QUENTIN GAJUAN CALHOUN-POPE arrested after a dog was found dead in the backyard of a Lynchburg home

- Virginia, USA -

 

On September 27, 2024, the Lynchburg Police Department’s Animal Control Unit responded to a residence in the 1500 Block of Bedford Avenue to investigate a call regarding a deceased dog in the backyard of the residence.

 

Responding officers found the deceased dog and subsequently applied for a search warrant to conduct a thorough investigation of the property.

 

Upon execution of the search warrant, the deceased dog was removed and a necropsy was performed to determine the cause of death. According to the media release by the Lynchburg Police Department results “provided critical evidence in the case” but did not elaborate on that.

 

As a result of the investigation, on October 11, 2024, police arrested 28-year-old QUENTIN GAJUAN CALHOUN-POPE (pictured).

 

CALHOUN-POPE  was charged with felony animal cruelty and booked into the Blue Ridge Regional Jail.

At the time of writing, online records show that CALHOUN-POPE was released after posting bond.

 

Police did not disclose additional information about the furvictim, so I emailed them to learn more. In an email, I was told: “Currently, it's still an active and ongoing criminal investigation, and we are unable to provide details beyond what we have shared in the original news release.”

 

Lynchburg Police ask anyone who has information about this incident to contact the department at (434) - 455 - 6050, or Crime Stoppers at (888) - 798 - 5900. Thank you!

 

I took the liberty of naming the furvictim Sprinkles for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

IRENE LIMA and CHAD KABECZ arrested for torturing and murdering innocent cats and posting videos

- Canada -

 

In August 2024, the Winnipeg Police Service received a report from the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian Animal Welfare regarding pictures and videos depicting animals being tortured and killed and that were being posted on the dark web.

 

The animal torture content was posted online between May and August.

 

Public Information Officer Constable Stephen Spencer said during a press conference that approximately ten cats were believed to be involved and some of them “were acquired from social media selling platforms.”

 

Members of the East District Community Support Team launched an investigation that led to the execution of a search warrant at a home in the Lord Roberts area of south Winnipeg.

 

Investigators uncovered and seized evidence of animal cruelty. They located ten cats and a rabbit, and two suspects were arrested. They said no animals were found alive.

 

According to a press release by the Winnipeg Police Service, 55-year-old IRENE LIMA and 40-year-old CHAD KABECZ, both of Winnipeg, were arrested and remain in custody.

 

LIMA and KABECZ were charged with:

 

• Killing or Injuring Animals

• Causing unnecessary suffering to an animal

• Fail to provide adequate medical attention for an animal when it is wounded or ill

• Inflict upon an animal acute suffering, serious injury or harm, or extreme anxiety or distress that significantly impairs its health or well-being

 

Constable Spencer said the pair were known to police but declined to elaborate on that. He did not have information on how LIMA and KABECZ knew each other.

 

He also said: “Investigators told me that this is the worst case that they’ve dealt with — a very horrible case involving animal cruelty,” and added: “I can say anecdotally when individuals are believed to be involved in heinous crimes against helpless animals, it often leads to escalating violent behavior towards humans, so we take that very seriously.”

 

Police in Winnipeg have also been investigating cases of cats being found dead in the Point Douglas area, but Constable Spencer said investigators do not believe the cases are related at this time.

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.
