CHANTELL SHERI MERIWETHER arrested after her dog was found abandoned, tied to a power box

- Indiana, USA -


The Evansville Police Department arrested 45-years-old CHANTELL SHERI MERIWETHER (pictured) accused of abandoning her dog and leaving him/her tied up to a power box.


Police said they found the dog on August 8, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. outside the CK Newsome Community Center. According to police, the dog had minimal shade, had no food or water, and was barking incessantly.


The furvictim was microchipped a week prior and police were able to identify MERIWETHER as his/her guardian. Furthermore, police obtained security footage and MERIWETHER was first seen at 8:45 a.m. walking with the dog toward CK Newsome Community Center, then, footage showed MERIWETHER walking away from the building about fifteen minutes later without the dog. When the police called MERIWETHER, she refused to answer any questions. She was placed under arrest on Monday, August 28, 2023, and charged with one felony count of animal cruelty. MERIWETHER is being held in the Vanderburgh County Jail.


Court records show that MERIWETHER is expected in Vanderburgh County Superior Court on September 19, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.


Police did not disclose additional information about the Voiceless Victim who was picked up by Animal Control. I have emailed the Evansville Police Department to inquire about the furbaby and if I hear back, I will post an update.


Online court records show that MERIWETHER has a prior conviction for animal cruelty in 2018.


On an unrelated note, MERIWETHER was arrested in August 2019, after police said her grandson, under the age of three, drank alcohol while he was in her care on July 5, 2019, and the amount he consumed sent him to the hospital.

The list of her criminal records goes on and on….

BRANDON LEE HUNT arrested after Healdton Police found thirty-nine dead chickens on his property

- Oklahoma, USA -


On Tuesday, August 22, 2022, the Healdton Police Department arrested 26-years-old BRANDON LEE HUNT (pictured) after several deceased chicken carcasses and other animals were discovered at a property on 922 Industrial Road in Healdton, Carter County.


According to the arrest affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, Healdton Police Officer Chance Robertson responded to the aforementioned property on Tuesday and knocked on the door but there was no answer. In the front yard of the residence, the officer saw one dead chicken and one dog running loose. On the south side of the home, the officer saw three cages; in one of them were three dead chickens, in another were two dead chickens, and in the last one there was one dead chicken. Officer Robertson also found two chained dogs and one of them, a brown dog, was so skinny that his/her ribs were showing.


As the officer walked to the back of the residence, he discovered a dead chicken by the camper, and more dead chickens inside cages in the backyards. According to the affidavit, “some of the chickens looked like they had just died”, while the others had been dead for a while.

Additionally, Officer Robertson found a black fifty-five gallon drum barrel with several dead chickens inside. The officer estimated a total of thirty-nine deceased chickens throughout the property.


According to a court document signed by Carter County District Attorney Melissa G. Handke, "BRANDON LEE HUNT ACTING TOGETHER AND IN CONCERT WITH REVA BLALOCK" did then and there unlawfully, willfully, knowingly, and wrongfully commit forty felony counts of cruelty to animals. The counts are in relation to the chickens who belonged to HUNT and who were willfully and cruelly neglected by being deprived of adequate care which resulted in their deaths, and to the brown dog, who belonged to HUNT, who was willfully and cruelly neglected by being deprived of proper care.


Healdton Police Chief Dustin Miller told KXII that they also found cats and a decomposed rabbit on the property. He added that Healdton animal control rescued the animals and took them to a local vet clinic to be treated. Sadly, one of the kittens died.


HUNT was placed under arrest and taken to Carter County Jail.


On a separate note, KXII reports that HUNT has been arrested for animal cruelty in 2021, after several dogs and pigeons were found on his property starving with no food or water. Two dogs were sadly found deceased. The following year, HUNT pleaded guilty to the charges of animal cruelty and was sentenced to only one year in jail.

SARAH MOULDS acquitted of animal cruelty after video showed her kicking and punching a horse

- United Kingdom -


On Friday, August 25, 2023, after a three-day trial at Lincoln Crown Court, 39-years-old SARAH MOULDS (pictured) was acquitted of animal cruelty in relation to an incident that happened on November 6, 2021, at the hunt meet of the infamous Cottesmore Hunt near The Drift, Gunby, in Lincolnshire.


Members of Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs witnessed MOULDS kicking and repeatedly punching in the head a defenseless 11-year-old horse named Bruce Almighty. The vile actions were filmed by the organization and the video went viral.


At the time of the incident, MOULDS was a teacher at the Mowbray Educational Trust, but she was fired in December 2021, after the sickening video was watched globally.


In January 2022, MOULDS was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to Bruce Almighty and failing to take reasonable steps to protect him from pain, suffering or injury.

The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) prosecuted the case.


The Court heard that Bruce Almighty was being ridden by a child the day of the incident. As the horses were being untacked, Bruce Almighty unexpectedly “took off” and moved about twenty-five meters down the road. Instructing the child to let go of the horse’s rope, MOULDS said “she believed there were a ‘number of horrific things’ that might have happened had the child attempted to hold on”, reports Sky News. Eventually Bruce Almighty stopped to graze on a grass verge and then returned to the horse box. At that point MOULDS kicks the defenseless horse in the chest and then proceeds to repeatedly punch him in the head. The video of her despicable behavior filmed by Hertfordshire Hunt Saboteurs was played to the jury.


According to Sky News, MOULDS said she intended to “briefly shock” Bruce Almighty and denied losing her temper. ”My intention was then, and always was, to discipline Bruce in the moment so that he does not do it again”, said MOULDS.


Hunt Saboteurs Association reports that an expert advising the prosecution said Bruce Almighty would have suffered “fear and distress” during the assault.

The organization further reports that Suzanne Green, an award winning equine veterinary surgeon, told the court that the actions against Bruce Almighty “was not proportional or appropriate” and explained: “As Sarah Moulds gets hold of the lead rope, at that point his head continues to go up, it is pulling back, his eyes are shut, it’s ears are to the side. It has tension in its face.”


Dr. Green was then asked to comment on the video and said: “The skin on the horse is especially thin, and there are two main nerves that run down the face which are responsible for nearly all of the sensations. You can see on the horse’s face when she hits that horse, it is being caused fear”. Dr. Green rightfully pointed out that Bruce Almighty can be seen in the video not fighting back and not hurting MOULDS. She then told the jurors: “the overall conclusion I have reached was that Bruce was caused unnecessary suffering by the actions of Sarah Moulds in that video”, and that “you only kicked a horse like that to deliver pain because it will hurt it”.


Despite the overall overwhelming evidence, a jury of eleven men and one woman found MOULDS not guilty after just over five hours of deliberation. If found guilty, MOULDS could have faced jail.

It makes you wonder who the heck were the jurors?!

Outside court, MOULDS slammed the RSPCA for prosecuting her and accused the nonprofit of being “pressured” by online “bullies”.
