JOHNNISE DENNELL MYLES arrested for leaving her dogs locked outside on the patio. One died

- Nevada, USA -

Officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department animal cruelty section responded to an apartment complex in the 1400 block of North Lamb Boulevard on August 11, 2022, after a neighbor reported a foul odor from a decomposing dog and the whimpering of another dog.

Officers found two Pitbulls. Sadly, one was dead and the other one was in distress and had no food or water.

Police said that 32-years-old JOHNNISE DENNELL MYLES (pictured), left her apartment on August 5, 2022, to go on a trip to California.

MYLES said she was supposed to return to Las Vegas on August 7, 2022; however, she did not come back until August 14, 2022, because she was arrested in the Golden State on an unrelated charge, and after her rental vehicle was impounded, she had to wait for her mother to give her a ride back to Las Vegas.

KLAS reports that MYLES “told police she did not see anything wrong with leaving the animals on the patio, even in the extreme Las Vegas heat, because she believed they had enough food and water.”

According to Las Vegas Review-Journal, MYLES “told police she believed the dogs would be kept cool by a fan in the laundry room that was on the patio.”

The news agency further reports that “Animal control officers found the fan, dog bed, dog food and an empty five-gallon bucket on the patio. Temperatures reached highs of 96 to 105 degrees while the dogs were left outside, according to the report.”

The live dog was not the only VOICELESS VICTIM removed from the hellish apartment. Officers also found and seized a lizard, a snake, and about twenty fish. The snake and the lizard did not have any food or water.

Police said a necropsy would be performed on the deceased furbaby.

MYLES was arrested on August 16, 2022, and charged with two counts of willful or malicious torture, maiming, or killing of a dog.

She was released after posting bail and is due in court on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.

On an unrelated note, online court records show that in 2014, MYLES faced felony charges related to burglary, and buy, possess, receive, or withhold stolen property.

NATIVIDAD PIZZARO charged for the death of her dog who suffered from starvation and frostbite

- Massachusetts, USA -

The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office announced that animal cruelty charges have now been filed against 37-years-old NATIVIDAD PIZZARO as a result of an investigation by the Law Enforcement Division of MSPCA-Angell into the death of PIZZARO’s dog.

According to a press release by Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden, on Wednesday, June 8, 20220, PIZZARO was arraigned in the Roxbury Division of Boston Municipal Court where Judge Kenneth Fiandaca released her on her personal recognizance and ordered her not to own or work with animals.

As the press release indicated, the animal cruelty charge PIZZARO is facing stems from the February death of her dog, who suffered from frostbite and severe emaciation.

On February 2, 2022, a veterinarian at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston alerted the Law Enforcement Division of the Massachusetts SPCA to a 6-year-old female Pitbull-type dog brought to the center.

The furbaby, named Beauty, was lifeless, and PIZZARO requested that she be cremated.

Beauty “had severe muscle wasting, was covered with mud and feces, had ulceration between her toes, and was matted with wet coat hair”, said Suffolk DA Hayden.

A necropsy was performed on Beauty and the report concluded that ”inadequate access to food (starvation) is likely” and that the “peripheral distribution of lesions (paw pad, tail, and ear tip skin), environmental conditions (death within days of severe winter weather), and emaciated body condition resulting in inadequate thermoregulation best support the clinical suspicion of frostbite.”

Judge Fiandaca ordered PIZZARO back to court on August 18, 2022, for a pretrial hearing.

Suffolk DA Hayden said: “We have laws that protect people and laws that protect animals. Just as caring for children or elders comes with responsibilities, so does caring for pets. When people can’t, or won’t, meet the responsibilities of pet ownership we get heartbreaking outcomes like this.”

To Suffolk DA Hayden’s statement, I want to add this:

The punishments and sentences handed down to those who harm or kill humans are far stricter than sentences handed down to animal abusers. I yet have to see an animal abuser that serves 25-30 years or life for killing an innocent animal!

So, just as caring for people and animals involve responsibility, let’s make sure that not caring for BOTH OF THEM leads to the same serious punishment!
