The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office arrested 68-years-old CYNTHIA ANNE MANDERS (pictured), after a Brazoria County Grand Jury indicted her on forty-one (41) counts of Class A Misdemeanor Cruelty to Livestock Animals stemming from an incident that happened on August 18, 2023.

 

Back in August, a neighbor had called the sheriff’s office to report that cows were dropping like flies on MANDERS’ ranch, an 800-acre stretch of land along CR 809 south of Sweeny.

 

At the time, Brazoria County Sheriff Bo Stallman told Click2Houston: “There’s a small amount at first and there has continued to be additional cattle deceased as we continue to investigate the scene.”   

 

Almost forty (40) precious cows and calves died from dehydration.

Officials that responded to the scene said there was no water to be found and according to neighbors, they tried giving the cows water after the poor souls charged their fences.

 

Click2Houston reported that “firefighters distributed roughly 4,000 gallons of water to hydrate the remaining cows” and that they were asked “to continue distributing water to the cows for the next several days.”

 

The sheriff’s office said in a media release that MANDERS faces a recommended bond totaling $125,000. A statement read: “Our community will not tolerate animal cruelty within Brazoria County. The swift and decisive action against Ms. Manders sends a clear message that such behavior will be met with the full force of the law.”

An employee of the long-shuttered Friar Tuck Inn and Resort on state Route 32 in Kiskatom is facing animal cruelty charges after a wounded donkey, one horse, and one mini horse were removed by New York State Police with the assistance of Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA.

 

In a Facebook post the agency said: “All three equines were underweight and dehydrated. The donkey, named Donny, had two lacerations, one to his neck, and one to his ‘coronary band,’ or top of his hoof.  All three equines are expected to make a full recovery.”

 

According to Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA, all three Voiceless Victims are currently being fostered and rehabilitated at Oats’ Country Acres, owned and operated by Camille McDonald.

 

Daily Freeman reports that state Trooper Steven Nevel told the news outlet in an email that although the resort is officially closed, they are housing animals at the facility.

According to Daily Freeman, Trooper Steven Nevel also said: “Farm animals were discovered without enough feed and in somewhat deplorable conditions. No animals were physically abused nor did they appear to be malnourished.” These animals included “a variety of goats,” chickens, a peacock, a turkey, and a donkey.

 

Police identified the employee as 57-years-old LI BINGHUI, of Elmhurst. He was arrested at Catskill on the morning of Monday, December 4, 2023, and charged with five misdemeanor counts of torturing or injuring animals/failure to provide sustenance. BINGHUI was released with tickets for Catskill Town Court.

 

The Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA is asking the public for donations to help with the cost of the rehabilitation and veterinary charges involving this seizure. If you wish and can afford to help  out, please click here. Thank you!

~ Update: January 10, 2023

 

Following my email to Animal Services, I learned that the age of the rescued Pitbull “has not been determined at this time” and that staff do not know whether she has a name. I was told that after being rescued, the furbaby “was taken to Hill Top Animal Hospital for evaluation. The medical report from Hill Top Animal Hospital states the dog was malnourished, had scars on her face, fractured teeth, bleeding tail, and dandruff. She weighed 37lbs when taken for evaluation.”

 

~ Original story:


The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office arrested 41-years-old MARGARET ELIZABETH NEVILS (pictured).

 

According to the incident report obtained by Voice For Us, the sheriff’s office received a phone call from a woman who said she hadn’t seen her neighbor, NEVILS, at her Grovetown home on 2064 Magnolia Parkway since October 2023. The woman also said that she had not seen NEVILS’ car or anyone at the residence and provided deputies with a phone number. The sheriff’s office said that attempts were unsuccessful as the number “went straight to voicemail.”

 

On January 4, 2023, a deputy responded to the address to conduct a welfare check. Through two windows in the front of the house, he could see inside as the blinds were partially pulled up. The deputy saw that the floor was covered in animal feces, and the furniture was destroyed.

 

A small Pitbull ran from the back of the residence to the window. The deputy said the Pitbull was emaciated so Animal Services were called in. The deputy then went to the backyard and saw that most of the floor in the kitchen area was also covered in feces. He further noticed holes through the walls in the kitchen and garage that had been chewed by the Pitbull.

 

The deputy rang the bell and knocked on the door but he did not get any answer. He then forced entry into the back-door glass window and unlocked the door. Officer Csira with Animal Services then entered the residence to retrieve the Pitbull.

 

At that point, deputies entered the house. They found three locked interior doors and noticed “that blood was seeping from the freezer section of the refrigerator”, stated the incident report. A deputy opened the freezer door “and saw a black trash bag with an animal foot sticking out.”

 

The report goes on to say: “There were multiple bags in the freezer and the refrigerator containing dog carcasses.”

 

Deputies then forced entry into the locked bedrooms in an attempt to locate anyone in the residence. In the master bedroom, they found three deceased dogs in various stages of decomposition. In the spare bedroom, there were several empty dog cages with another piece of furniture that was also shredded. In the last bedroom, they found items belonging to a child or teenager. No human remains were located on the property.

 

Investigator William Bonsack with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office was also notified and responded to the scene.

 

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office tells me that a total of fourteen (14) deceased dogs were found inside the residence. Three (3) of them were found in a bedroom, three (3) others were found in the fridge, and eight (8) in a freezer. These eight furbabies were an adult and seven (7) puppies. The sheriff’s office also told me that the live female Pitbull is expected to make a full recovery and that necropsies will be performed on the deceased Voiceless Victims to determine the cause of death.

 

NEVILS was arrested on animal cruelty charges and booked into the Columbia County `Jail. She was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
