I came across this video on YouTube along with the information. It’s yet another sad case of ’slap on the wrist’ justice! Watch the video and read what the person who posted it said. It just makes me ill!!
This is video caught by a good Samaritan of a woman named Ashley Gennara beating a dog in Kalamazoo, Michigan in May, 2006. She then calmly walks away, checking her shoes for shit. She pleaded guilty to two counts of animal cruelty, but they dropped one.
Outcome: 6 months probation, was not to own or possess a dog during probation. Was caught with another dog, and placed on another 6 months probation. No community service, no counseling…a slap on the wrist.
When they booked her at jail it took under an hour, and that was actually considered time serve..one day served… when it was only under an hour!
When she was testifying, she stated: “And the one seemed aggressive so I wouldn’t get close to him to whoop him and I was whooping him with a stick in my yard.” and “It was not a big stick; it was just a small branch that I found in my backyard. It wasn’t thick.”
The dogs were given back to ‘her friend’ who said they were hers…When this video was shown to boyfriend Corey Morris, he stated twice “That ain’t nothing…if you showed that to the press they’d just laugh at you.”
What is wrong with our enforcement of existing cruelty laws? Are they not meant to PROTECT the dogs and not allow the people to get away with torture? Are these dogs dead now?
When is the law going to get serious?? This is not a random act of cruelty. There is no doubt that this was this abuser’s normal treatment of this dog! Did you see the dog cringe as she got close? I am just seething with anger right now!
I would give every penny I had to be given the chance to beat this woman with my bare hands. This would be worth jail time to me. Makes me physically ill and disgusted with the human race.
Will the people of kalamazoo do something with the video please. Send it to the tv news station, the paper. Expose this witch and have her suffer the consequences. Make sure that dog is removed and that she can NEVER have another animal. Watch her. Make sure she never has another animal. If she does, rescue it, take it away from her.
White TRASH should not be allowed to won dogs. ‘Nuff said.

There is much abuse everywhere / everyday. What exactly are the neighbors doing about reporting this? Would they ignore it if it was happening to a child? I know exactly what I’d like to do with that stick. She says it’s a small stick well maybe she won’t think so after she’s had a little treatement. Sounds harsh & ugly – it is. I am sick to death of these savage cruel people. The sentence is absolutely pathetic. Big Malachi, seeing you prefer using a spade on your dog, I would give you the same treatement as this moron woman but use a spade. See if you’re still so repulsive after that.!!!!
I shot this video – it was posted by Dogs Desrve Better. There is more to the video – she
is also shown kicking a puppy in the face. I have done everything I can and am now
having to deal with death threats and vandalism from the dog owners. For those of you
wishing to do something constructive, here are the e-mail links to Kalamazoo Gazette

The obviously mentally unstable person at no more dead animals is posting incorrect information – addresses and phone numbers – in a desperate attempt for negative attention. The two families who currently live at the address where the abuse took place have 3 children under the age of 5. And the point of harrassing them? If you would like to HELP these dogs, please check out the other post listing resources that could make a difference.
After serious consideration, NoMoreDeadAnimals has reconsidered its original stance on this issue.
After reading our analysis of the video and the situation, we believe that you will too.

Katherine — I have emailed letter to the links you provided. This woman is a piece of shit – DEFINITELY white trash and needs to be dealt with like she dealt with that dog. I have so many ideas of what to do with a stick on her! I hate feeling this angry towards a person but I can’t help it. Some people don’t need to breathe air!
