DALLAS (1080 KRLD)- A Dallas County grand jury has handed up a half-dozen animal cruelty indictments. Each is for a separate case. All were during the time of the pandemic lockdown.
The indictments give graphic details of dogs that were killed by beatings, choking and gunshot wounds.
“They’re dangerous to the city of Dallas. They’re dangerous to anybody, said Jeremy Boss, President of the Dowdy Ferry Animal Commission. “I wouldn’t want to put my worst enemy close to people that have the ability to do that. Whether it be a dog, cat anything. They’ll do it to a human.”
One dog, a Labrador mix named Junior, was killed with plastic zip ties. Another named Bosco was shot to death. The deaths of two Pyrenees puppies was recorded, Boss said.
“There’s video of him taking two puppies out of the back of a truck, and then grabbing a stump. And we have video of him, basically, beating them to death.” Boss said.
Boss feels part of the reason for an increase in indictments is the number of cases that are investigated, something he credits Dallas Police and city officials with.
“The animal cruelty unit has stepped up and started doing investigations and prosecuting and getting people indicted for being cruel to animals.”
Those named in indictments are:
Xavier Broadnax-Dallas
Sebastian Acosta-Dallas
Kathryn Giangiulio-Irving
Amy Guinn-Garland
Erik Marquez-Garland
Gricelda Pueta Vazquez-Dallas
