BOBBY LEE WATSON arrested after six dogs were found chained up, injured, and malnourished

- North Carolina, USA -


The Gaston County Police Department made an arrest in reference to an animal cruelty case that occurred last month.


On October 3, 2024, Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement responded to a home on 2106 Withers Street in Gastonia where officials found six dogs chained up. Police said in a press release that all the furvictims appeared to be “severely malnourished with multiple injuries.”


All the dogs were removed and according to police, they are “with a rescue organization which is providing comprehensive care for them, focusing on socialization and meeting their general needs to support their well-being and development.”


As the investigation progressed, on November 26, 2024, police arrested 49-year-old BOBBY LEE WATSON (pictured).

WATSON was charged with six counts of animal cruelty and booked into the Gaston County Jail. He was released after posting a $100,000 bond.


Police did not release any additional information about the dogs, so I emailed the Department as well as Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement. If I get a response, I will post an update.

LUKE DANIEL ADAMS arrested for shooting his dog with a crossbow

- Florida, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains pictures some of you may find distressing⚠️


On the night of November 29, 2024, deputies with the Citrus County Sheriff's Office responded to a residence on West Oak Street in Crystal River after receiving reports about a violent individual identified as 25-year-old LUKE DANIEL ADAMS (pictured).


According to the press release by the sheriff’s office, deputies learned that ADAMS “had shot his dog in the back of the neck with a crossbow in a wooded area behind his home. After shooting the dog, he ripped out the arrow but left the tip embedded in the wound. He then placed his injured dog in the front seat of his truck and went inside his house.”


A resident saw the injured furvictim in the truck and thankfully alerted the authorities.


The Citrus County Sheriff's Office tells me that the furvictim was a female mixed breed “Florida Brown Dog” of 6-7 years old named Nova. Nova had been with ADAMS for six years.


Citrus County Animal Control rushed Nova to the Countryside Animal Clinic in Beverly Hills for immediate treatment.

The sheriff’s office said that veterinarians “worked tirelessly for hours to provide care and comfort” but the extent of Nova’s injury was “too great” and despite “the valiant efforts of emergency veterinarians” Nova could not be saved.


The sheriff’s office also kindly provided me with Nova’s pictures and explained: “The photo with the hemostats is used to show the depth in which the arrowhead was buried in the dogs neck.”


ADAMS was charged with one felony count of animal cruelty and at the time of writing, online arrest records show that he is being held into the Citrus County Jail.


“This heartbreaking loss underscores the urgent need to report and prevent animal abuse to protect those who cannot protect themselves”, said the sheriff’s office.

ADAM HOWARD facing charges after his dog jumped out of his moving truck and was fatally hit by a car

- Vermont, USA -


On November 29, 2024, Vermont State Police received several calls about a dog who had jumped out of the bed of a moving pickup truck on Interstate 89, Hartford.


In a press release, police identified the furvictim as a 5-year-old German Shepherd named Ace and the driver of the pickup truck as 33-year-old ADAM HOWARD, of Leicester, N.C..


Police said that Ace “was tethered in a way that was detrimental to his welfare.” Ace was improperly leashed in the bed of the pickup truck and slipped out his collar.

The furvictim jumped out of the truck onto the highway and traffic came to a near standstill as motorists attempted to rescue him. Ace was struck by a vehicle in the southbound lane.


While all this was happening, HOWARD kept driving.


A Good Samaritan took Ace to Small Animal Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (SAVES) in Lebanon, N.H. where he sadly succumbed to his injuries.


With the description of HOWARD’s truck, police reached out to the community for information in the hope of finding him, and eventually Troopers were able to make contact.

HOWARD claimed that he was unaware that Ace had jumped out.


HOWARD was charged with animal cruelty and disorderly conduct. He was cited to appear in Windsor County Superior Court in Woodstock on December 31, 2024, to face the charges.
