Woman beats CHAINED dog with branch

So I came across this video from my wonderful animal lover friends. This woman Ashley Genarra went to court and just got a slap on the wrist for hitting this dog. I really hope she doesn’t have kids. I’d hate to see what she does to them. Where’s the justice? What is it going to take for harsher punishment for people like this? Someone should beat her with a stick and see if she likes it.

SICK SICK SICK

I don’t know what else to say except there is no excuse for this. Who the hell does something like this? This is absolutely ridiculous. It’s sad that this won’t be the last time that something like this happens, all I can pray is that for the person that did this justice is served. And for the babies that suffered the way they did, I am glad they’re in a better place, I’m just sad that they got there this way. Sick son of (*&#($ I hope he rots in hell.

RAFT SWAMP — The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the grisly deaths of five dogs on Wednesday that might have been killed as retribution for the shooting death of a man this weekend.

In the same yard where Christopher Lee Fields was shot to death Saturday morning, deputies and animal cruelty investigators found three adult dogs and two puppies dead. Three had been shot, one had been hanged and another had been set on fire. An adult dog and three puppies were missing.

Wearing a bulletproof vest, Katherine Floyd, animal cruelty investigator for the county, collected evidence as day turned to night.

“This is the most barbaric crime I have ever seen,” Floyd said. “I’ve never seen anything like this … and I’ve seen a lot of animal cruelty in my line of work.”

Johnny Oxendine and his wife Tammy live at the home at 219 Riley Circle with their son, Danny Ray Oxendine, 28,. A old pick-up truck was vandalized, with windows broken out and an aborted attempt to remove a radio.

A crime report lists Danny Ray Oxendine as the person who shot Fields to death. He has not been charged with a crime as lawmen hint that the shooting was in self-defense.

Sheriff’s Maj. Howard Branch said there had been an “ongoing situation between neighbors.”

Deputies were not naming a suspect, but people who live in the area offered the name of one of Fields’ relatives who has a criminal history.

The area is off a rut-pocked dirt road in a collection of mobile homes. Fields, 20, lived across the road from the Oxendine residence, at 186 Riley Circle.

Inside an arcing C-shaped driveway, the Oxendine’s single-wide trailer had been riddled with 12 bullet holes from Saturday night’s shooting. Strands of loose crime-scene tape was strung around the property.

Johnny and Tammy Oxendine had not stayed at the home Tuesday night and returned Wednesday to find their animals killed and their home ransacked. Both were visibly shaken. Danny had reportedly left the area.

Deputies photographed the remains of a female chow that had been set on fire while it was still chained inside its plastic igloo-shaped doghouse. The only remnants of the dog house were small piles of melted plastic, and a square piece of metal that provided support.

Beside an out building lay the bodies of two brown pit bulls with chains still attached to their collars. Each had been shot to death from point-blank range. A lit cigarette had been ground into one dog’s brow.

“My babies …,” Johnny Oxendine said as he surveyed the carnage.

Near the dead dogs was a dog house that had been tipped on its side. Inside was a dead puppy that had been shot.

Toward the rear of the property was a tree that acted as a gallows for a dead black-and-white Boston Terrier that hung from a chain, its eyes bulging.

Deputies collected shell casings and other evidence, including more than two dozen busted beer bottles strewn about the yard.

Inside the ransacked trailer was a busted terrarium that was home to a turtle, the sole survivor of the brutality. Floyd took custody of the quarter-sized turtle. Behind a couch were the remains of the busted fish tank that had housed tropical fish.

All the windows in the house were busted, belongings were pitched outside, and furniture was upside down or smashed.

A metal pipe found inside the home might have been used in the destruction, Floyd said. Power tools and large bags of dog food were reportedly stolen.

Neighbors reported they heard banging around 1 a.m. Wednesday, but no one called authorities.

“It’s a shame and disgrace when animals have to pay with their lives for the cruelty of people,” Floyd said.

The dogs’ carcasses will be taken to Raleigh today for autopsies.

Floyd, who vowed to stay on the case until someone is punished, said the culprit could face felony charges. She said the animals were healthy and had been well cared for.

“These animals were innocent and in the comfort of their dog houses …. These animals were tortured and mutilated. They had nothing to do with the events going on out there,” she said. “… I hope the people who did this burn in hell.”

Court records show that Danny Ray Oxendine and Christopher Fields had a criminal history.

Oxendine, a convicted felon, has been in and out of trouble since 1995 and has at least 18 convictions for criminal offenses. He was released from prison in May 2007 after serving 10 months for assault on a female and assault by pointing a gun. He also served five months in 2004 for larceny.

Fields had a history of run-ins with the law dating back to 1994, but most were misdemeanors. He was charged in 2004 with assault with a deadly weapon with intent kill inflicting serious injury. He was charged again in 2007 with possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine.

Pitbull Abuse (Graphic)

I sometimes can’t look at these but in doing so I find the strength to fight for a greater cause to save these poor animals from ignorant, greedy, misinformed human beings. It’s a sad world we live in.

Pit Bulls, the side you don’t see

random thought

I was sitting here again tonight on myspace reading bulletins and passing them along. I had tears in my eyes then I started crying. I just wonder how so many people can not cry. I wonder how the rescue workers and animal lovers find the courage to keep pushing forward. I see the pictures, I see the videos, I read the stories, and still I weep. I have always considered myself a brave person but this pulls at my heart everytime. I really wish there was more I could do. Maybe I could foster. Maybe I could adopt another. They say the good deed starts at home. My neighbors could use the get a clue button in regards to their pets. I just find it extremely saddening that there are people out their buying purebred animals when there are purebred animals in the shelters being killed every day. When there are purebred animals walking down the side of the road living on the streets with no food or shelter or family to love them. How can we as humans let this happen?

Still I sit and wonder if tomorrow will be the same thing. Another day, another cry and life goes on. I wish that one day, some day, this world will be a better place. That there will be no animals suffering, no children being abused and every one can live prosperously.

How could they? Help this guy find a good home.

I live out in the BFE. My neighbors live out of state but their dogs live beside me. They’re hunting dogs. They’re loud and dirty and sweet as they can be. The guys that own them take care of them for the most part. They have automatic feeders and water bowls. They have barrels that they sleep in. The majority of us have heard of what happens when a hunting dog is no longer needed. It’s so sad. If you were a good hunter you wouldn’t need a dog would you? Why would you harm an animal? Animals have feelings. Animals have instinct.

This fella was passed along myspace in some rescue bulletins. He needs help and there is no reason for him to even be in there. He’s an old soul and a sweet boy. How could anyone ever harm such a beauty? Here’s the message that’s circulating….can you help?

Coonhound
Male
Senior
Large
ShelterThis is a very sad story about a wonderful Senior Redtick Coonhound who was shot in the head and left to die! Poncho has to have a drain tube in the side of his face to help drain the infection from where he was shot in the head. He is a frail senior hound who is nothing but skin and bone. He has shown some improvement but still has a long hard road ahead of him. How could anyone do such a thing to such a wonderful old Fellow. Poncho has stolen my heart and I just love this old man!! Being a senior dog is hard enough without all the heartache this fellow has had to Indore. His scars are not healed, his will to live is strong!! Help save this wonderful old fellow and show him that there is love out there for him. He walks with a head tilt that may never change. He may never recover completely but can live a fairly normal life if given a chance.
