MARY ANNE HALAHUNI GAMBLE and FRED HENRY GAMBLE arrested for dumping sick dogs and puppies at a public park

- Florida, USA -

The Largo Police Department arrested 42-year-old MARY ANNE HALAHUNI GAMBLE and 43-year-old FRED HENRY GAMBLE (both pictured).

Police said that on December 19, 2025, they were notified that eleven (11) dogs had been abandoned at Taylor Park.

Staff at Taylor Park reported finding nine (9) Shiba Inu puppies in a storage container and two adult female dogs roaming the park.

Police reached out to Pawlicious Poochie Pet Rescue for assistance and according to the rescue’s Facebook posts, all of the furvictims were taken to Skyway Animal Hospital in St. Petersburg.

All of the poor souls were sick and had Parvo. Three puppies, Comet, Donner, and Prancer, were in critical condition.

Another puppy, a purebred Shiba Inu whom PPPR named Frosty, was rescued two days later and PPPR explained in one of their posts that he “arrived 48 hours after the other 9 and 2 moms arrived.” Part of the post read: “... he’s the worst off because he lost that time from treatment. Dr.C also noticed he can’t stand on his one back leg so x-rays will be done today to see if broken. He arrived lateral and has been lateral majority of time until today where we could see there is an issues with his back leg.”

Through subsequent updates, PPPR advised that Frosty had a severely broken back leg and that he was too weak and too critical to endure surgery.

On December 31, 2025, PPPR shared the heartbreaking news that Frosty had passed away!

As stated in their Facebook post, “Necropsy revealed a huge hole in small intestines and several other “weak” spots in small intestines pointing to trauma which aligns with the clean snap break of his back leg and his dislocated jaw. He died from the physical trauma he suffered before he arrived at rescue. All of this has been well documented and provided to Largo PD for their ongoing investigation. Now the hunt to find who hurt Frosty and dumped his 9 siblings and 2 mommas all with parvo is on. THERE IS NOW A $5000 REWARD LEADING TO ARREST OF FROSTY AND 11 DOGS DUMPED IN TAYLOR PARK ON DECEMBER 19th!”

The scum who were arrested in connection with this case on January 2, 2026, are now facing twelve felony counts of animal cruelty.

During the arrests, inside the couple’s home police discovered four additional adult male dogs who were sick and infested with fleas. Officers described the living conditions as deplorable. According to police, the property did not have electricity or running water and was contaminated with urine and feces.

Investigators say the couple were illegally breeding the dogs and were aware that some of the litter of the puppies were sick and died after being sold.

Police also believe there are other dogs buried in the couple’s backyard.

The four dogs were taken to Pawlicious Poochie Pet Rescue as reported by the rescue.

At the time of writing, records show the couple are behind bars at the Pinellas County Jail.

HARLEY LEE HALL, Culpeper County Animal Control Officer, arrested for choking a small elderly dog

- Virginia, USA -

Culpeper County Sheriff's Timothy W. Chilton announced the arrest of 31-year-old HARLEY LEE HALL (pictured).

HALL, a Culpeper County Animal Control Officer, is accused of choking a small, elderly terrier dog while trying to use a “restraint technique” to administer medicine at a local shelter.

Sheriff Chilton said in a press release that on December 16, 2025, his office was contacted by the County Administrator’s Office to report a possible animal cruelty case that had happened on or about December 9, 2025.

From the investigation it emerged that HALL had been witnessed by other shelter workers choking the dog “to the point of unconsciousness,” stated the release.

The furvictim was taken to a local Veterinarian by the ACO for “complications” and “health reasons”. Sadly, “It was decided to euthanize the dog at that time”, said Sheriff Chilton.

According to the press release, a detective with the sheriff’s office attempted to obtain the body of the dog so that a necropsy could be performed but the body had been taken to a burial site on December 11, and the detective was unable to locate it.   

After the case was presented to the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, a felony animal cruelty charge was filed against HALL.

HALL turned himself into the sheriff’s office on December 23, 2025, and released on an unsecured bond. Court records show HALL is scheduled to appear at Culpeper General District Court on January 7, 2026, at 8:30 a.m.

As Sheriff Chilton explained in his press release, “In Culpeper the Animal Control Officers and Shelter workers are under the supervision of a Director who is a direct report to the County Administrator. They ARE NOT affiliated with the Sheriffs Office and [are] not sworn law enforcement.”

I reached out to Sheriff Chilton and requested additional information about the furvictim, but he said that “the case is on going so the only thing we would be sharing is the press release.”

Sheriff Chilton said in a written statement: “This case is on going but I felt the need to release the preliminary charges. Animal cases will be handled by our Detectives as meticulous as all of other cases. Please give the Detectives and County Administrators office time to finalize interviews and gather any and all evidence. Animal cases are the heart strings in society and get so much attention, please see the facts before drawing incorrect conclusions causing the fall out on persons that are in no way involved.”

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Labuan for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

JASON MATTHEW BUNNELL arrested – One dog found dead and one found injured in a Geneva apartment

- New York, USA -

The Geneva Police Department announced the arrest of 52-year-old JASON MATTHEW BUNNELL (pictured).

On the early morning of Monday, December 29, 2025, officers were called to South Main Street where they found BUNNELL bleeding and acting erratically in the roadway.

According to the department’s press release, during the investigation neighbors indicated BUNNELL’s residence to the officers and reported hearing loud “popping” noises coming from inside.

Officers discovered a broken exterior window and upon conducting a safety search of BUNNELL’s apartment, they found a deceased male Golden Doodle laying on the kitchen floor. Police said the dog had what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

The Ontario County Humane Society said in a press release that they investigated the incident and the deceased dog, named Winston, will be transported to the Cornell Animal Diagnostic Center for a necropsy to confirm the cause of his death. 

The agency further reported that officials also found another Golden Doodle, named Beau, who was removed from the apartment. Beau appeared to be injured.

According to the Ontario County Humane Society, BUNNELL was watching the dogs for his father who is recovering from surgery.

At BUNNELL’s apartment, officers additionally found multiple shell casings, a firearm, and observed several bullet holes in the apartment floor.

The department’s Detective Bureau later obtained a search warrant that led to the discovery and recovery of handguns and long guns.

BUNNELL was placed under arrest and charged with animal cruelty, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and reckless endangerment in the first degree.

At the time of writing, records show BUNNELL is being held into the Ontario County Jail.
