RECARDA VASHONE HART, registered sex offender, arrested after several Pitbull dogs and puppies were found in a severe state of malnutrition

- Georgia, USA -

The Thomas County Sheriff's Office arrested 43-year-old RECARDA VASHONE HART (pictured), a registered sex offender.

On October 28, 2025, while conducting a sex offender verification residency status check on 14359 U.S. Highway 319 N, deputies found five Pitbull dogs and puppies in “a severe state of malnutrition,” said the sheriff’s office.

According to the office’s release, the furvictims were outside the home in a metal kennel.

Moreover, deputies learned that “another puppy, within that litter, had died and had been eaten on by the rest of the dogs/puppies within the kennel.”

The following day, deputies arrested HART and charged him with multiple counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.

Thomas County Animal Services removed all the furvictims from the home and are now caring for them.

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

Reward offered for information after two dogs were dumped in a pond and left for dead in Genesee County

- Michigan, USA -  

Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County reported that on October 28, 2025, two German Shepherds were abandoned and left for dead in southeast Flint.

The furvictims, a female named Star and a male named Ringo, were locked in a black wire crate and then dumped in a pond near the golf course in Thread Lake off Lakewood Drive.

Although Ringo and Star managed to escape the cage, Ringo got stuck in the mud and remained for hours while Star went to look for help.

Star chased after a pickup truck while barking to get attention and she amazingly led rescuers back to Ringo.

As stated by Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County, Ringo and Star were “emaciated and weak at the time of rescue”.

Both furvictims were brought to Genesee County Animal Control, and the agency said in a Facebook post that Ringo was unable to walk, the “cold wet pond zapped all his energy”, he had multiple perforations in the abdomen, was in sepsis, and sadly died.

Star underwent emergency surgery to remove foreign bones from her stomach and is doing well.

Crime Stoppers of Flint & Genesee County is offering a $1,000 reward for information regarding this heartbreaking case.

Someone out there knows!!! Please, come forward, do the right thing, speak up!

Please, help authorities solve this case, call 1-800-422-JAIL (5245). Thank you!

FRANK LOUIS MITCHELL arrested on charges of sexual contact with an animal

- Florida, USA -

⚠️WARNING⚠️The content of this article may not be suitable for everyone. Reader discretion is advised.⚠️

In this article and in the affidavit, there are references to “sexual contact with an animal.”

For the record, I totally disagree with the phrase as I firmly believe that it should be called what it is, RAPE!

The St. Cloud Police Department announced the arrest of 41-year-old FRANK LOUIS MITCHELL (pictured).

The department said in a press release that it all started with a CyberTip regarding the upload of illegal material on a social media platform, and on September 12, 2025, an investigation was launched.

Detectives identified MITCHELL via digital review and carried out several search warrants.

During the investigation, police found numerous videos and images depicting sexual acts that MITCHELL was performing with animals, “including his own dogs”, stated the release. Additionally, officers uncovered evidence of unlawful online communication and possession of obscene content.

The arrest warrant that Voice For Us obtained through a public search contains the descriptions of the sickening videos discovered during the investigation.

According to the affidavit, in one video, MITCHELL can be seen “putting peanut butter

on his penis then allows the dog to lick the peanut butter off his penis.”

In another video MITCHELL can be seen “stimulating his dogs[‘] penis with his hand”.

Another video shows “a teen child naked form the waist down who is letting a dog penetrate her from behind.”

On October 31, 2025, detectives from the St. Cloud Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division, working in collaboration with the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, arrested MITCHELL at his Jersey Avenue home.

Two dogs were removed from the home and are now in the care of Osceola County Animal Services.

MITCHELL was charged with one count of animal cruelty/sexual contact with an animal, nine counts of animal cruelty/possession of images/videos depicting sexual acts with an animal, and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

At the time of writing, records show that MITCHELL is being held into the Osceola County Jail on a $17,000 bond.

St. Cloud Police Chief Douglas Goerke said in a written statement: “These charges are truly disturbing. Our department is committed to protecting all members of our community, including vulnerable populations and animals, and holding offenders accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

This is an active investigation, with additional charges pending.
