Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia, are searching for two women after a disturbing discovery of deceased dogs inside refrigerators at a residential property. The incident has led to dozens of animal cruelty charges.
Disturbing Discovery Leads to Multiple Charges
According to officials, law enforcement officers made the grim find during an investigation. Christine Abbott and Donna Slavin are now wanted in connection with the case. Authorities have not released specific details on how many dogs were found or the condition of the home, but the nature of the discovery was severe enough to warrant multiple counts of animal cruelty against each suspect.
Ongoing Search for the Suspects
The Gwinnett County Police Department, working with information from CNN Newsource, has publicly identified the wanted individuals and released their photographs. The search for Abbott and Slavin is active, and police are urging anyone with information on their whereabouts to come forward. The charges highlight a serious case of alleged neglect and abuse.
A Broader Context of Animal Welfare Concerns
This case emerges amidst other recent animal abuse investigations in Canada, including a separate incident where a Calgary man was charged after multiple alleged abuse occurrences over the past year. While the Georgia case is under U.S. jurisdiction, it underscores a persistent, cross-border issue of animal welfare and the legal repercussions for severe cruelty. The Gwinnett County authorities are treating this as a priority as they work to locate and apprehend the two women.
