~ Update: December 3, 2024


On Monday, December 2, 2024, 27-year-old ALLEXIS TELIA FERRELL (pictured), pleaded guilty to a felony charge of animal cruelty and Stark Country Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione sentenced her to one year behind bars.


Quoting the Massillon Independent, the New York Post reports that Judge Forchione told FERRELL: “To me, you present quite a danger to our community. This is repulsive to me. I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. And an animal’s like a child. I don’t know if you understand that or not. I can’t express the disappointment, shock, disgust that this crime has brought to me. You’ve embarrassed this county. You’ve embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you’ve embarrassed yourself.”


On Monday, FERRELL was also sentenced on probation violations in two prior cases, which were triggered by the animal cruelty case.


In April 2023, FERRELL was sentenced to three-year-probation on a felony count of endangering children. Due to the new conviction, FERRELL will now serve an additional eighteen (18) months in prison on those charges, for a total sentence of thirty (30) months.


Additionally, FERRELL was resentenced to six (6) months in prison on charges of theft and misuse of credit cards, to which she originally pleaded guilty in October 2019. FERRELL drew a six-month sentence which will be served concurrent with her other cases.


~ Original story:


27-year-old ALLEXIS TELIA FERRELL (pictured), is scheduled to appear at Stark County Common Pleas Court on October 15, 2024, at 8:00 a.m.

 

Charging documents obtained by Voice For Us accuse FERRELL, society’s vomit, of killing a cat by stomping on his/her small head and then eating the creature.

 

According to the investigative report by the Canton Police Department, on the late evening of August 16, 2024, officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of 13th Street SE where FERRELL “did torture, kill, and eat a cat in a [residential] area in front of multiple people.”

 

Upon arrival, officers found FERRELL with her hands on a cat whose head appeared to have been smashed in. In the bodycam video provided to Voice For Us, an officer can be heard saying: “What did you do? Why did you kill the cat?”

 

From the investigation it emerged that FERRELL “had smashed the cat[']s head with her foot and then began to eat the cat.” One of the officers wrote on the report: “I did observe

 blood on Allexis' feet, hands, and fur on her lips.”

 

One of the officers placed the filthy murderer under arrest and transported her to the Stark County Jail and booked her on felony charges of cruelty to a companion animal.

 

The other officers remained on the scene and secured the furvictim as evidence. The humane society also responded to the scene and picked up the Voiceless Victim.

 

On August 21, 2024, a Stark County grand jury indicted FERRELL. On August 23, 2024, she pleaded not guilty.

Online records show that FERRELL is still in custody, and Canton Police confirmed that in an email.

 

The cat’s gender is not known and I struggled to find a unisex name to pay tribute to this Innocent Soul. In the end, I chose Twain, after Mark Twain who had up to nineteen cats and loved them all more than he loved people.

CYNTHIA ANN SCHMIDGALL and ETHAN WAYNE SCHMIDGALL arrested – Dead cats and dogs found in their home

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Ohio, USA -

 

The Canton Police Department arrested 21-year-old CYNTHIA ANN SCHMIDGALL and 20-year-old ETHAN WAYNE SCHMIDGALL (both pictured).

 

On June 7, 2024, police along with the Stark County Humane Society responded to a home on Henry Avenue SW south of Route 30 after a report from the Humane Society.

 

The inside of the home was covered in feces and urine. Officials found several cats and dogs who were severely malnourished.

 

Sadly, three cats and four dogs were found dead.

Police said that some of them had been dead for so long that they began to liquefy and seep into the ground.

 

A total of sixteen animals were rescued and are now recovering at the Stark County Humane Society. According to police, two of the rescued dogs were so emaciated that their rib cages were visible and they were struggling standing up.

 

Officials learned from multiple neighbors that the SCHMIDGALLS had not been at the home for three to four weeks.

 

The couple are now facing twenty-three charges of prohibitions concerning companion animals. Only seven of those counts are felonies, the others are misdemeanors.

 

The SCHMIDGALLS waived their preliminary hearings in Canton Municipal Court and their cases bound over to Stark County Common Pleas Court.

RICHARD D. GOINGS accused of letting his dog die in a hot car

Updated: Oct 20, 2024

- Ohio, USA -

 

The Sandusky Police Department arrested 50-year-old RICHARD D. GOINGS (pictured).

 

According to the criminal complaint obtained by Voice For Us, on the early morning of Sunday, May 19, 2024, Officer Gautschi responded to a home in the 2200 block of Forest Drive to investigate an animal complaint.

 

Upon arrival, the officer found GOINGS standing beside his vehicle, crying. Laying on the ground, near the vehicle, was a lifeless female Pitbull.

 

According to the police report, “It appeared the dog may have passed away due to heat exhaustion.”

 

Officer Gautschi learned that GOINGS had gone home to take a shower and that he remained inside for half an hour. GOINGS claimed that he left his vehicle running and a window open.

GOINGS told the officer that when he came back out, the vehicle was no longer running and the window was rolled up. He speculated that the dog stepped on the window control and closed the window.

As noted in the report, the temperature inside of the vehicle may have reached 105 degrees.

 

Officer Gautschi reported that it appeared the dog spends “a lot of time in the vehicle and is believed to be living with Richard in the vehicle.”

 

On Monday, May 20, 2024, the case was submitted to the Erie County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and on the same day GOINGS was arrested on one felony count of cruelty to animals and booked into the Erie County Jail. Records show GOINGS was released after posting a $5,000 bond.

According to the complaint, GOINGS is due back at Erie County Municipal Court on May 29, 2024, at 10:a.m.

 

I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Doris, after Doris Day, my favorite actress who was also an amazing animal rights activist.

Should the furvictim’s given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
