LAQUENTA REYNOLDS, who was running a dog rescue out of her home, arrested for animal abuse

- California, USA -


An investigation into reports of animal abuse led the California City Police Department to the arrest of 47-year-old LAQUENTA REYNOLDS (pictured via Facebook).


In a press release, police said that for over a month they have been actively investigating REYNOLDS after they were alerted to several dogs being kept in poor condition in the garage of REYNOLDS’ home on 20621 94th Street in California City.


On January 7, 2025, officers along with Animal Control went to REYNOLDS’ home out of which she was operating a dog rescue called “Pawfect Companions”.


According to the press release, REYNOLDS allowed officers to enter her garage where they found fifteen dogs who were being kept in metal crates. Police said many of the dogs appeared to be emaciated and had “apparent wounds on their extremities.”


All of the fifteen dogs were removed from the property and five of them were taken for emergency veterinarian care.


The investigation determined that the furvictims were suffering from malnutrition, dehydration, and open infected wounds with bacterial and fungal infections. It was further ascertained that the condition of the poor souls was the result of being neglected while in REYNOLDS’ care. REYNOLDS allowed the dogs to suffer needlessly by not providing adequate food or water.


Police said that in view of these findings and new evidence, a search warrant was obtained and executed on January 31, 2025.


Animal Control, police, Code Enforcement, and the Fire Department were all on the scene when the warrant was executed at REYNOLDS’ home.


Officials discovered and removed thirty-three additional dogs. The furvictims were scattered all over the home. Some were found in bedrooms, others in closets, and common areas.

All of the thirty-three Voiceless Victims were taken to “approved and safe animal rescues in California”, said the police.


REYNOLDS was placed under arrest and booked for animal cruelty.

JAIRUS MING SCRADERS arrested for recording himself torturing and abusing a dog

- Georgia, USA -


The Fulton County Police Department arrested 23-year-old JAIRUS MING SCRADERS (pictured), following a search warrant that its Animal Services Division and the SWAT Team executed at a residence on Country Drive in Atlanta.


According to the press release by the police, from an investigation it emerged that SCRADERS “Convicted felon and gang member”, had been recording himself “torturing a dog over the course of the past three months.”


Police said that the last atrocious incident left the furvictim “paralyzed with a fractured skull and multiple other broken bones.” Sadly, due to the extent of the injuries sustained by the defenseless dog, the poor soul had to be euthanized.


According to the police, the residence was in deplorable condition with no running water, limited electricity, and floors covered in urine and feces. Moreover, authorities reported a severe roach and spider infestation.


Three additional dogs were found at the residence and were removed by Animal Services.


The Division of Family and Child Services was also called in as officials found two children living in the residence and the juveniles were subsequently removed.


SCRADERS was taken into custody on two felony warrants for aggravated animal cruelty. Police said that at the time of his arrest, the savage was out on bond for multiple other felonies out of another jurisdiction.


On the scene authorities also arrested 18-year-old AMIRA GREGEANA WILKINS on unrelated felony charges.


Police said: “Animal cruelty is often committed in conjunction with domestic violence, gang activity, and other serious crimes like in this case. The mission of the Fulton County Police Department is to protect and serve our community which includes our animals.”


If it was possible to torture and abuse SCRADERS until there was no more life inside of him, still, it would not be punishment enough for what he did to the poor dog!


Authorities did not disclose the name of the furvictim who had to be euthanized. I took the liberty of naming him/her Fluffy for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
