ROBERT PHILLIPS JR. could be facing charges after forty dogs were rescued from abusive conditions

- Ohio, USA -

 

Following tips from concerned citizens about animal cruelty at a property on 7474 Kilbourne Road in Kingston Township, forty dogs were rescued and the owner of the property, ROBERT PHILLIPS JR., could soon be facing charges.

 

The Delaware County Sheriff's Office explained in a media release that “Per Ohio law, the County Dog Warden and the Humane Society have primary authority regarding animals.”

 

On Sunday, April 7, 2024, Delaware County Dog Warden Mitchell Garrett obtained a warrant from Delaware Municipal Court Judge Kyle Rohrer to enter the property. The owner of the property, PHILLIPS, was not present during the raid, so no charges have been issued at this point, but are anticipated.

 

According to the multiple comments I have read on the Facebook page of the sheriff's office and the county dog shelter, authorities have known for four years about the conditions of the dogs and nothing was done before the Sunday’s raid.

 

Garrett said: “Mr. Phillips has been known to us for several years” but previous visits had found only six dogs, all in good health. Garrett also said that although complaints kept coming in, in recent years, no one would complete a witness statement that would enable the Dog Shelter staff to act.

According to Garrett, a “statement was received Friday night, alleging many more dogs on the property than were previously known and that they had been observed in abusive conditions.”

 

With the statement and the warrant, officials were able to enter the property, rescue the dogs, and also initiate a site investigation of the conditions.

 

Garrett said the raid took about three hours and was conducted with the help of personnel from the Humane Society of Delaware County, the Marion County Dog Warden’s Office, the Morrow County Humane Agent, and the nonprofit group Rico Pet Recovery.

 

The rescued dogs, most believed to be Pitbulls or Pitbull mixes, are being cared for at the Delaware County Dog Shelter and the Humane Society of Delaware County facility.

 

The Columbus Dispatch reports that “The Ohio Department of Agriculture maintains a database of high-volume dog breeders”. PHILLIPS, and the address of the home from which the dogs were rescued, are “listed in the state's database.”

ANIGAR MONSEE accused of torturing and killing animals and posting the videos on YouTube for likes

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find distressing⚠️

 

The Upper Darby Police Department arrested 28-years-old ANIGAR MONSEE (pictured), on January 19, 2024, following a tip from PETA about MONSEE torturing and killing innocent animals on her YouTube channel while soliciting encouragement from viewers.

 

According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, PETA documented a “scantily-clad woman torturing rabbits, chickens, frogs, and pigeons by slowly disemboweling and otherwise mutilating the animals while still alive.” It was further documented that MONSEE was also “severing the struggling and screaming animals’ necks with a dull knife over the course of several minutes.”

 

Police said that MONSEE admitted to her cruel and barbaric actions.

 

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt described a video in which the Voiceless Victim was a chicken and said: “During the video, she is soliciting more likes and more viewers. And once she gets to the point where she is satisfied with the number of viewers, she then proceeds -- over the course of 10 minutes -- to harm and ultimately kill that chicken.”

 

A video posted on January 17, 2024, called “Cooking Lucky” shows MONSEE torturing a chicken for 10 minutes, according to the affidavit. Toward the end of the video, she steps on the bird and kills it by slitting its throat with a dull knife.

 

Superintendent Bernhardt said that in other videos, MONSEE can be seen subjecting to the same horrifying ordeal many frogs, a pigeon, and a rabbit.

 

Other videos depict MONSEE “cutting the animals and scalding them with hot water.”

In a video from September, MONSEE is seen disemboweling a frog while singing “Happy Death Day,” to the tune of “Happy Birthday.”

 

When detectives interviewed MONSEE, they were able to confirm that the kitchen in her apartment was identical to the kitchen seen in the most recent video. Other videos were recorded at MONSEE’s former residence in Colwyn.

 

MONSEE has been charged with four counts of aggravated animal cruelty. According to online records, she was unable to post 10% of her $200,000 bail and is being held into the George Hill Correctional Facility pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for February 5, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.

 

As Superintendent Bernhardt rightfully said: “Even more disturbing is that there are people out there that are entertained by this and there’s a platform out there that is allowing it.”

DAVID ALLEN SAXTON strangled a dog, cut his throat, hit him with a candle holder and buried him

Updated: Feb 4

⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find distressing⚠️


- Pennsylvania, USA -


Through a Facebook post, the Media-based animal shelter Providence Animal Center, advised that a dog named Denali, who the shelter had adopted out, was found dead.


An investigation by Officer Jason Bell led to the discovery of Denali’s remains and the arrest of 62-years-old DAVID ALLEN SAXTON (pictured).


Daily Times reports that according to a criminal complaint filed by Officer Bell, Denali had been adopted out on August 26, 2023, to SAXTON’s daughter, Erica. She was made aware of Denali’s past behavior history “and she signed a liability waiver indicating that Denali may need professional behavior services.”


Denali was then renamed Duncan by what was supposed to be his furever loving family.


On October 4, 2023, following alleged Denali’s behavioral issues, the family filed a surrender request with the Providence Animal Center claiming that Denali showed aggressive behavior, including an alleged bite.


Initially, the family made arrangements to return Denali on October 20, 2023, but then brought the date forward to October 10, 2023.


On October 9, 2023, the Providence Animal Center called Erica and Lynne Saxon and learned that they had made plans to euthanize Denali and even booked an appointment at two local vets but these had been canceled.

On the same day, humane officers went to the Saxton’s home to perform a welfare check but they did not get an answer.


On October 10, 2023, Denali was supposed to be returned to the Providence Animal Center, but staff received a text message from the family advising them that they would not be returning him.


At that point, humane officers attempted to contact the family. They also received information from concerned citizens advising that Erica had messaged friends on social media saying that her father “Took matters into his own hands and took care of it.”


Three days later, humane officers tried again to talk to the family. Officer Bell went the Saxton’s residence and again, no answer, so he posted a notice of investigation.


While on the scene, Officer Bell noticed in the rear yard a shovel “that appeared to be recently used to dig soil”, report Daily Times.


On October 15, 2023, DAVID ALLEN SAXTON turned himself into Brookhaven police and said he wanted to talk to Officer Bell.

Officer Bell questioned him and Lynne Saxton on October 18, 2023. During the interview, Lynne Saxton stated Denali was not house trained and that he chewed items in the home. She claimed that Denali had bitten her daughter and stated that no medical treatment was sought. She went on to say that she did not feel safe around Denali.


Officer Bell then questioned DAVID ALLEN SAXTON and he recounted the distressing facts that ultimately resulted in Denali’s death.


The following is reported by Daily Times:


“He was sitting on the living room couch taking his work boots off when Denali started barking and lunged at him. Saxton pushed the dog backwards and Denali came back and started to nip at Saxton’s ear area but did not bite. Saxton then stood up and grabbed a dog leash that was on the end table near the couch and wrapped it around Denali’s neck in an attempt to strangle Denali with the intent to kill him. Denali fell to the floor after the struggle and Saxton thought he was dead, however Denali was gasping for air and Saxton saw his chest rising and falling.

Saxton then went into the kitchen and retrieved a large knife and returned to Denali, who was still on the floor. Saxton used the knife to lacerate the dog’s throat. He also admitted to taking a candle holder at some point and striking the dog’s head, causing the candleholder to break.

After Denali was dead, Saxton put the head and body in a trash bag and buried the carcass in the backyard.”


Officer Bell retrieved Denali’s body and a necropsy was performed by Dr. Kimberly Boudwin, chief medical officer at Providence Animal Center.

When Denali was exhumed, the leash used to strangle him was still around his neck.


Dr. Boudwin reported the cause of death was strangulation. The laceration took place after he had died.

The murderer was arraigned on October 24, 2023, and judge Robert M. D’Agostino set a meager bond of $20,000 which the murderer posted.


Court records show two dates for the murderer’s preliminary hearings. One on November 9, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. and the second one on November 29, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. both before Judge Georgia L. Stone.
