ELISA SUMNER charged on five indictments accusing her of killing one dog and neglecting four others

- New York, USA -


Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares announced that on Monday, December 19, 2022, 27-years-old ELISA SUMNER (pictured), was arraigned on a five-count indictment before the Honorable William T. Little in Albany County Court.


According to a news release, the indictment, handed up by a Grand Jury on December 14, 2022, includes one Class E felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals, and four Class A misdemeanor counts of overdriving, torturing, and injuring animals; failure to provide sustenance.


SUMNER is accused of intentionally killing her 2-year-old German Shepherd named Nala, with “no justifiable purpose” at an Albany home on 42 Spring Street between Lark and Dove Streets between August 21, 2022, and August 29, 2022.


Albany Police investigators from the Special Operations Unit, who led the investigation, determined that SUMNER failed to provide proper sustenance and medical care to Nala who was suffering from malnutrition and severe bite wounds to her head and ears. Nala sadly died from the injuries.


The news release also stated, “Additionally, the indictment alleges that at the same address, on October 14, 2022, SUMNER failed to provide proper sustenance for four other dogs, and kept them in a residence covered in urine, feces, and garbage.”


SUMNER was arrested on November 1, 2022, and the Albany County District Attorney's Office said that she was released to the supervision of probation pending her next court date, which has not been yet scheduled. As a condition of SUMNER’s release, she is barred from “owning”, or being in custody of any animals.

JEREMY TODD SMALLWOOD arrested for shooting six puppies in the head and throwing them off a cliff

- West Virginia, USA -


Six innocent puppies were shot in the head with a pellet rifle multiple times and then thrown off a cliff. The devastating aftermath is four of them were taken to the Webster County Animal Shelter to be euthanized due to the injuries they sustained. Two others were taken to the Nicholas County Animal Hospital in hopes of treatment but one of the two died. Another puppy remains in critical condition.


40-years-old JEREMY TODD SMALLWOOD (pictured) is the soulless and heartless individual responsible for taking those precious lives!


On the afternoon of Wednesday, December 14, 2022, two people called the Webster County Sheriff’s Office to report that their neighbor’s dogs injured and killed their chickens.


Deputies responded to a home in the 100 block of Brewster Ridge Road in Cowen and spoke with the reporting parties.

At the scene, deputies found one dead chicken and multiple others with chunks of flesh and feathers missing along with the fence being torn down where the dogs entered the chicken yard.


One of the two callers told deputies that SMALLWOOD went to her home during the attack and said he was going to kill the dogs and after he put the puppies in his truck, he left.


Deputies then left to go search for SMALLWOOD and when they located him, they pulled him over on Williams River Road. SMALLWOOD told deputies his dogs had killed the neighbor’s chickens so he took them to get rid of them. Deputies noticed a pellet rifle in the vehicle and asked SMALLWOOD where the dogs were. He said the dogs were “taken care of.”

Inside SMALLWOOD’s truck were two children and they told deputies that the puppies had been shot and “put over the hill.”


West Virginia State Police Troopers joined officers in searching for the puppies and on Bishop Knob Road they “could hear what sounded like dogs yelping.”


At the edge of the cliff, authorities saw three dogs about 60 feet below. Officials were able to find a way over the embankment and found six puppies, three-to-four months old, yelling and whimpering. Each puppy had been shot in the head.


Officers called for the dog warden to transport the VOICELESS VICTIMS but as we sadly read at the beginning, only one is alive but in critical condition.


SMALLWOOD is charged with six counts of cruelty to animals and online records show that he is being held at Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility on a $100,000 cash-only bond.

GRAHAM WILLIAM REID accused again of animal torture while out on bond on an animal cruelty case

- Texas, USA -


30-years-old GRAHAM WILLIAM REID (pictured) did it again!

He tortured innocent, defenseless, and helpless kittens unable to dial for help.


In 2021, REID, a former geometry teacher at Fort Bend Independent School District’s Ridge Point High School, was charged with four counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals for murdering his four cats (Full story here).


This filthy murderer is now facing two counts of felony torture to non-livestock animals in Harris County after he abused two kittens in June 2022.


According to a news release by Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct One obtained by Voice For Us, deputies and Houston SPCA rescued the furbabies after a veterinary clinic reported to officials that the kittens were suffering from chronic physical abuse.

Houston SPCA tells me the kittens, Dunn and Rose, were 8 weeks old at the time of their rescue.

Dunn and Rose were found with repeatedly broken bones and fractured teeth, among other ailments, including a swollen head. Court records accuse REID of striking the kittens against an unknown object and kicking them with his foot. This took place while REID was out on bond in the horrible Fort Bend County case.

Houston SPCA also told me that Dunn and Rose, now 8 months old, “have healed since this summer and were adopted together into a loving home.” The furbabies’ picture was only released last week.


REID was arrested on November 29, 2022, while he was out on bail for the Fort Bend County animal cruelty case.

Court records show that REID will be arraigned at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center on December 8, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.
