LAURA LYNN REED arrested after fifteen cats were found dead in her freezer

- Maryland, USA -

 

The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office arrested 50-year-old LAURA LYNN REED (pictured).

 

An investigation into REED was launched on August 21, 2024, after deputies along with Animal Control received an anonymous tip regarding severe animal neglect at REED’s home on 27180 Morganza Turner Road in Mechanicsville.

 

At REED’s home, authorities found twenty-six (26) living animals, cats and dogs, amidst overwhelming filth.

According to the report, the floors were covered in urine and feces. Many of the animals were found in poor health showing signs of skin infections, untreated fur conditions, and malnutrition.

 

Sadly, officers also discovered fifteen (15) dead cats. Some of them were found rotting inside a freezer.

Animal Control Officer Welch reported that these cats had been wrapped in pillowcases and covered in feces, with some showing signs of trauma from possible attacks by other animals.

 

According to officials, there were no visible food or water bowls for the poor animals.

 

Officers determined that an urgent veterinary response was required due to the animals’ exposure to extreme neglect.

 

After examining all the animals, Dr. Tammy Colson-Dorsch, a volunteer veterinarian for the St. Mary’s County Animal Shelter, determined that they all required immediate medical attention.

 

St. Mary’s County Emergency Services Hazmat deemed the residence unsafe due to high ammonia levels, accumulated from animal waste.

 

REED is facing fifteen counts of animal cruelty. She is scheduled to appear in St. Mary’s County District Court on December 3, 2024.

JAMAL ALI MOORE facing felony charges for allowing three of his dogs to die from starvation

- North Carolina, USA -

 

~ Update: October 23, 2024

 

I heard back from the Lexington Police Department and I learned that the two furvictims who were found deceased at the home were one female puppy and a male puppy.

 

The furvictim who died at the shelter was a female puppy.

 

The two puppies who survived are a female and a male and the name of the adult female dog is Chino.

 

I had requested pictures and additional information but at this time no more details are available.

 

 

~ Original story:


On the afternoon of October 10, 2024, officers with the Lexington Police Department were dispatched to a home on 308 Williamson Street after receiving a report of a dead dog in the backyard.

 

Upon arrival, officers found the dead dog inside of a small, enclosed fence. But the poor soul was not the only one. In fact, there were a total of five dogs inside of the enclosed fence, including another dead dog. All of the furvictims were removed and taken to the Davidson County Animal Shelter.  A third dog who was taken from the home later died while at the animal shelter.

 

On the morning of October 18, 2024, police arrested 48-year-old JAMAL ALI MOORE (pictured) and charged him with five counts of animal abandonment, three felony counts of killing an animal by starvation, and two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.

 

The following day, police returned to the home at approximately 3:00 a.m. and executed a search warrant. Officials discovered an additional dog inside the home who was removed under the search warrant and was taken to the Davidson County Animal Shelter.

 

At the time of writing, records show that MOORE was released from the Davidson County Jail and is slated to appear in Lexington District Court on November 14, 2024.

 

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

FLOYD TARAIL MEEKS III arrested for starving innocent animals – One dog found dead

Updated: Oct 13, 2024

- North Carolina, USA -

 

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office arrested 31-year-old FLOYD TARAIL MEEKS III (pictured).

 

According to the press release obtained by Voice For Us, on October 9, 2024, deputies were called to assist Wake County Animal Control at a residence in the 4000 block of Edgemont Road, near Wendell in reference to an animal cruelty case.

 

Upon arrival, deputies found a malnourished cat, three malnourished dogs, and sadly a dead dog.

 

Animal Control removed all of the Voiceless Victims from the residence and deputies arrested  MEEKS.

MEEKS was booked into the Wake County Jail on one felony count of killing an animal by starvation and one misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals.

 

The sheriff’s office said the investigation is ongoing and there are no additional details at this time.

 

I have emailed Animal Control to inquire about all the furvictims. If I get a response, I will post an update.

 

I took the liberty to name the deceased dog Wiggles for the tribute image.
