I’m pretty much at a loss for words right now after doing all these updates on animal cruelty crimes. Only a *minute amount* of these convictions come with stiff sentences. The rest of them are no different than being lectured by a High School Principal.
Tanya Martin
This fugly mug hog-tied her little Yorkie with speaker wires to a phonebook and set it on fire. She has a history of mental illness dating back to her teens. Here is Deanna’s original story.
Tanya Marie Martin was sentenced to ten years probation and 45 days in jail. Terms and conditions of her probation include that she cannot be a caregiver to an animal and that she not use drugs or alcohol. The medication prescribed for her mental illness will be closely monitored.
Denise Withee and Roland Bowling
In the sad case of the 23 dead dogs dumped in a field:
Denise Withee was convicted on 3 counts of felony animal neglect and abandonment and was sentenced to five years of probation. She was also ordered to seek psychiatric care and is not allowed to own any dogs while on probation. If she violates her probation, she will spend 180 days in jail.
Rowland Bowling
Animal cruelty charges dismissed, But he was sentenced to time served after pleading no contest to two counts of misdemeanor false reporting. Bowling gave investigators false information during their investigation of Denise Withee.
Linda Kapsa
Seems like the law did catch up to Linda Kapsa, the Montana dog breeder with a history of animal abuse and neglect. Check out Deanna’s original post.
Linda Kapsa pleaded no contest to one felony count of aggravated animal cruelty and was sentenced to serve 20 years with all time suspended. She will spend no time in jail. She was also ordered that she keep no more than three spayed or neutered dogs as companions during that twenty years and a probation officer will be able to visit the property at anytime to check on the welfare of the animals.
Kapsa will also be able to keep several goats, chickens, horses, and cockatiels. She was ordered to pay $120,000 dollars in restitution – $50 dollars every month for the next 20 years.
With the exception of Tanya Martin, these serious crimes against numerous animals resulted in no jail time. Color me surprised. Many of these offenders will duck under the radar and re-offend. Mark my words, we’ll be hearing about these idiots again.
I was dead on in my previous article. Aliens have undoubtedly infiltrated our highest form of government.

Thanks Andrea! I just have no words any more. Animal abusers seem to merit no punishment, no justice for the abused, mained, tortured, killed. When is the judicial system even going to see the connection between animal abuse and violence against people, for those who, sadly, don’t give a damn about animals.
I agree Andrea, these vile pieces of trash will be back again… and I dread to hear what their future crimes will be. 
I have no words……………….:(
Ok. so your telling me that if a human being did something to another human they go to jail mental crap shit. now an animal is tied burned and this wacko so she seems in thepic gets of plea is insanity no way in hell do i believe that shit. I know lots of people with that disorder friends they have animals they would never ever do anything to harm them. but this person knew what she was doing and was tired of the dog barking or whatever so she took it up herself to do something terrible. I dont believe her mental illness plea at all. as for all the other mental cases they should be taken down jailed. stiffer pentalties. dogs are beings too.
mental illness bull. This wasted POS needs to be done away with. All these slim bags need to be done away with. I am so tired of our judicial system, it makes me puke. When are people going to realize that animals have feelings just like humans. I know, cause when I scold my little furry baby for digging in the mud, she won’t even look at me. No kisses, no nothing. And that is just scolding her. People need to be made aware of what is going on. Is our society so blind they just don’t care? If that is the case, we are in serious trouble here. We need to get a petition to the White House and get our President to do something. He supports all these worthless causes, so why shouldn’t he support something worthwhile.
The sad facts of the matter MOEGO1 is that we are in serious trouble and a large majority of the humane ( another word I use lightly) race doesn’t give a damb about anything but – Whats in it for them or Me Me Me Me. Yes I would be safe in saying that we are in serious trouble : ( Be still my heart.
Look at their faces. Evil demented monsters. Words cannot express the outrage ggggrrrr
Bring back vigilante justice!!!!!
AMEN ~ to that one Lisa : )
When will this country wake up and realize that the lives of these precious companion animals have VALUE and the crimes against them should come with punishments suitable to the crimes. I’m sick to death of seeing these slaps on the wrist and the scolding of “don’t do it again”. Unless and until the laws are changed, the animals don’t stand a chance with monsters like these. There were 65 dogs involved with Withee, numerous counts and she walks away. No dogs while she’s on probation? How about EVER? Lordy it makes me sick to see this kind of injustice when those poor babies suffered so badly at the hands of these sickos.
The justice ( and I use the term lightly) system. They let these inhumane creatures back loose on an unsespecting society, way to frequently, but all of you notice that they make sure they get that fine. Boy howdy. They have to keep turning them loose, how else are they going to keep garenteeing that future revenue? Allways ends up about the money, doesn’t it? And people wonder what is wrong with this world : (
Yeah. Another one that’s apparently about a half bubble off plumb.
Seems like the ones that need to be on meds the most are the very ones that are the most non-compliant. This in spite of the fact that their daily routines go much more smoothly when they do what they’re supposed to do. It’s a little like stickin’ your hand in a fire once a week, and then wonderin’ why you’ve got blisters.
More to send to that island. Whoops! That one’s probably full. Need another one. I am so sick of these slaps on the hand! A bunch of bull! I do see a trend in the reports now though. I see far more reports on TV of abuse on animals and that state going after those individuals involved. Then, of course, we now have “RESCUE INC”! And I truly believe, that group will stretch out, clear across the states. I think we ARE moving forward to rescue and save our beautiful creatures of God. It works, it works, it works…….we just need to keep being their voice. Someone out there, is obviously listening.
Jess, I do believe people are listening and things are changing, slowly but surely but we definitely do need to keep our voices raised and not get lazy. I believe people are getting more responsible about reporting animal cruelty and that charges are more often being filed than ever before. The problem is with the judicial system and punishment. Yes, I know prisons are full and it costs to incarcerate people but there are answers out there and models that could be followed. The legal system just needs to stop being so pansy-assed and get harsh and serious about criminals. They’re criminal!! Treat them as such!
