WOMEN ON THE RUN: Police Launch Desperate Manhunt for Twisted Duo Accused of Hoarding Dogs in Feces-Filled Cages and Stashing Dead Pets in Fridges
- Chilling discovery at Georgia home reveals 25 underweight and malnourished dogs trapped in tiny cages surrounded by filth
- Thirteen dead dogs found in refrigerators, with some in advanced stages of decomposition, sparking outrage and horror
- Christine Abbott, 67, and Donna Slavin, 65, charged with dozens of counts of animal cruelty, but remain on the loose
In a stomach-churning turn of events, police in Georgia have launched a frantic search for two women accused of subjected dogs to unimaginable cruelty, hoarding them in tiny cages filled with feces and urine, and even storing the bodies of dead pets in their fridges.
The disturbing discovery was made on September 17, when the Gwinnett County Police Department responded to a tip-off about animal cruelty at a home on the 1900 block of Britt Drive. Upon obtaining a search warrant, investigators were met with a scene of utter depravity, with 25 dogs crammed into small cages, surrounded by their own waste.
The animals, described as “underweight and malnourished,” were found in desperate need of care and attention. But the horror didn’t stop there. In a shocking twist, investigators uncovered 13 plastic bags containing dead dogs in three refrigerators scattered throughout the home. The police department revealed that “several of the deceased animals were in varying stages of decomposition.”
The full extent of the cruelty was revealed after a series of veterinary examinations and necropsies, which led to authorities issuing 12 felony warrants and 14 misdemeanour warrants for Christine Abbott, 67, and Donna Slavin, 65. The duo, who remain at large, face dozens of counts of animal cruelty.
In a stark warning, the police department has urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of Abbott and Slavin to come forward. As the search continues, animal lovers are left reeling from the sheer brutality of the crimes, and the community remains on high alert for the safe capture of these alleged animal abusers.
