I was browsing through the net and came across this article. Please have a read and you must note the perpetrator's comment!!!!! Thank God we are all not like him.
Animal cruelty case in Winter Park leads to felony arrest:
Orange County Animal Services sent out a media advisory indicating that it had taken in a dog from Winter Park that was so severely emaciated and ill that the dog’s former owner is being charged with felony animal abuse.
According to OCAS, they received a call about a dog reported to be in poor condition on Oct. 2. Animal Services arrived and found the emaciated dog, named Zola, was so weak that she was unable to stand. According to the intake report from OCAS, she was covered in fleas and lying on a floor soaked with urine and faces
The dog’s owner, Aaron Dennis, told animal services that the dog had been losing weight, but that he hadn’t taken her to the vet to find out what was wrong. The report describes an apartment with “numerous items” thrown about and blood, urine and faeces on the floor. Though the dog was unable to get up, officers indicated that she struggled to wag her tail.
Dennis willingly relinquished the dog to animal services, but he stated that he was surprised that he could get into trouble for the condition she was in. “It was just a dog, he stated,” according to the report. He was arrested on third-degree felony cruelty to animal charges. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is handling the criminal case.
Zola is now in the custody of Animal Services and receiving care from a local veterinarian.
More photos of Zola below, but they are somewhat upsetting. Don’t scroll down if you do not wish to see the emaciated dog.
I really couldn't bear to finish read this. People need to realize that we need animals just as much as they need us!
