MYAH AUTRY arrested on criminal trespassing charges

- Brooklyn, New York, USA -

30-year-old MYAH AUTRY turned herself in on Wednesday night, November 6.

She said she did not know the NYPD had a warrant out for her arrest.

Police confirmed the next day AUTRY was charged with two counts of criminal trespassing.

In late September while visiting the Bronx Zoo, the Brooklyn resident entered the fenced giraffe enclosure and climbed into the African lion’s exhibit without permission.

AUTRY filmed a video which she later posted on Instagram.

While she is face to face with the male lion, the woman can be seen in the video waiving at the big cat and dancing.

The Bronx Zoo said they have a zero-tolerance policy on trespassing and violations.

Bear shot by hunter fights back before dying

- Haywood County, North Carolina, USA -

An innocent bear died but not before fighting back with his shooter.

His shooter is a hunter named MARTIN MCGAHA from Tennessee.

WLOS reports that on Saturday, November 2, MCGAHA was hunting with his friend Cat Miller, a 12-year-old boy and their hunting dogs in the Mount Sterling area.

At some point the dogs treed a black bear and the juvenile took the first shot at the helpless animal.

Reportedly, MCGAHA took five more shots at the bear who managed to climb down and understandably lunged at his shooter.

As WLOS reports, the bear, the dogs and hunter senior, fell down nearly 100 feet off a cliff.

The bear walked away and Cat Miller made her way down.

Captain Andrew Helton with the with the NC Wildlife Resource Commission said that MCGAHA had injuries on his legs and was taken to Mission Hospital.

He is alive and in a stable condition.

Sadly, the bear was found lifeless the next day by a creek.

Unfortunately, no charges are pending as it is bear season.

Bear hunting season in the North Carolina mountains runs October 14 - November 23 and December 16 - January 1.

Imagine if there was ‘Animal Abusers Season’ during which animal abusers and hunters could be put to sleep.....

Horse trapped in aluminum fencing saved by a collaboration between police and firefighters

- Louisiana, USA -

On Monday morning, October 28, the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office received a call about a horse who was laying on the ground stuck in an aluminum fencing.

Deputy Jessie Bearden and Deputy Mark Fortenberry responded to a Benton area just off of Linton-Bellevue Road and discovered a helpless horse tangled up in the fence as pictures show.

Firefighters from Benton Fire Department and Bossier Parish Animal Control also responded to the scene, as well as neighbors and two more deputies from the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Keith Plunkett and Deputy Jeffery Barnes.

The Sheriff’s Office Facebook post reports that Dep. Bearden said: “When I got there, the horse was passed out and near death.”

He continued to say: “We positioned the horse better so he could get some air, and I consoled the horse to ensure he didn’t hurt himself anymore.”

They were able to use bolt cutters to free the horse.

The person who called the Sheriff’s Office to report this, was an employee with ‘Strongmen Movers’, former LSP trooper JC Kelly.

At first he noticed a damaged livestock pen, but when looking closer, he saw the helpless horse desperately kicking and flailing in an attempt to free himself.

As you can see from the pictures, the poor horse’s head was stuck between the fence railing and he was suffocating. If the passerby hadn’t called the Sheriff’s Office the horse would have lost his precious life.

The beautiful animal was able to stand up after he was freed from the fencing without major injuries.
