SHANNON MCMAHON arrested after her dog was found severely emaciated

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- New York, USA -

 

The Putnam County SPCA announced the arrest of 42-year-old SHANNON MCMAHON.

 

In a Facebook post the organization said that on the evening of June 23, 2024, the Town of Kent Police Department contacted them and asked them to respond to a residence on Chief Nimham Drive regarding a dog who was severely emaciated.

 

Police had been dispatched to that address in reference to a dispute between landlord and tenant and while on the scene, officers observed an 8-year-old female Catahoula Leopard mix, “in a state of severe emaciation.”

 

After the SPCA was alerted, detectives and the Town of Kent Dog Control also responded to the scene.

 

SPCA detectives removed the dog, named Abby, and Kent Dog Control Officer Madsen took her to Guardian Veterinary Specialists in Brewster to be examined.

 

Veterinarians found Abby to weigh only 21 pounds with a body condition score of 1/9. If Abby had been healthy, she would have weighed around 40 to 50 pounds with a body condition score of 5/9.

 

Tests run on the furvictim showed she starved as result of lack of proper feeding.

 

Putnam County SPCA Detectives arrested Abby’s guardian, MCMAHON, for misdemeanor animal cruelty and processed her at the Town of Kent Police Department.

 

After being arraigned at Kent Town Court she was released without bail.

MCMAHON’s next court date was scheduled for July 11, 2024.

If convicted, MCMAHON faces a maximum year’s incarceration in a county jail in addition to fines of up to $1,000. A joke!

CLEOPATRA MORGAN arrested for throwing her small dog off a ledge

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- New York, USA -

 

Prompt and decisive intervention, siren on, rushing through traffic, topped up with love, hope, and determination saved a very precious life!

 

On the afternoon of May 16, 2024, NYPD officers from the 33 precinct responded to Highbridge Park at W. 165th Street and Edgecombe Avenue in Washington Heights after receiving a call about a puppy who was bleeding from the mouth.

 

Upon arrival, officers learned that 26-year-old CLEOPATRA MORGAN threw her dog and then dialed 911. The furvictim is a 1-year-old mini-Poodle named Rocket.

 

A distressing bodycam video posted on X by NYPD NEWS shows that while police were placing MORGAN under arrest, Officer Kelsey Garcia took Rocket off her and started cradling him while crying.

 

One of the officers can be heard asking Officer Garcia: “Kelsey, is the dog gonna live?”

 

“No”, she answered. “He needs to go to the doctor”, she struggled to say as she was crying and stammering.

 

With Lieutenant Vincent Caprino behind the wheel, Officer Garcia at the front holding Rocket, and Officer Joseph Oshea at the back, Rocket made it to the ASPCA Animal Hospital.

 

According to the statement by the ASPCA provided to Voice For Us, Rocket arrived “in critical condition”.

 

The statement goes on to say:

“Sadly, he had signs of a traumatic brain injury, was in shock, and his blood pressure and heart rate were very unstable. When Rocket arrived at our facility, he was also bleeding from his mouth and was found to have a fractured femur. Rocket was immediately treated with various types of intravenous fluids to address his traumatic brain injury and shock and was given pain medication. He was ultimately transferred to the Animal Medical Center (AMC), an ASPCA veterinary partner, so he could receive expert care from their critical care and neurology specialists. AMC diagnosed Rocket with a [hemiabdomen], meaning that he was bleeding into his belly, and he received an emergency blood transfusion. Once he was stable enough to undergo anesthesia, Rocket was transferred back to the ASPCA where his left femur fracture was surgically repaired. Rocket will remain in the ASPCA’s care as he continues to receive treatment for very serious injuries. He has a long road to recovery, and we’re doing everything we can to help him. It is thanks to the quick action of the NYPD officers who came to his rescue, and the expert care of ASPCA and AMC veterinary professionals, that Rocket is still with us today.”

 

MORGAN, whose face was blurred, told police that she “snapped”. The evil female is facing charges of aggravated cruelty to an animal, torture injury to an animal, criminal possession of a weapon, and false impersonation because she gave a false name when identifying herself with the authorities.

 

Court records show MORGAN is due at New York Criminal Court on June 26, 2024.

EVADNE HARRINGTON facing charges after her emaciated dog was found chained and soaked in urine

Updated: Apr 25, 2024

- New York, USA -

 

On the afternoon of December 21, 2023, police from the 101st Precinct in Far Rockaway responded to a request for medical aid at an apartment on Seagirt Boulevard.

 

Officers found a black and white, mixed-breed female dog named Puddin in a corner.

According to a press release by the Queens County District Attorney’s Office, “Puddin was tied to a box-like structure with a chain of approximately six inches, making it impossible for her to move freely.”

A collar-shaped metal device was fastened around Puddin’s neck and face, secured by a padlock.

 

There was no food or water near Puddin, nor dog food in the apartment. “Puddin was emaciated, her spine, ribs and hipbones protruding”, stated the release. Puddin’s coat was damp with urine, patchy, and covered in dirt and dander. 

 

Officers used bolt cutters to remove the padlocked collar and once Puddin was finally free to move, “she immediately ran to the bathroom and drank water from the toilet”, said District Attorney Melinda Katz.

 

Officers then noticed a thickened scar with scabbing across the top of Puddin’s muzzle.

 

Puddin’s guardian, 41-years-old EVADNE HARRINGTON, gave officers permission to take the Voiceless Victim in for veterinary treatment and relinquished ownership of Puddin to the ASPCA.

 

When Puddin arrived at the non-profit’s Animal Recovery Center, she was emaciated and dehydrated. Pudding required intensive treatment for a slew of medical conditions, including widespread skin infections, hair loss, and various injuries.

 

The good news is that after Puddin’s condition improved, she was placed with a foster family and is now available for adoption.   

 

On March 25, 2024, HARRINGTON was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on charges of overdriving; torturing, and injuring animals/failure to provide sustenance; and failure to provide proper food and drink to an impounded animal.

If convicted, HARRINGTON faces up to ONLY a year in jail, a joke!!!!

Queens Criminal Court Judge Jeffrey Gershuny ordered her to return to court on July 1, 202, at 9:00 a.m.

 

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement: “The abuse of voiceless, defenseless creatures is unconscionable. Puddin thankfully was rescued from her miserable circumstances. We look forward to holding her abuser accountable.”
