DONTE JAMAAL SWEETING arrested - Fours dogs including a mama-to-be, found locked in a shed

- Florida, USA -

Thanks to an anonymous tip, or like Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said, “the anonymous Hero that reported this death trap”, four innocent dogs are now safe.

On Friday, June 17, deputies responded to a home on Andora Street in Lehigh Acres to assist Lee County Domestic Animal Services. Officials found four dogs, ranging from 1 to 10 years old, “locked in cages enclosed in a locked shed”, said Sheriff Marceno during a press conference. One of the furbabies was pregnant. There was no ventilation and no food.

It was 94 degrees outside and the temperature inside the shed was 111 degrees.

Sheriff Marceno said that Lee County Domestic Animal Services responded twice to the same house last week, and gave 23-years-old DONTE JAMAAL SWEETING (pictured) a chance to improve the living conditions these furbabies were in, “but he didn’t take it seriously.”

Now, the sheriff’s office legal team will petition the court to keep the dogs from going back to SWEETING. The VOICELESS VICTIMS are currently in the care of the Lee County Domestic Animal Services.

SWEETING was booked into the Lee County Jail on four counts of tormenting or depriving an animal. Online arrest records show he was released a few hours later and a court date has been set for July 5, 2022, at 8:00 a.m.

Paws can’t dial but you can

Unlike humans, animals cannot report the abuse inflicted on them, nor can they take the stand in a court of law to testify against their abusers.

Animals rely on witnesses to be rescued from abuse and to receive justice.

Humans who are the victims of ongoing physical and/or mental abuse may not feel comfortable reporting it or avoid doing so because they feel threatened by their perpetrators etc. Still, they have the option to speak up, unlike animals who do not have the faculty.

Animals suffer in silence while they are abused, tortured, neglected, and mistreated until someone becomes aware of their pain and does the right thing by reporting it.

Like humans, animals have the right to live in a cruelty-free world.

When you witness or suspect possible animal cruelty, do not walk away. Make the call. Save a life.

Voice For Us believes that not reporting animal cruelty is the same as committing it!
