The Animal Legal Defense Fund, an American legal advocacy organization for animals, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the monster(s) who abandoned three helpless kittens.

 

In a press release the organization said that the furvictims were left to die in a trash compactor near the Darlington Heights convenience site in Prince Edward County. On the morning of May 23, 2024, a local attendant heard the only surviving kitten meowing and found her “clinging to life” in an orange plastic bag where her siblings were sadly discovered lifeless.

 

In a Facebook post, Prince Edward County Animal Care and Control said: “If it weren’t for the attendant at the site who heard meowing coming from the compactor, then all would have perished.”

 

The kitten, named Zoey, was bathed and brought to a local veterinarian for examination. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, she “has been adopted into a loving home, and is doing very well.”

 

Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard said: “Abandoning kittens in a trash compactor not only leaves them to die a painful death, but is also a criminal violation of Virgina’s cruelty code. We are hopeful that members of the community are able to come forward with information that will lead to justice for these animals and prevent similar actions in the future.”

 

Prince Edward County Animal Control and the Prince Edward County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the incident and are reaching out to the public to come forward with information that can identify the heartless and soulless individual(s) responsible for this heinous crime.

 

Prince Edward County’s Chief Animal Control Officer Adam Mumma said: “We are beyond grateful for the support of the Animal League Defense Fund for posting a reward for this heinous crime that occurred in our community. The County is committed to bringing this individual to justice. We urge anyone with information to please contact Prince Edward County Animal Control at 434-223-7310.”

 

If you know who did it, do the right thing and speak up or you are just as guilty!

 

The names of the deceased furvictims were not disclosed, so I took the liberty of naming them Cherry and Kiwi for the tribute image. Should their given names be made public, I will rectify them accordingly.

Two kittens who were stolen from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay are now back and safe!

 

On March 8, 2024, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay took their appeal to Facebook asking the community to help.

According to the organization’s post, on March 7, 2024, a young female, and a young male (both pictured), entered the shelter and “brazenly STOLE two innocent underage kittens from the off-limits kitten nursery.”

 

The post goes on to say that the two individuals “scouted out the two kittens they wanted from outside the room, then snuck in, took them, and shoved them into their backpacks before quickly leaving.”

 

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay identified the kittens as Marcus and Mitch.

 

In an update published on March 9, 2024, the organization advised that Marcus and Mitch were returned to the shelter by the Tampa Police Department. With the help of tips from the local community, officers retrieved the stolen furbabies and brought them back safely to the shelter.

 

Marcus and Mitch were examined and are thankfully healthy and doing well.

 

Police are continuing to investigate this incident and at this time they are not releasing additional details regarding the suspects or the pending charges.

GABRIEL SKYLER CASWELL, ex-employee of a Parker County Animal Shelter, accused of killing kittens

- Texas, USA -


An investigation into “an unexplained increase in kitten deaths” at Weatherford Parker Co. Animal Shelter led to the arrest of 21-years-old GABRIEL SKYLER CASWELL (pictured), a former employee of the shelter.


In a news release police said that the shelter started investigating as one kitten after another died with no explanation. Staff worked to determine the cause, and believing that the deaths were disease-related, they sent off “multiple specimens for testing and completed necropsies to identify the issue”, said police.


The results did not show any diseases in the deceased kittens, so staff at the shelter “installed additional HVAC systems, ensured proper cleaning procedures were followed, reviewed the chemicals in all cleaning products, implemented new policies, and closely tracked every missing or deceased animal”, explained police.


On July 14, 2023, police were contacted by the shelter staff after an employee witnessed CASWELL mistreating a kitten. At the time of the incident CASWELL was an employee of the Weatherford Parker Co. Animal Shelter. CASWELL fled the scene before officers arrived.


After reviewing the video with the shelter staff, police determined that a criminal offense had occurred, so detectives began investigating the case and obtained a warrant for CASWELL’s arrest. CASWELL was located and arrested the same day. Online arrest records show he was released the following day.


Meanwhile, the investigation continued and detectives reviewed more video footage. As a result of what came to light, on July 28, 2023, an additional cruelty to animal warrant was issued for CASWELL.

He was taken into custody on July 29, 2023, and released the following day.


CASWELL started working for the shelter in February and between then and mid-July, approximately eighty (80) innocent and defenseless kittens lost their precious lives!

Weatherford Police Sgt. Tiffany Vanzant told WFAA the shelter had fifty (50) kitten deaths in June alone.

According to the shelter leadership, the number of deaths is above the shelter’s annual average of twenty (20) kitten deaths.


Part of the news release read: “For something like this to happen is unfathomable, and we are heartbroken by the harm caused. This case is still being investigated, and the Shelter is partnering with the Police Department as the City continues to seek justice for all of Caswell’s actions.”
