- Texas, USA -
The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office arrested 68-years-old CYNTHIA ANNE MANDERS (pictured), after a Brazoria County Grand Jury indicted her on forty-one (41) counts of Class A Misdemeanor Cruelty to Livestock Animals stemming from an incident that happened on August 18, 2023.
Back in August, a neighbor had called the sheriff’s office to report that cows were dropping like flies on MANDERS’ ranch, an 800-acre stretch of land along CR 809 south of Sweeny.
At the time, Brazoria County Sheriff Bo Stallman told Click2Houston: “There’s a small amount at first and there has continued to be additional cattle deceased as we continue to investigate the scene.”
Almost forty (40) precious cows and calves died from dehydration.
Officials that responded to the scene said there was no water to be found and according to neighbors, they tried giving the cows water after the poor souls charged their fences.
Click2Houston reported that “firefighters distributed roughly 4,000 gallons of water to hydrate the remaining cows” and that they were asked “to continue distributing water to the cows for the next several days.”
The sheriff’s office said in a media release that MANDERS faces a recommended bond totaling $125,000. A statement read: “Our community will not tolerate animal cruelty within Brazoria County. The swift and decisive action against Ms. Manders sends a clear message that such behavior will be met with the full force of the law.”
