REWARD offered for information after a dog was stabbed seventeen times in Nassau County

- New York, USA -

 

The Nassau County SPCA is offering a reward for information after an innocent and defenseless dog was stabbed seventeen (17) times!

 

Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly held a press conference on Thursday, December 28, 2023, during which she recounted the facts of this horrific case.

 

On November 27, 2023, a roughly 2-year-old male Pitbull Terrier mix was found bleeding profusely on Washburn Avenue in Freeport, Long Island. Thankfully, a woman who lives there spotted him and took him to the animal shelter Bobbi and the Strays. Staff explained that given the seriousness of the injuries he sustained, the Voiceless Victim could not be treated at their facility so the woman rushed him to the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. Vets took on the furvictim, named him Cornell, and transferred him to an emergency veterinarian in Farmingdale.

 

DA Donnelly explained that some of Cornell’s stab wounds caused him to sustain collapsed lungs, causing them to leak air. She said that during the treatment, Cornell’s lungs had to be drained “a number of times.”

 

Authorities are now reaching out to the public for information that will lead to the prosecution of the vile individual(s) who did this to a defenseless dog.

As DA Donnelly said: “We need to know what happened to this dog.”

 

She went on to say: “If you have seen Cornell being walked down the street in your neighborhood. If you’ve seen Cornell in someone’s backyard. If you’ve been anywhere where you think you have seen this dog, I ask you to call my Animal Crimes Hotline.”

 

Cornell cannot tell us who did this to him. Cornell could not dial 911 to report what happened to him, he had to rely on a Good Samaritan to rescue him.

If you know who the monster is, I beg you to come forward and call the DA’s Office Animal Crimes Hotline at (516) - 571 - 7755. Thank you!

- New York, USA -


On Sunday, December 10, 2023, the Nassau County Police Department arrested 21-years-old ANDREW LAURENDI (pictured).

 

According to a press release obtained by Voice For Us, LAURENDI was fired from his job as a dog day care worker at Pawllywood on 30 E. Chestnut Street in Massapequa after he was caught on video swinging a few dogs over his head while the furbabies were still on a leash.

 

Police said footage showed that after swinging the helpless dogs by the leash, LAURENDI then let the leash go and the dogs fell to the ground. LAURENDI then proceeded to smash the face of one of the dogs into a fence several times.

According to police, one of the dogs “suffered a serious physical injury.”

 

LAURENDI, of 553 Central Avenue Massapequa, was charged with Animal Cruelty and Torturing or Injuring an Animal/Failure to Provide Sustenance. He was issued an Appearance

Ticket returnable on Thursday, December 21, 2023 and will be arraigned in First

Police did not disclose additional information about the furvictims.

 

NBC New York reports that NASSAU SPCA went to LAURENDI’s home to check on his dogs but LAURENDI never opened the door.

ALICIA A. WRIGHT, CORY JOHN DISANTO, AMY E. WALKER, and her husband ROBERT M. WALKER arrested

- New York, USA -


On Monday, December 4, 2023, the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office arrested 36-years-old ALICIA A. WRIGHT (pictured via Facebook), 37-years-old CORY JOHN DISANTO (pictured via Facebook), 54-years-old AMY E. WALKER, and her husband 60-years-old ROBERT M. WALKER.


The sheriff’s office along with the Ontario County Humane Society launched an investigation on November 24, 2023, after receiving a complaint about a property on 1074 Cress Road in Phelps.

The investigation led to the discovery of a deceased dog behind the property.


The sheriff's office said the dog, a 3-year-old Dogo Argentino named Covid, was found wrapped in a blanket several yards from a makeshift kennel, in a wooded area.


The Voiceless Victim was taken to the Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center, where a necropsy was performed. Results showed that the furvictim died from starvation.


The sheriff’s office said all four individuals were aware of the furbaby’s situation even if DISANTO moved out before the investigation began. All four were charged with a felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal.


Five other dogs were found inside the property and removed. Veterinary staff at the Ontario County Humane Society examined them and found them to be healthy.


DISANTO was taken to the Ontario County Jail for arraignment, while the others were issued an appearance ticket to appear in Phelps Town Court at a later date.
