HASSAN ARTIUS MOORE arrested and five dogs rescued from a Pitt County home

- North Carolina, USA -


On March 3, 2025, Greenville Animal Protective Services were alerted to an act of animal cruelty through an anonymous tip. They learned that 29-year-old HASSAN ARTIUS MOORE (pictured) was abusing his five dogs.


Officer Brittany Thompson received the anonymous tip along with a video showing MOORE in the area of Deck and McClellan Streets, inflicting severe abuse on a defenseless puppy. MOORE repeatedly slammed the pup against the ground, kicked her, punched her, and threw her around. MOORE then threw the puppy into the back seat of a car and drove away.


Two days later, an Animal Protective Services Officer responded to an unrelated call in the area of Pitt Street. In a nearby driveway, the Officer spotted a car matching MOORE’s vehicle. A further investigation eventually led the Officer to MOORE’s residence in the 700 block of Hooker Road where the Officer discovered two puppies and three adult dogs in unhealthy living conditions.


The Greenville Police Department arrested MOORE and charged him with felony animal cruelty, misdemeanor animal cruelty, and failure to vaccinate.

Additionally, MOORE was cited for violations including the use of excessively heavy and short tethers, unclean housing conditions, leash law infractions, and failure to properly dispose of animal waste.


All of the furvictims are now safe in foster homes.

ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER arrested – Five dead and four extremely malnourished live dogs found at a Clark County home

- Washington, USA -


The Battle Ground Police Department announced that following a year-long investigation, 35-year-old ANDRE TERRY TERWILLEGER (pictured) has been apprehended.


On November 15, 2024, officers responded to a home in the 2100 block of Southwest Fifth Street, where they smelled a strong stench coming from the garage area.

Officers discovered nine abandoned dogs but sadly, five of them were deceased. The four dogs who were found alive were severely malnourished and in need of urgent medical attention so they were taken for emergency veterinary care.


During the course of the investigation, detectives reached out for assistance to an expert veterinarian from the Human Society of Southwest Washington and the Animal Legal Defense Fund.


An extensive probe enabled investigators to gather sufficient evidence to establish that animal cruelty offenses had been committed. Investigators also identified TERWILLEGER as the former tenant of the home where all the nine dogs were found, as well as the individual responsible for the care of those furvictims.


Investigators then forwarded the case to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office requesting seven counts of animal cruelty in the first degree – death, and two counts of animal cruelty in the second degree – owner fail to provide.


On March 6, 2025, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office issued a warrant for TERWILLEGER’s arrest on the aforementioned charges.

However, detectives were unable to locate TERWILLEGER so the Battle Ground Police Department took to social media their appeal to the public for assistance.


On March 8, 2025, the police advised that thanks to the public’s help and “the swift action of our outstanding partners at the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State, the suspect was located and taken into custody without incident—just hours after our initial post.”


Battle Ground Police Chief Dennis Flynn said: “We are truly humbled by the overwhelming support we received on this heartbreaking case. The community’s vigilance and dedication to making our city a safe and compassionate place does not go unnoticed. Together, we can continue to work towards making Battle Ground a safer, stronger community to live, work, and thrive.”

LAGASHIA SHANTE WILLIAMS and GRACIELA AMAR charged with animal cruelty in a dog kicking incident

- California, USA -


The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office announced animal cruelty charges against 18-year-old GRACIELA AMAR and her mother 46-year-old LAGASHIA SHANTE WILLIAMS (both pictured).


It all started with a dispute between the two females and a neighbor.


The incident took place on February19, 2025, when the neighbor was in his own driveway washing a car and was approached by AMAR and WILLIAMS. The females began yelling at the neighbor and at one point WILLIAMS brandished an imitation gun. The neighbor then picked up one of his two dogs who were outside with him. As he turned around to go inside the house, WILLIAMS told AMAR to kick the small dog who was still outside, Gigi. And so she did. AMAR walked over to Gigi and violently kicked him/her making the pup fly into the air.


That despicable action was caught on surveillance camera and the video went viral on social media. In the video, Gigi could be heard crying in pain. The furvictim suffered liver and leg damage from the kick.


The Pittsburg Police Department investigated the incident and with help from the public it was possible to identify AMAR and WILLIAMS.


On February 27, 2025, police arrested mother and daughter and charged them with cruelty to an animal and brandishing an imitation firearm. WILLIAMS was additionally charged with making a false report to peace officers.

WILLIAMS had called 911 to report that the neighbor had a gun, “a claim that proved to be false”, stated the release by the DA’s Office.

AMAR and WILLIAMS were booked into the Martinez and West County Detention Facilities.

On March 1, 2025, the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office released WILLIAMS after posting $172,500 bail. AMAR was released the following day after posting also $172,500 bail.


According to the DA’s Office, if convicted, both could be sentenced to a maximum of ONLY three years in county jail and fined up to $20,000.
