Two separate and unrelated cases in Houston of dogs being beaten and abused were captured on videos; the Houston County Precinct 1 and Harris Police Departments served warrants to seize the dogs.
According to the SPCA Houston, a puppy was seen in a video being strangled and tossed on the ground. In another video, a dog had been attacked with a knife.
In the first video, a Labrador type puppy could be seen being strangled and then thrown out of the front door of an apartment in Greenspoint. After authorities viewed the video, a warrant was issued, and the Houston SPCA officers seized the pup. The puppy remains in the custody of the Houston SPCA and is reported to be in stable condition.
Precinct 1 sought charges of animal cruelty against the owner, however the Harris County District Attorney’s Office refused stating there was a “lack of sufficient evidence.”
On May 4, a dog and puppy were rescued by authorities after a video showed the owner using a knife to repeatedly hit the dog in the face while the dog remained tied with shoestrings. Both the dog and puppy are receiving individualized treatment by a Houston SPCA veterinarian, including fleas and skin issues. They will remain in the rescue’s care until a hearing is scheduled. It is not known if the owner will face animal cruelty charges.

Please explain why the SPCA US has killed dogs and cats that are dropped off at their HQ.My Vet showed me this fact. WHY????
There’s a video showing the abuse and the “precinct 1 sought charges of animal cruelty against the owner, however the Harris County District Attorney’s Office refused stating there was a “lack of sufficient evidence.””
Really a video is not enough evidence – time to call or email DA and ask how much more proof they need
Those abusers need to get the same treatment,and that is the least of it
