TROY WILL PIERCE arrested after he allowed three neonatal puppies to freeze to death

- Oklahoma, USA -


The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 74-year-old TROY WILL PIERCE (pictured).


According to the report provided to Voice For Us, on February 20, 2025, a deputy was dispatched to the area of 1722 E. 76th Street N. after receiving an animal cruelty complaint.


The deputy made contact with the reporting party who said that PIERCE's dogs were often roaming the neighborhood and he was concerned for their well-being considering the temperatures had been below freezing with wind chills below zero and the dogs did not have adequate shelter.


The man went on to say that before the deputy responded, he saw PIERCE's dog on his property and when he tried to approach her, she ran away. The man followed her to PIERCE's backyard where he discovered that the dog was nursing six puppies. Sadly, three of the puppies appeared to have frozen to death.


The reporting party then picked up the mama dog and her three surviving babies, took them to his home, and alerted the sheriff’s office.


The deputy then went to talk to PIERCE and showed him a picture of the mama dog that the reporting party had taken at his home.


PIERCE told the deputy that the dog was his son's, but he and his wife had been "in possession of the dog for approximately 4-5 years."


PIERCE went on to tell the deputy that he knew the dog had had puppies and that he had checked on them the night before when he realized that a couple of puppies had passed away but left them outside anyway.


PIERCE took the deputy out to the backyard. The deceased puppies were still there, "in a bare plastic dog house with no warming elements."


The deputy reported that the poor souls appeared to be only a couple of weeks old. He then looked around and saw two more young mixed-breed dogs in a bare doghouse inside a fenced pen. He further reported that all food and water for the furvictims were “frozen solid.”


Tulsa County Animal Control was called in to take possession of the remaining dogs.


PIERCE was arrested on three felony counts of animal cruelty and released after posting a $2,000 bond. He now awaits charges from Tulsa County District Attorney's Office.

YER VANG and CHUE LONG YANG arrested-Hundreds of abused animals removed from a Grady County property

- Oklahoma, USA -


On December 11, 2024, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) assisted the Grady County Sheriff’s Office with the rescue of hundreds of animals from a multi-species cruelty case.


It started out as an investigation that the sheriff’s office launched back in October 2024, into a possible illegal marijuana grow at a property on County Road 1430 in Ninnekah.

Grady County Sheriff Gary Boggess dispatched his narcotic unit but what investigators discovered was a much more distressing reality.


Sheriff Boggess said the approximately four acres property was covered in animals who were all in poor condition.

Cats, companion birds, dogs, fish, goats, and a pig were found to be severely neglected.


Investigators then executed a search and seizure warrant. Responders and veterinarians from Operation Kindness and Black Beauty Ranch, which is a Humane Society of the United States sanctuary, also assisted on-scene.


In a press release, HSUS said that when law enforcement and rescuers arrived on scene, “temperatures were below freezing.” Officials were “greeted by shivering rottweilers, shih tzus and pit bull-type dogs, chained and tethered outdoors with inadequate protection from the elements and no apparent access to food or water.”


Most of the cats and dogs were underweight, with protruding hips and rib bones, and several dogs had untreated injuries.


The press release further stated that the pig had no apparent access to food or water, and the goats had water “but it was frozen solid.”


In an outdoor pool there were over twenty koi, but with the water being so murky, they were not visible to rescuers upon initial inspection. Throughout the property and the garage, officials also found various types of smaller fish.


According to HSUS, “Companion birds including parrots, parakeets and finches were inside a garage in filthy, barren cages with no environmental enrichment. Veterinarians immediately noted one of the parrots had large patches of missing feathers, apparently self-inflicted and likely due to boredom and stress.”


In an outbuilding on the property, officials found caged roosters and hens. More of them were also found in makeshift pens. The HSUS explained that these animals were “identified as gamefowl, a term used to describe birds raised for the purposes of fighting and selectively bred to be aggressive with other birds.”

Veterinarians noted that many of the game fowl were underweight and suffering from apparent neglect.


According to court records, although investigators spent weeks trying to get 38-year-old YER VANG and 41-year-old CHUE LONG YANG (both pictured), to follow a veterinarian’s recommendations, they disregarded the advice.


The cats, companion birds, dogs, fish, goats and the pig were removed from the property and taken to undisclosed locations to receive in-depth veterinary exams and much-needed care.

THE HSUS said that “due to the risk of spreading infectious diseases to commercial flocks and lack of placement options, gamefowl rescued from suspected cockfighting situations typically are not able to be adopted out.” In view of this, sadly, veterinarians on site euthanized the innocent hens and roosters.


VANG and YANG were arrested and charged with eighty-one felony counts of animal cruelty which also include owning birds for fighting. The pair’s five children were taken into state custody and VANG and YANG were additionally charged with child neglect. Sheriff Boggess said more charges are expected.


The duo are due in court in January 2025.

TYLER ANSON WAYMAN arrested for dragging his ex-girlfriend’s dog behind his truck

Updated: Aug 9, 2024

- Oklahoma, USA -

 

The Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office arrested 19-year-old TYLER ANSON WAYMAN (pictured).

 

On June 29, 2024, Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office Lt. J. Hutton, received information from WAYMAN’s ex-girlfriend, whom I will refer to as Ms. T., about wanting to report an animal abuse incident that happened in March, so Lt. Hutton met with her.

 

Ms. T. recounted the facts prior to the incident and said that on March 20, 2024, she and WAYMAN had gone to the lake in the Toppers Area and she brought her dog along. The report obtained by Voice For Us identified the dog as Rebel. The Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office tells me that Rebel is 5 years old.

 

Ms. T. explained to Lt. Hutton that she had taught Rebel how to open water bottles and while in the truck, Rebel opened one and dropped some water in the back seat.

 

WAYMAN and Ms. T. got into an argument and according to her, he was “intoxicated” and when she told him that she wanted to break up with him, he became really angry, told her to get out of the vehicle and “roughly” dragged Rebel out of the vehicle.

 

At that point, WAYMAN tied Rebel’s leash to the tailgate of the truck, got back in the vehicle and began to drive with Rebel tied up. Ms. T. believed Rebel was dragged for about 50 yards. As Rebel was being dragged, Ms. T. chased WAYMAN and yelled at him that Rebel was being pulled so WAYMAN stopped the truck and Ms. T. was able to check on Rebel’s condition.

 

Rebel had blood on her paws,  was whining and limping and could not hold herself up.

According to the report, WAYMAN said: “I am gonna get in so much trouble, your mom is gonna kill me.” He also said: “Just say we forgot about her or just say she jumped out of the truck or something.”

 

WAYMAN then told Ms. T. to get back in the truck and he would check on Rebel. Instead, after she got into the vehicle, he got into it too, and again, he drove with Rebel still tied to the tailgate. At that point, Ms. T. reached over WAYMAN and “forced the truck into the park position, stopping the vehicle”, said the sheriff’s office.

 

That upset WAYMAN who then told Ms. T. that she would “pay for it.”

After Ms. T. repeated that she wanted to break up, WAYMAN drove the truck for about thirty seconds before stopping.

 

Ms. T. called some relatives and  they took Rebel to Pryor Veterinary Hospital South in Wagoner. WAYMAN went along and Ms. T. lied about what happened to Rebel because WAYMAN had asked her to and she was afraid of what he might do if she told the truth. So, Ms. T. told the vet that Rebel had jumped out of the truck.

The vet told Ms. T. that Rebel’s injuries were more consistent with being dragged due to the “road burns.”

 

When Lt. Hutton asked Ms. T. why she waited so long to report the abuse, she answered that she feared any retribution. At that point, Lt. Hutton reached out to a Wagoner County Investigator for assistance.

 

The investigator went to the location where the incident took place, took photographs, and measurements of the area. As reported in the press release by the sheriff’s office, “It was determined by an Investigator that the dog had been dragged a significant distance before being untied and put back into the vehicle.”

 

Following these findings, an arrest warrant was filed with the Wagoner County District Attorney’s Office against WAYMAN for felony cruelty to animals which was issued on July 23, 2024.

 

WAYMAN turned himself into the Wagoner County Detention Center on August 6, 2024, and was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

 

Court records show that WAYMAN will be arraigned on September 25, 2024, at 10:30 a.m.
