ANTHONY JAMES SEPULVEDA arrested for beating his dog

- Texas, USA -

 

The El Paso Police Department announced the arrest of 20-year-old ANTHONY JAMES SEPULVEDA (pictured).

 

SEPULVEDA was first investigated back on June 12, 2024, when officers with the El Paso Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Investigation Unit responded to the 1600 block of Lee Trevino in East El Paso. A witness reported seeing him strike his dog, named Apollo, several times with a metal rod. The witness told officers that Apollo yelped and cried in pain.

 

Officers then learned that in a separate incident, SEPULVEDA hit Apollo with a belt.

 

SEPULVEDA was taken into custody on September 25, 2024, and booked into the El Paso County Jail on charge of cruelty to non-livestock animals (kill, poison, serious bodily injury).

Bond was set at $10,000 which the scum was able to post.

 

Police said Apollo has been rehomed.

KRYSTLE DENISE MITCHELL arrested – She tied her dogs so tightly that they couldn't move or breathe

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

Pennsylvania State Police out of Washington County arrested 36-year-old KRYSTLE DENISE MITCHELL .

 

On September 26, 2024, officers were dispatched to a residence on 119 Poplar Street in Ellsworth Boro to investigate an animal cruelty report.

 

In the backyard of the residence, officers found two Rottweilers and a Mastiff. One of the Rottweilers and the Mastiff were “tightly tethered around a wooden post in such a way that their movement, ability to stand and ability to adequately breathe were restricted”, stated the release by Washington Police.

The Mastiff was laying on the ground unresponsive.

 

Ellsworth VFD responded to the scene and after administering oxygen to the Mastiff, the furvictim became responsive.

 

All three dogs were removed and thankfully, they are doing fine.

 

Reporter Cara Sapida with WPXI-TV spoke with one of the residents who alerted the police, Makiah Bayus. Mr. Bayus said one of the dogs had the “tongue all hanging out” and he did not think the dog was going to make it. He said: “It was so sad I almost went inside.” He added he kept texting his girlfriend and was about to cry.

 

Humane Officer Cathy Cunningham with the nonprofit C.R.I.C.A.A.T gave the dogs food and water and took them to the vet.

 

Police arrested MITCHELL, the owner of the residence, and charged her with two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, three counts of cruelty to animals and three counts of neglect to animals.

District Judge Curtis Thompson released MITCHELL on $50,000 unsecured bond.

Court records show that she is scheduled to appear back at Magisterial District Court on October 7, 2024, at 11:00 a.m.

Investigation underway after a defenseless cat was found shot with an arrow in Philadelphia

- Pennsylvania, USA -

 

The Pennsylvania SPCA announced that its Animal Law Enforcement Team launched an investigation to find the lowlife responsible for shooting a defenseless cat with an arrow and leaving her to die a slow and painful death.

 

In a Facebook post, the agency recounted the heartbreaking facts and shared the distressing pictures of the furvictim named Kimiko.

 

Kimiko lived in a colony and when her caretaker went to feed her, Kimiko was in her regular waiting place only this time, “in an apparent act of cruelty”, with an arrow protruding through her right thigh.

 

Kimiko was quickly rushed into Philadelphia Animal Specialty and Emergency's (PASE), where she was stabilized. Philadelphia SPCA officers then picked her up and rushed her back to PSPCA where two surgeons operated to remove the arrow and mend her wounds.

 

An x-ray image, which Philadelphia SPCA shared on Facebook, showed an arrow point wedged into Kimiko’s right leg, just inches away from her bones. Thankfully, surgeons were able to save Kimiko’s leg and she is now recovering while the veterinarian team continues to ensure that she receives the care she needs.

 

Kimiko was found injured on Thursday, September 19, 2024, in the 2100 block of 31st Street in Strawberry Mansion. It is suspected that the arrow was shot from a crossbow and it’s unknown whether the target was the colony or Kimiko in particular. Either way, the scum needs to be identified and they must face the legal consequences.

 

If you have any information regarding this senseless and despicable act, please come forward and speak up. Please contact the Philadelphia SPCA's cruelty hotline at (866) - 601 - 7722. Alternatively, you can email tips which can be left anonymously. Thank you!
