- New York, USA -
The Ontario County Humane Society announced that 49-years-old URANIA WARONA and 61-years-old ANTHONY J. DEMARCO, both of Geneva, were charged with animal cruelty.
In a news release, the agency said that on August 13, 2023, they were alerted to an emaciated dog who had been seen in the backyard of a residence on 58 Wadsworth Street in Geneva.
According to the animal cruelty complaint, the dog was “crying and whining.” The complaint further reported that DEMARCO “was yelling at the dog and then kicked her several times so she would stop.”
The Ontario County Humane Society identified the Voiceless Victim as a 12-year-old black and gray mixed breed named Nina.
Nina was removed and examined by a vet. The vet diagnosed her with advanced cancer.
Additionally, the vet reported that Nina had flea infestation, that caused her to lose her fur, as well as “several untreated sores and growths”, stated the release.
Nina was sadly euthanized.
According to the Ontario County Humane Society, WARONA, Nina’s guardian, “has known about Nina’s condition for several months but has failed to provide her with medical treatment nor has she sought the assistance from a veterinarian or other agency.”
WARONA and DEMARCO were charged with animal cruelty and issued an appearance ticket for Geneva City Court. The court date has not been disclosed.
I find myself writing this devastating story two days after I lost a precious member of my family; my daughter’s boyfriend’s dog had to be put down and I am heartbroken.
WARONA and DEMARCO did not deserve to be gifted with a beautiful dog like Nina!
As I visualize Nina, emaciated, sick, alone, frightened, defenseless, and helpless, while she is getting abused, my hatred for WARONA and DEMARCO makes me wish them a slow and painful death!
