ANGELA BRIDGES GEARY, owner of Little Friends Pet Lodge, accused of neglecting animals

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Florida, USA -

 

The Quincy Police Department arrested 62-year-old ANGELA BRIDGES GEARY (pictured),  owner of Little Friends Pet Lodge.

 

Court documents obtained by Voice For Us accuse GEARY of keeping cats and dogs at her business on 43 N Cleveland Street in deplorable condition.

 

When Quincy Police Sgt. Barber first responded to the facility back in March, he reported that he was “overwhelmed with the scent of urine and fecal matter” to the point that he started vomiting.

Quincy Police had been contacted by GEARY’s former employees after discovering a freezer with dead cats and dogs inside.

 

According to Sgt. Barber’s report, when he entered the facility, he saw fecal matter on the floor along with cat litter, dog wee pads, and urine-stained newspapers. He saw kennels that were covered in feces and had no food or water for the cats and dogs who were housed inside.

 

Forty-one (41) dogs and ten (10) cats were found on the property in inhumane conditions.

 

Based on his findings, Sgt. Barber contacted the Code Enforcement Department and the business was issued a stop work order for all business at the location. Sgt. Barber also called in Animal Control and the ASPCA who responded with cleaning supplies and food for the cats and dogs.

 

The freezer containing the deceased animals was transported to the ASPCA in Gainesville and all of the furvictims, approximately eight-seven (87), were released to Elizabeth Pearlman, DVM a Forensic Veterinarian for Humane Law Enforcement. For most of the animals a necropsy could not be performed as they were in an advanced state of decomposition and crushed from being stacked in the freezer. 

 

In April, Dr. Pearlman contacted investigators to give an update on the first thirty-two (32) animals who were set aside for a necropsy. She advised that twenty-three (23) of them were felines and nine (9) were puppies, one without a head. Dr. Pearlman advised that all of the animals showed signs of “severe flea infestation” and said that to complete all the necropsies would require approximately three more months.

 

During the investigation, GEARY agreed to sign over fifty-one (51) animals to JUDY LYNN DUBOIS, owner of Du Bois Rescue.

As many of you know, Leon County authorities arrested DUBOIS in May 2024, and six dogs were removed from her property.

 

GEARY was arrested on June 2, 2024, on fifty-one counts of animal cruelty and fifty-one counts of confining animals without sufficient food.

She was released from the Gadsden County Jail the following day after posting a $5,000 bond.

According to court records, GEARY’s arraignment is scheduled for June 25, 2024, at 11:15 a.m.

JASMINE MOUTON and KENDEL TYLER arrested – She threw 2 puppies into a dumpster, he did not stop her

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Louisiana, USA -

 

The St. Landry Parish Government arrested 22-year-old JASMINE MOUTON and 22-year-old KENDEL TYLER both of Opelousas.

 

The agency had reached out to the public for assistance in identifying a female who was captured by surveillance cameras dumping two puppies into a trash can outside of Sebastian West End Seafood on 1538 W Landry Street in Opelousas. The incident took place on the early evening of Sunday, June 2, 2024.

 

That female was later identified as MOUTON.

 

The disgusting video showed MOUTON and TYLER walking behind Sebastian West End Seafood; MOUTON was carrying a puppy and another was following her. She opened the dumpster, threw the puppy she was carrying into it, then grabbed the other puppy and threw him/her in too.

 

MOUTON and TYLER then walked away as if they had just dumped trash.

 

Officials said the puppies were found after a resident heard barking and after checking their surveillance camera, they saw what MOTON did. The puppies were in the dumpster for hours before they were found. Animal Control responded to the scene but the resident is caring for the furvictims. 

 

On June 3, 2024, MOUTON and TYLER were arrested on two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals charges.

 

At the time of writing, records show that MOUTON is being held into the St. Landry Parish Jail.

CHRISTINA J. HELM arrested for neglecting and abusing her dog

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Illinois, USA -

 

The Naperville Police Department arrested 32-year-old CHRISTINA J. HELM (pictured).

 

According to the Department’s media release, it all started back in October 2023, when a concerned citizen alerted Animal Control to “a case of potential animal abuse” at HELM’s apartment in the 100 block of Testa Drive.

 

The tipster explained that they had agreed to take care of HELM’s dog, a female Pitbull mix named Olive, while she was on a business trip.

 

Police said Olive was emaciated and could barely walk. Additionally, she had open sores on her hip bone. Olive was immediately taken to an emergency veterinary hospital where she was treated for starvation and dehydration. Veterinarians said the sores likely happened by having the furvictim caged in one position too long.

 

Naperville Police launched an investigation and as a result, Detectives and Crime Scene Technicians executed a search warrant at HELM’s residence where they found “evidence of alleged animal abuse”, stated the release.

 

On May 23, 2024, an arrest warrant was issued for HELM and she turned herself into the police on May 28, 2024.

HELM was booked into the DuPage County Jail on three felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and three misdemeanor counts of violations of owner’s duties.

HELM is also facing one misdemeanor count of endangering the life or health of a child “for allegedly committing aggravated animal cruelty to an animal that resided in the same residence as a minor”, said police.

 

Judge Joshua Dieden ordered HELM to be released on the condition that she does not have any animals. Court records show that HELM is due back in court on June 24, 2024, at 9:30 a.m.

 

As for Olive, she thankfully recovered and was first placed in the care of a shelter and later adopted.

 

I requested pictures of Olive and if I receive them, I will add them to the article.
