According to the NJ.com, Dazile was dog sitting for the the Yorkie named Levi and allegedly placed the dog outside on the neighboring roof through the window of his apartment because the dog was barking. Levi was left in a metal cage with no water.

Dazile has been charged with not providing proper shelter, not providing drinking water, and inflicting unnecessary cruelty resulting in the death of a dog.

Neighbors heard a dog barking, but could not place where the dog was located. Finally according to ABC News, a neighbor spotted the cage on the roof and called authorities. By the time Animal Control arrived, tiny Levi was dead.

“Know what kind of person you leave your dog with and check them out,” stated Barbara Wilcotts of Miami. “I’m a professional dog sitter and sadly I hear about dreaded accidents like this. It should never have happened. This man deserves to be punished. That poor little dog died an excruciatingly painful death. It’s so tragic I could just cry.”

If found guilty of animal cruelty, Dazile could face the maximum of $1,000 in fines and six months in jail.

Dazile is due in court for his first appearance on June 17.

Rest in peace Levi.

Mother Of Two Spared Jail After Letting Dog Die Slow And Painful Death; Six Weeks Locked In Bathroom

“WTF…if an alcoholic mother of 2 , literally locked a dog in a toilet then walked away; leaving the dog unattended to die of starvation amongst other things…One has to ask…are those children safe? She knew it was wrong, the dog died an unimaginably slow death…so why no prison sentence? We are talking about a life, irrelevant whether a dog or not! A shop lifter would have been sentenced to more! This alcoholic piece of shit has got off so lightly, she isn’t fit to look after pets period, never mind children!! Judging by how much these court proceedings costs, the RSPCA…needn’t have bloody bothered!!”

• Laura Shaw, 23, abandoned pet Lulu when the animal fell ill
• Dog was found dead and covered in flies with ‘overpowering foul stench’
• Unemployed alcoholic fined and banned from keeping animals

Heartless: Laura Shaw has been convicted of animal cruelty after leaving her pet dog to die

Please note: Graphic Images Below!!

An unemployed alcoholic mother who locked her dog in a toilet and left it to die has walked free from court. “To literally lock that dog in the bathroom then walk away, show’s she was of sound mind!” 

Laura Shaw, 23, abandoned her pet Lulu for six weeks, and has now been banned from keeping animals for the next 10 years. “How long before she will do something similar to another living being??? I have a feeling we are going to encounter this name again;because her sentence won’t have done diddley squat to deter her from committing such an evil act again!!

Horrific images shown in court revealed how the animal was found covered in swarms of flies, surrounded by the empty food bowls it tried to eat. 

The mother of two was prosecuted by the RSPCA, but escaped jail after a hearing at Grimsby Magistrates’ Court.

The court heard how the dog was found dead last August in a downstairs toilet at Shaw’s former home in Grimsby, surrounded by faeces and urine.

Prosecutor Nigel Burn said there was an ‘overpowering foul stench‘ and the house was swarming with large flies.

Empty plates and a bowl were found and it looked as though they had been bitten by the black cross-bred dog in a desperate attempt to satisfy its hunger. “I find this sentence strange, as below, SHAW reckon’s the dog would not eat or drink anything…if it tried to eat the bowls, obviously it wanted & needed to eat anything going!”

Shaw, now of no fixed address, admitted two offences of causing unnecessary suffering to a dog by failing to provide veterinary care and leaving it unattended without adequate food and water. “Strikes me, booze would have been more important to buy, than food for the poor dog!”

She claimed that she was scared to seek help after the dog became ill, but when she was asked about the animal’s death she admitted: ‘It must have been traumatic and it must have been lonely and scared.’ “WTF…why was she scared?? I can think of only one reason you would be SCARED to take a dog to a vet…that would be if a previous animal had been abused & taken to a vet; who asked too many questions!! I wonder, did that dog ever visit a vet??

Lauren Fisher, mitigating, said the dog stopped eating and drinking and that she tried giving it milk and different dog food brands, without success. “A dog may be picky with food, but will eat if hungry… but to not drink either, sounds very suspicious. I would like to know if a necropsy was done & what it said! If one wasn’t done, why?? Alarm bells should be ringing in a case like this; with a necropsy being the first thing done! “

‘Things spiralled out of control,’ she said. ‘She did not get the help that was necessary for the dog and neglected her duty as an owner to take the dog to the vet’s.’

Tragic: The dog was apparently abandoned after she fell ill and started refusing the food she was given

Ms Fisher added that Shaw’s former home had been burgled after her windows were smashed and that a large amount of her property had been stolen, causing her ‘extreme unhappiness’. “OH fxxxxxg boo hoo!! Not as unhappy as the bloody dog; I bet!”

She left the house ‘feeling scared and unable to cope’ and abandoned the dog, who was aged about 18 months to two years. “Yea, I bet the poor bloody dog felt scared because it was abandoned…probably thought it better to buy booze than vet bills & food…sick bitch!”

The court heard that the defendant also had more than £10,000 of debts.

Judge Sam Goozee told Shaw: ‘You have committed a cruel and despicable offence. The pictures I have seen show the horror and pain that Lulu must have gone through in what was a very slow death.

‘The conditions in which she was found are disgusting and she clearly had been dead for a while.

Squalid: The house in Grimsby was filled with an overwhelming stink when the dog was found last year

Probation officer Graham Marshall said Shaw had been a mental health support worker but lost her job and later ‘drank to oblivion every day whenever she could’. 

‘Looking after an animal brings responsibility and you simply ignored those responsibilities.

‘Can you imagine what it would be like if a child went through what Lulu did? As an adult, you would never place a child in that position and you should not place an animal in that position.’ “A life is a life, that dog suffered the same as a child would, except it wouldn’t have got that far with a child because friends, neighbours, social workers etc. would have said something…but it was only a dog…that doesn’t make it any less of a heinous cruel & cold hearted thing to do!”

Shaw was handed 200 hours of unpaid work, banned from keeping animals for ten years and ordered to pay £150 costs. “Well they might as well not bothered… what’s the point in a fine when she is already in debt? This sentence is weak & pathetic & stinks!!

Speaking after the verdict, an RSPCA spokesman said: ‘This was a shocking incident. The poor animal would have suffered terribly, and it is terrible to leave a living creature to die like this.

‘We hope this sends a clear to message to people that neglect or abuse of animals is not acceptable.’ “No it’s not, & THIS DOESN’T SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO SAY ANIMAL ABUSE IS UNACCEPTABLE…WTF…what was her penance? Banned from owning animals for 10 years, 200 unpaid hours & £150 costs??? WTF…WTF does that say to other animals abusers? NOT ENOUGH TO STOP THEM…THAT’S WHAT…WHEN WILL THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM START GROWING SOME BALLS & MAKING PEOPLE PAY BY GIVING PRISON SENTENCES

Heart Breaking: Dog Braves Traffic To Guard Slain Companion

“Heartbreaking…this just show’s the level of emotion animals have! How can anyone doubt, that their feelings are so different to our very own? They show more compassion than most humans do!”

These photos show a scene that is deeply saddening, but remarkably heart-touching.  A stray male dog in Zhangzhou, China stood over his deceased female companion who had likely been struck by a car, all while risking being struck himself.

“The purity of a person’s heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals”   ~By Anonymous

Compassion!!

He is known to locals as Zhangzhou, and was heartbroken when his mate was killed.  Butcher Xiao Wu said he frequently saw the pair playing together, and had just begun feeding them.  He watched as the forlorn dog licked his friend’s face and lovingly nudged her with his nose, as if trying to wake her.  He tried to hug her, and Wu could swear he was crying.

“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans” ~ James Herriot

Compassion!!

“He stayed beside her the whole day, licking her and pushing her, trying to wake her up.  It’s very touching,” Wu explained.  “Then he pushed her with his head, and licked her face.  I even saw tears.”

Perhaps people were afraid of the oncoming traffic, are desensitized to seeing dogs struck by cars or just have cultural differences that cause dogs’ lives to not be as highly valued as they are in the US, but no one appears to have attempted to move either dog from the street for some time.  Zhangzhou held his vigil for his lost loved one for over six hours.

“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” ~ Martin Buber

Still think animals don’t have feelings or show compassion?

“Every one can master a grief but he that has it.” ~ William Shakespeare

 “To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved, only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness.” ~ Erich Fromm

Dead dog found in the middle of road in it’s bed???

“How bizarre, well it didn’t take itself into the middle of the road, get into bed, curl up & die! Somebody put that poor we thing there, either to get a kick out of it, or because the dog died & rather than do the right thing, they tossed it out onto the road! I think a necropsy is vital to find out if there are any suspicious actions going on. To whoever put it there…you are sick & in need of some physcological help!”

A Port Charlotte woman made a gruesome discovery – a dead puppy curled up in its bed sitting in the middle of the road.

The case is still a mystery to animal control officers who are asking for your help.

Jennifer Baiardi is a dog lover. ”I mean, I love animals,” she says.

She’s repeatedly turned down offers from people looking to buy her pit bull, Shiloh. So she was never prepared for what she discovered Friday.

“I’m still trying to get over it,” she said.

While doing some yard work, she noticed a small dog bed lying in the road.

“I didn’t think anything of it, at first,” Baiardi admits.

Eventually, reluctantly, she walked across the street to see what was in the bed.

“It shocked me. I cannot believe people can do something like that, I just can’t,” she says.

Baiardi found a Chihuahua puppy stiff and dead wearing a T-shirt curled up in its bed underneath a towel.

“It’s like it fell asleep and never woke up,” explains Lt. Brian Jones with Charlotte County Animal Control

In 15 years working for animal control, Jones has never seen anything like this.

“I was just astounded. We were speechless like ‘wow, don’t see that everyday’,” he admits.

Jones is investigating the case, but doesn’t know who owned the dog or how it died. He has more questions than answers right now.

“We don’t know how it ended up there. It seemingly just dropped out of the clear blue sky,” Jones says.

Investigators haven’t ruled out animal cruelty playing a role in the dog’s death and haven’t decided whether or not to conduct a necropsy.

Baiardi doesn’t recognize the dog from the neighbourhood, but hopes animal control can find out who it belonged to.

Investigators say they’ve canvassed the neighbourhood - at the intersection of Blossom and Norwood streets – looking for clues.

They point out that the dog appeared to be well cared for.

If you have any information about the dog, call animal control at 941-833-5690. You can remain anonymous.

Judge postpones sentence in Irish bestiality case where woman died

“WTF…it sickens me to know that these gluttonous savages are trawling the internet, searching for people to partake in diabolical & positively revolting act’s of bestiality; with their so-called pets!!”  

“I’ll bet this wasn’t the first time the barbarous brute below, used the poor dog for his own prurient carnal gratification. But, I can’t understand why it was put down with ‘McDonnell’s’ consent? Unless it was on a vets advice, due to the trauma or internal damage the dog was subjected to…if it was then he needs to be convicted of animal abuse too. This is why we need an Animal Abuse Register!!”

“The Defence for this sadist even say’s ‘If the lady had not died’ there would be no charges…like it’s nothing out of the ordinary!! In which case, I can’t help but wonder how many animals are out there, being molested & as long as there is no injury…it’s all fxxxxxg dandy…Filthy miscegenation! ”

“My God, that poor dog, I think I am relieved he was sent over Rainbow Bridge; where he can finally rest in peace, knowing the only hands that will touch him now are those that are kind & pure!”

A woman died at Sean McDonnell’s home after she had sex with his dog. 

A JUDGE yesterday adjourned sentencing in a case in which evidence was given of the defendant’s interest in pornography and bestiality.

Seán McDonnell (58) pleaded guilty to one count of buggery with an animal, namely a German Shepherd-type dog, at his home on October 7th, 2008. It is believed to be the first case of its kind in an Irish court.

Evidence was given that he had arranged for a woman to have sex with his dog. He had met her on an internet chat room.

The woman – a 48-year-old separated mother from Co Limerick, who was not named in court – died in hospital hours after engaging in an act of bestiality with the animal.

Det Garda Pádraig O’Dwyer, Roxboro Road Garda station, accepted that while the woman and the dog engaged in an act of bestiality, no exact cause of death could be found.

“This is a very obscene case,” remarked Denis Vaughan Buckley, senior prosecution counsel, as he outlined the evidence.

He said McDonnell telephoned the emergency services from his house at Laurel Park, Patrickswell, Co Limerick. “The deceased had turned blue and was wearing unusual clothing,” he said.

Det Garda O’Dwyer said the accused accepted the woman had agreed, in an internet exchange, to have sex with the dog.

Evidence was given of blood, DNA and hair samples.

During a search at McDonnell’s home, gardaí discovered a computer “which confirmed the accused’s interest in bestiality”.

Mr Vaughan Buckley said the accused had posted 3,500 comments on bestiality forums. McDonnell’s computer also revealed multiple internet search hits for bestiality.

A computer, the property of the deceased, showed “extensive activity in pornography and bestiality websites”, Mr Vaughan Buckley said.

The dog was destroyed last week with McDonnell’s consent. Isobella Kennedy, defending, said: “My client would not have been prosecuted save for the lady in question passing away. The lady fully consented. There was no form of coercion or duress.”

Judge Carroll Moran described it as “a very unusual case” and adjourned sentencing to December 14th.

Preteens Accused of Animal Cruelty on House Arrest

“I hope & pray the judge will come down heavy on these little shit heads, if they have the mind-set to do that now, what are they going to be like when their in their late teens…it will be kids or the elderly…if this isn’t nipped in the bud now!”

LAS VEGAS – Two 11-year-olds accused of animal cruelty that led to the death of six kittens appeared in Clark County Family Court Monday afternoon.

A judge ordered house arrest for the boys. They are required to wear ankle monitoring until Oct. 30 when the judge will decide if the case will go to trial. “IT must go to trial to get these psycho’s off the streets until they understand the ramifications of their actions”

It was later discovered they were…

throwing the rocks at a cat giving birth.

The pre-teens each face seven counts of animal cruelty.

True Friends Are Forever: Captain Faithfully Guards His Owner’s Final Resting Place

“Dogs never cease to amaze me, true unconditional love; to the very end!! That’s a lot more than humans give each other…which one has the biggest heart & is the most loyal? The DOGS of course!”

Ever watchful, Capitan guards the final resting place of his friend Miguel Guzman. He has loyally spent every night at the cemetery sleeping on the grave of his owner.

Argentinian Miguel Guzman brought Capitan home as a present for his son Damian. Tragically, one year later Guzman died suddenly.

Capitan ran away and his family feared him lost. Imagine their astonishment when they went to pay their respects to their husband and father and found their lost dog sitting beside Guzman’s grave.

Capitan was grieving for his companion. According to Veronica Guzman, Mr. Guzman’s widow, “The following Sunday we went to the cemetery and Damian recognized his pet. Capitan came up to us, barking and wailing, as if he were crying.’

How he managed to locate Guzman is unknown. Mrs. Guzman said,”We had never taken him to the cemetery so it is a mystery how he managed to find the place”.

‘We went back the next Sunday, and he was there again. This time, he followed us home and spent a bit of time with us, but then went back to the cemetery before it started getting dark.

‘I don’t think he wanted to leave Miguel on his own at night.’

Cemetery director Hector Baccega recalls that, “he turned up here one day, all on his own, and started wandering all around the cemetery until he eventually found the tomb of his master.

‘During the day he sometimes has a walk around the cemetery, but always rushes back to the grave. And every day, at six o’clock sharp, he lies down on top of the grave stays there all night.’

The cemetery staff are so impressed with Capitan’s unending love for Mr. Guzman that they provide him with food and water and care for him.

Mr Guzman’s son Damian said: ‘I’ve tried to bring Capitan home several times, but he always comes straight back to the cemetery. I think he’s going to be there until he dies too. He’s looking after my dad.’

Drunk Hearts fan killed kitten during argument

A HEARTS fan is facing jail after killing an 11-week-old kitten by hurling it against the floor hours after celebrating his team’s cup final win over Hibs.

Andrew Ronaldson had been out drinking after attending the game at Hampden when he went round to friend Laura McFarlane’s home in Wester Hailes.

The 21-year-old became embroiled in an argument with Ms McFarlane and grabbed her kitten, named Keeko, and raised the animal above his head.

Ronaldson dashed the kitten on to the floor, leaving the tiny pet suffering fits with blood coming out of its mouth.

Horrified Ms McFarlane picked up the kitten and ran upstairs to escape Ronaldson, but it died moments later.

Today, she told the Evening News that she and her three young sons were “heartbroken” over the kitten’s death.

Ronaldson, of Broomhouse Avenue, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday after previously admitting to causing the animal’s death in the early hours of May 20 at the house in Morvenside.

Sentencing was deferred by Sheriff Michael O’Grady QC who called for further reports.

Ms McFarlane, 26, said: “I’ve know him for years. I’d been in the pub that night but went back home. He came to my door with a couple of friends. He’d been at the Cup Final that day and was drunk, but I let him in.

“Then he was trying to start an argument with me. During that, he picked up Keeko and threw her with every bit of force he could on to the 
laminated floor.

“The police did a post-mortem and said she would have died instantly.

“She seemed to be having fits, but the police said that would’ve been the nerve endings making her do that.

“He knew how much Keeko meant to me and my children so I think that’s why he did it.”

Ms McFarlane got the kitten from a friend as a pet for her sons, Lewis, eight, Kalvin, five, and Owen, three. But despite being devastated by the loss of the pet, she said she did not want Ronaldson jailed.

She said: “It’s difficult for me to say this, but I don’t want him to go to jail for what he did. I just want him to realise what he did was wrong. And he should be banned from ever having a pet of his own.”

Fiscal depute Fiona Caldwell told the court yesterday that Ronaldson had arrived at Ms McFarlane’s home at about 1am, and the argument broke out around an hour later.

The fiscal added: “The accused sat up and maliciously grabbed the kitten. He raised it above his head and forcibly threw it against the floor.”

Defence solicitor, Angus McLennan, said that in a statement to the police Ronaldson, who has previous convictions, told them that the kitten had “jumped up on to him and he had brushed it away”. His client, he said, had a problem with alcohol abuse.

Mr McLennan added: “He is extremely regretful about the circumstances in which this animal died.”

Dog dragged by ute for 4km – then run over

 

The “sick” and “senseless” death of a dog dragged at least 4km behind a vehicle has horrified a motorist who tried to save the animal.

Gabrielle Crosby was driving near Masterton on Sunday afternoon when she saw a white ute travelling in the opposite direction pulling a dog by a long lead. She made an immediate u-turn and followed.

“I honked my horn. I flashed my lights. I started screaming but they didn’t stop. It was a nightmare,” she said. “I don’t know how long the dog was out of the ute for. I followed them for about 4 or 5km. The dog was trying to run to keep up, but it was being dragged.”

A farmer driving a tractor along the road also tried to alert the ute’s driver, but to no avail, Mrs Crosby said.

She caught up with the ute near sewage ponds at Homebush.

As she was about to pass it to force the driver to stop, the dog’s collar broke. She could not avoid hitting the animal, which may have been a bearded huntaway.

“Thankfully, it was killed instantly,” she said.

The tractor driver and Mrs Crosby consoled each other where the dog died but the ute kept going.

 ”The driver didn’t stop at all. They don’t know how their carelessness caused the horrible death of their dog,” she said.

“It was a sick way for a dog to die. It was just senseless.”

Mrs Crosby alerted the SPCA.

Masterton animal welfare officer Lesley Gibson said that when she arrived at the site yesterday, the dog was nowhere to be seen.

However, workers at the sewage ponds said it had been there when they arrived that morning.

“We want to find out who the driver was. It was a horrendous situation,” Mrs Gibson said.

She said Mrs Crosby did everything she could.

“It was actually a blessing in disguise that she hit the dog.

“If dogs are going to be carried on the back of utes they need to be tied on in such a way that they can’t fall off the edge.”

Anyone with information about the dog or the ute driver should contact Masterton SPCA on (06) 377-1912.

Dog fighting for survival after spending eight days lying by dead owner

“Oh…this is just heartbreaking, that is one little dog who has, what I wish all dogs could have…Love…unconditional love from the owner to to the dog, from the dog to the owner! Praying the little guy will make it & hopefully, find room in his heart to love & be loved again…watch the video at the link below! 

Vets are battling to save the life of a dog who is believed to have spent up to eight days lying beside the body of his dead owner.

The devoted Jack Russell cross, aptly named Jack, was discovered extremely emaciated and dehydrated at the pensioner’s side last week.

But, despite being hours from death, the loyal nine-year-old pet was devastated to be prized away from the remains of the 72-year-old woman, who had adopted him from a rescue home five years ago.

The identity of the deceased owner is being closely guarded until all family members have been informed of her passing, but she is understood to be a retired nurse who moved to Scotland as a young woman.

Worried friends visited her remote countryside home at Kinnell, near Arbroath, Angus, when they hadn’t heard from her in over a week before finding her dead.

The cause of the woman’s death is unclear as yet, but it is understood she died of natural causes.

Jack was rushed to a local veterinary practice, where he has spent the last few days undergoing intensive treatment.

He is now being cared for at the Arbroath home of Ian Robb, founder of the Help for Abandoned Animals Charity, who said on Wednesday that the dog’s condition is still “touch and go”.

Mr Robb said: “The wee man is not out of the woods yet. He is a very, very sad wee boy at the moment.“He was found by this lady’s side and we believe he could have been there for eight days. We think he was less than a day from death.”
