On October 30, 2024, an officer with the San Antonio Police Department responded to an apartment on 327 West Sunset Road after receiving a report of animal cruelty.


The officer met with the girlfriend of 21-year-old RAYMOND JULES BOMHACK IV (pictured).


The woman told the officer that while she was at work, she spoke with BOMHACK and he told her that he attempted to cuddle Wolfie, one of her two cats, and Wolfie “became agitated” and scratched him.


According to the report obtained by Voice For Us, BOMHACK told his girlfriend that he hit Wolfie in the head causing a red spot in one of his eyes.


The woman told the officer that due to BOMHACK’s “mental health history of suicidal ideations,” she left work and went home. She said BOMHACK’s arms were “covered in multiple scratch marks” from her two cats.


BOMHACK claimed that after hitting Wolfie, he wanted to bathe both cats and that’s when he was scratched.

The woman told the officer that due to BOMHACK’s “erratic behavior” he may have tried to drown Wolfie or her other cat.


She said she found Wolfie hidden in her room with his jaw stuck open and drooling. At that point she asked BOMHACK to leave her apartment and she took Wolfie to an emergency veterinary center.


The officer then met with the veterinarian who examined Wolfie and learned that when the furvictim was brought in, he had a “noticeable facial trauma.” The vet told the officer that X-Rays revealed that Wolfie had “a dislocated jaw, pooling of blood to one eye, and swelling to the nose and mouth” and had to undergo surgery.


The vet advised the officer that the total medical care cost was $858.12.


BOMHACK was arrested on November 9, 2024, and charged with felony animal cruelty. He was released from the Bexar County Jail after posting bond.


I have been sitting on this story for a few days hoping to get a response from the San Antonio Police Department and Animal Services regarding an update on Wolfie’s well-being.

I would have liked to tell you more about it and share his pictures. Should I get a response, I will post an update.

Following an animal welfare investigation, the Middleborough Police Department has charged 43-year-old KIMBERLY ANN SAVINO with twenty counts of animal cruelty.


In a press release police said that SAVINO turned herself in at Wareham District Court on November 7, 2024, after Middleborough Police had obtained a warrant for her arrest on October 30, 2024.


On October 18, 2024, Middleborough Animal Control responded to a home on 53 Precinct Street to execute an administrative warrant as part of an investigation prompted by neighbors’ complaints.


According to NBC Boston, prosecutors said that “neighbors had reported concerns about animals at the home, with underweight and muddy horses chewing on boards from hunger.”


Nicole Piacentini, Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney, said: “In the basement they discovered 19 animals, 17 dogs, two cats all in crates. All covered in urine and feces. The animals had no food, no water. It appeared the horses were chewing on the shelter as they had no food or water in the stalls. When neighbors would go over to feed the horses, the horses would rip the hay out of their hands because they were so hungry.”


Some of the animals were found lying on newspapers covered in filth. Officials also discovered six plastic caskets with decaying dogs.


Ms. Piacentini added: “Further into the basement was a freezer in which officers located approximately 15-20 more deceased dogs.”


On the same day, officers with the MSPCA Law Enforcement Department also executed a search warrant in reference to the welfare of the horses on the property.


According to prosecutors, SAVINO didn’t primarily live in the home, but in western Massachusetts, and police said she visited once a week.


Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said that before the MSPCA executed the search warrant, officers tried working with SAVINO to improve the horses' health but that she wouldn't show up and canceled on meetings.


In April 2024, while inspecting the property, MSPCA officers found SAVINO's horses to be “significantly underweight and were being fed with ‘very poor-quality hay’.” DA Cruz explained that officers had pre-existing concerns regarding SAVINO as in 2014, she was convicted for housing thirty-seven dogs in inhumane conditions. She was ordered to pay about $40,000 in fines.


On November 7, 2024, SAVINO was arraigned in Wareham District Court and pleaded not guilty to twenty-six charges of animal cruelty. Judge Edward H. Sharkansky ordered SAVINO be released on her own personal recognizance and was ordered not to have any contact with any animals.

DA Cruz had asked for a $5,000 cash bail, arguing that SAVINO was a risk and referred to the 2014 charges.


CBS News reports that outside court, SAVINO said: “This is America and even though things can look very condemning, I think people need to keep open minds, and wait and see. Things are not always what they appear to be.”


SAVINO is due back in court on December 10, 2024, for her pretrial hearing.

On November 6, 2024, officers with the Memphis Police Department responded to a home in the 4000 block of Reenie Avenue in the Nutbush neighborhood after being alerted by a Memphis Animal Shelter Officer to neglected dogs.


Police made contact with 34-year-old DARYL LEE MUSIC (pictured). Inside his home, officers found two Huskies and two Rottweilers who all appeared to be emaciated.


One black Doberman was found in a caged area in the backyard of the home and according to the police he/she was extremely thin and had severe mange.


Sadly, officers also found a deceased small dog in a black trash bag inside a container.


Police said in a press release that “The dogs' living conditions were filthy, cluttered, and unlivable” and MAS Officers determined that they had to be removed.


MUSIC was placed under arrest and charged with six counts of aggravated animal cruelty.


In 2016, MUSIC was charged with having sexual activity with a dog and is under a court order, issued on June 13, 2023, not to possess, harbor, handle or control any animals inside Shelby County.


At the time of writing, online arrest records show that MUSIC is being held into the Shelby County Jail on a $7,500 bond.


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