she had used Google to diagnose Drako with heartworms. However, SAINVIL never took her dog to the vet.
Animal Control Senior Officer Rheannon Juergensen said Drako hadn’t been seen by a vet since his puppy shots in June 2021. Drako died in December 2021.
A necropsy was performed on the VOICELESS VICTIM and a vet determined that Drako’s death was not caused by a health issue.
ACO Juergensen told NBC 2: “There was no absolute obvious medical condition such as any sort of congenital defects or anything to explain that type of death, outside of starvation.”
SAINVIL is charged with one Felony count of torture an animal with intent to hurt/injured/kill, and two Misdemeanor counts of abandonment of an animal.
ACO Juergensen explained that “You can actually, under definition, abandon your animal while still living with the animal. Abandonment in the sense of fail to provide, fail to care for, fail to provide necessary sustenance.”
NBC 2 reports that SAINVIL’s neighbors at Paxton Terrace said they always had an idea something was wrong with Drako. Kanvas Pool even told NBC 2: “At 11 months old, he didn’t look quite right. Every time he would be out loose a lot. He was always very skinny.”
Pool went on to say: “One day he was out roaming around so I knocked on their door and no one answered so I opened the fence to put him back cause I saw like a cage. It was very dirty. There was no water in the cage at all. And there was feces everywhere.”
It’s unclear whether these “neighbors” actually ever stepped in and reported what they were seeing to animal control!!!!
If you look into your neighbors’ yard and you do not report suspected animal cruelty, then you are just a filthy gossip and are no better than the animal abuser!!!! At least avoid telling the media that you knew there was something wrong!
Online records show that SAINVIL was taken into custody on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, and released the same day after posting a paltry $2,500 bond.
SAINVIL’s arraignment has been scheduled to take place on August 29, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. at the Charlotte County Justice Center before Judge Donald H. Mason.
