GABRIEL MOORE accused of intentionally burning and raping his dog

On August 9, 2023, the Nebraska Humane Society (NHS) was called to the City View Apartments in Omaha to check on the well-being of a dog.

 

The dog’s guardian, 35-year-old GABRIEL MOORE (pictured), had recently been arrested and it was reported that no one was there to care for the dog.

 

Officials made contact with MOORE at the Douglas County Department of Corrections and he gave NHS permission to check on the dog and asked that the dog be euthanized.

 

An officer with the NHS then went to MOORE’s apartment and found a female Labrador mix.

The officer noted that the dog had skin condition and several areas were missing fur.

The officer took the Voiceless Victim to the NHS where she was evaluated by medical staff.

Veterinarians identified what appeared to be 2nd degree burns in various stages of healing and explained that the burns were consistent with “thermal burns.”

 

The dog also had injuries consistent with her ears and tail being “repeatedly grabbed and pulled with force.”

 

Veterinarians took skin swabs of the burns and, because of MOORE’s recent arrest on suspicion of sexual assault, they also collected a vaginal swab from the dog.

 

The samples from the burns detected the presence of hydroquinone. A search warrant executed at MOORE’s apartment led to the discovery of multiple aerosol cans, cigarette lighters, and butane torches.

 

Human male DNA was present in the vaginal swab, indicating that the defenseless soul was raped while in MOORE’s care.

 

The NHS requested an arrest warrant for Animal Abuse a felony; the Douglas County Attorney's Office also charged MOORE with Indecency With an Animal a misdemeanor.

The intentional cruelty charge carries up to three years in prison with no mandatory minimum. Indecency with an animal charge carries a maximum of three months in jail and a $500 fine, a f_ _ king joke!

 

MOORE is currently being held on a $150,000 bond.

 

I learned from the Douglas County Attorney’s Office that the dog, whom they referred to as Preacher, “is doing great! ……she made a full recovery and was adopted out to someone else.”

CASSIDY GILL, former employee of Hollywood Pets, arrested after video showed her abusing dogs

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Virginia, USA -

 

The Danville Police Department announced the arrest of 22-year-old CASSIDY GILL (pictured), of Roxboro, North Carolina.

 

The arrest follows a distressing video that was recorded by a former employee of Hollywood Pets on Hairston Street in Danville and showed GILL, who was also employed at Hollywood Pets, hitting dogs and cursing at them.

 

In a media release, police said that the incidents took place in January and February 2024, but they became aware of them on May 9, 2024, leading Animal Control to launch an investigation.

 

The owner of Hollywood Pets, Derek Holley, wrote in a Facebook post:

“Dear Customers,

In light of recent videos being circulated on social media I would like to shed some insight to best of my ability and be as transparent as possible.

I received the videos on Friday, April 26th from PETA. After reviewing them I spoke with the employee involved first thing on her next scheduled work day Monday April 29th. At this time her employment was terminated immediately !  Apparently the videos had been recorded some time ago but were not presented to me when the incidents occurred. Only after our previous groomer ( who captured the videos  )  was terminated on April 15th  did she decide it was in her best interest to release them to PETA. The withholding of evidence of inexcusable behavior by a fellow employee to me is almost as reprehensible as the act itself.  In addition, the installment of video surveillance cameras has been scheduled which will provide me with constant monitoring of all grooming activities in the future. 

We deeply regret any of this occurred and I assure you these were isolated incidents . We have served Danville and the surrounding areas for 16 years and our reputation is excellent. I have spoken with numerous customers about the situation and they have been very supportive. For this we thank you ! 

In conclusion , I stand by and have full trust in the current staff here at Hollywood Pets , especially our new groomer Sydney Bayless, who started on April 29th ! I am available to try and answer any and all questions for our current customers regarding my handling of these events.”

 

ABC13 interviewed the former employee who recorded GILL abusing and mistreating the defenseless dogs. She explained that she told the owner several times that she saw employees abusing dogs and that she recorded the videos to have concrete proof.

 

She told ABC13: “Whether it was the owner of Hollywood Pets or anyone else to show that I was telling the truth and I was witnessing animal abuse.” She also said: “He was aware of three cases that I brought to his attention that staff were hitting dogs. He only fired the one staff member (Gill) after PETA reached out to him with the videos.”

 

According to ABC13, the former employee was fired from Hollywood Pets on April 15, 2024, and reports: “She says by speaking out, that she's just trying to do the right thing.”

 

On May 10, 2024, Animal Control and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit arrested GILL and charged her with animal cruelty. Police say no other criminal charges are expected.

ANTHONY DREW CHURCH arrested – A puppy tested positive for cocaine and twenty-six dogs removed

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- North Carolina, USA -

 

The Davie County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 26-year-old ANTHONY DREW CHURCH (pictured).

 

According to a press release by the sheriff’s office, on April 23, 2024, Animal Services received information that a puppy had been seen by an emergency vet in Winston-Salem for diarrhea and vomiting. According to the vet, a toxicology screen was positive for cocaine, THC, and [benzodiazepine].

 

The sheriff’s office tells me the puppy is a female Pitbull mix, she is 20 weeks old, and is doing well.

 

The following day, April 24, 2024, Davie County Sheriff Office’s Animal Services Division served a search warrant at a residence on 178 Wall Street in Mocksville.

 

The search led to the discovery and removal of twenty-six (26) dogs, “mostly nursing puppies and mothers”, stated the release.

 

CHURCH was arrested and charged with one felony count of cruelty to animals, one felony count of possession of cocaine, and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

He received an unsecured bond of $5,000.

 

The sheriff’s office further told me that CHURCH’s next court appearance at Davie County District court is set for “…….Monday of next week where the county will ask for the dogs to be turned over to us so they can be adopted.”

 

The investigation is ongoing.
