TAMMY PATTERSON arrested after several animals were found in filthy conditions without food or water

- Georgia, USA -


On April 12, 2023, the Blakely Police Department was alerted to a case of possible animal abuse at a residence on South Church Street in Blakely and an investigation was launched.


In a news release, the Blakely Police Department said that officers “gathered supporting evidence of several dogs being kept in unsanitary conditions, illegally tethered, and with inadequate shelter, food and water sources.”


While a local volunteer assisted Blakely Police on site in caring for the furvictims, the Atlanta Humane Society was contacted for further assistance.


In a post published on their Facebook page, the Atlanta Humane Society explained that its Animal Protection Unit responded to the scene and found eighteen animals “living in filth.”


“They were helpless … left outside … chained to the sides of the house and to trees in the yard with no access to food or water. When we walked inside the house we found 8 cats locked inside a windowless bedroom. There wasn’t a single litter box in sight … only dirty newspapers”, read part of the post.

The nonprofit further said that its veterinarian “lovingly assessed each animal and provided them with much-needed medical care.”


According to police, “All of the dogs now have new homes or have arrangements for new homes.” As for the cats, “arrangements were made for their care and shelter at another location.”


In connection with this case police arrested 60-years-old TAMMY PATTERSON (pictured), of Blakely. PATTERSON was taken into custody on April 14, 2023, and booked into the Early County Jail on eight counts of Cruelty to Animals.


Police said PATTERSON surrendered all the animals.

JAYMARION JAKLEEM LAWTON, WANYA MARQUESE SANDS, and ANDREW JERMAINE JACKSON III doused cat in acid

- Florida, USA -


The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that on April 5, 2023, Detective Cauley and Detective Wenrick served 19-years-old JAYMARION JAKLEEM LAWTON (pictured), with a search warrant for his cell phone.

Upon inspection of the device, in the saved videos investigators found “an eight-minute video recording of an individual pouring Liquid Fire (Sulfuric Acid used to unclog drains) onto a household cat closed within an animal trap.”


This gut-wrenching discovery led detectives to investigate the incident.

From an investigation it emerged that the incident happened on February 14, 2023, in the 300 block of Northeast 17th Avenue in Okeechobee County.

Detectives learned that LAWTON recorded the video on his phone while 21-years-old ANDREW JERMAINE JACKSON III (also pictured), “was identified as the second person recording the incident.” According to the release, 22-years-old WANYA MARQUESE SANDS (also pictured), “was identified as the subject who was seen on the video pouring the Liquid Fire onto the cat's body and head numerous times throughout the 8-minute video.”


The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office chose to not publish the distressing video in its entirety.

The video posted in the comments section has the duration of approximately a minute and it is sufficiently sickening! The evil individuals can be heard laughing while they are perpetrating senseless abuse on a creature unable to fight back. Not only that, after pouring the acid, two of them can be seen teasing the furbaby with a stick. The cat, unable to escape, is visibly nervous and terrified.


On April 11, 2023, investigators located SANDS and questioned him. While he was being interviewed, SANDS “began to flee on foot from the detectives.” Eventually, SANDS “was tackled and taken into custody.”

SANDS is facing aggravated animal cruelty and resisting arrest charges.


LAWTON, who was in custody from the search warrant and those charges, was arrested for accessory after the fact to a level five third-degree felony and aggravated animal cruelty.


The sheriff’s office said that after realizing the detectives had probable cause for his arrest, JACKSON turned himself into the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office and was arrested for accessory after the fact to a level five third-degree felony and aggravated animal cruelty.


As for the only victim of this heinous crime, the sheriff’s office said that at this time his/her whereabouts are unknown. According to the sheriff’s office, it was reported that the cat “was let out of the cage and ran away.”


Okeechobee County Animal Control was also contacted “and there were no reports of cats being turned in for refuge.”

As stated in the release, Animal Control “reports they did not receive any cats from February to the present date showing any signs of chemical burns which would have been the result of the Liquid Fire being poured onto the cat.”


Online records show that only LAWTON is in custody!


Just think, the incident happened on February 14, a day on which most people choose to display love and care. Instead, these three useless individuals chose to display barbaric and evil behavior!


Any comment aimed at the defense or justification of these three evil individuals’ actions will be deleted and the author banned!

Under NO circumstances I will allow despicable acts inflicted upon innocent, defenseless, and helpless souls to be defended!

Animals CANNOT defend themselves so expect me to do it for them!

LYNN LEONARD charged after dozens of live and dead animals were found in her pickup truck

- New Jersey, USA -


On the afternoon of Monday, April 10, 2023, New Jersey State Police said they were called to the parking lot of the Sussex County Mall on Route 206.

Near Marshalls Department Store, responding troopers found a Chevy Silverado pick-up truck that had live and deceased animals inside.


Troopers found approximately forty cats and dogs and a dozen more in three crates in the bed of the truck.

An inspection of the vehicle also led to the discovery of several trash bags in the bed of the truck with more than thirty dead cats and dogs.


News 12 reports that “The dead animals were found in bags and in tins. They were methodically wrapped and preserved.”


Animal control officers and a veterinarian were called in to check the live animals. Meanwhile, 53-years-old LYNN LEONARD, of Bloxom, Virginia, returned to the vehicle and was immediately placed under arrest.

LEONARD was charged with animal cruelty and released pending a future court date.


Rescue organizations such as 11th Hour Animal Rescue, Blairstown Animal Hospital, Newton Animal Hospital, and the Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad (BARKS) also responded to the scene to assist with the removal of the animals.


Through a Facebook post, BARKS advised that they took in two cats, three kittens, and one dog and said: “The animals are all very sweet but filthy and hungry.”


Jaime Hall, of 11th Hour Rescue, told News 12: “Just feces everywhere. The smell was horrific. It was what looked like a rundown pickup truck. There [were] feces, kibble, shoes, coats, random stuff. It looked like almost someone lived in the pickup truck. She had had her deceased pets in her freezer, and she decided to put them in the back of her truck because she wanted to move them to her new home.”


Police said the case remains under investigation.
