Target: Hon. Eugene Crum, Sheriff of Mingo County, West Virginia
Goal: Ensure legal consequences for suspects accused of leaving chained dogs without food, water, or shelter.
A deeply troubling case of animal neglect has emerged from Mingo County, West Virginia. Shawna Hicks and Skyler Mullins, both aged 23, have been charged with animal cruelty. This action follows a disturbing discovery by law enforcement officers who, while responding to an unrelated call, reportedly witnessed a harrowing scene at the residence of the accused.
Two dogs were allegedly found in a severely neglected state. They were reportedly chained, malnourished, and showed clear signs of neglect. Shockingly, the animals were apparently without shelter, food, or water and entangled around a wooden post. The weather conditions further exacerbated their suffering, with temperatures plunging to 29 degrees, leaving the dogs allegedly shivering in the cold.
These allegations paint a grim picture of disregard for animal welfare. Such acts are not only morally reprehensible but also a violation of laws designed to protect animals from cruelty and neglect. Demand a thorough investigation be conducted to ascertain the facts and ensure justice is served.
