A south Georgia man, Donald Tumor, is facing nine felony counts of animal cruelty after investigators made a horrendous discovery in his back yard. They found a pen holding 9 dogs, 4 of them dead and the remaining 5 in such bad shape they will have to be euthanized.
“The animals we found dead, other dogs were in the pen living with the dead animals,” said Martha Ann Coe, Terrell Co. Code Enforcement Dir.
“Four dead animals were removed from one pen, and we have five more that were alive that were removed they were in such bad shape they will have to be euthanized,” said Lt. Gene Shattles, Dawson Police Department.
“The feces within the pen was approximately a foot deep you could not even get the doors on the kennels open because of the feces,” said Coe.
“One female dog that was in the pen she was 3/4 decayed and the puppies were still in form but they were deceased for a while,” said Shattles.
Tumor said he’d had the adult dogs for 2-4 years.
“When I asked him why it was like this he stated very calmly he had not been able to get outside for the past few days because of the rain,” said Coe.
“I asked him several times why he didn’t remove the animals or call for help and he said he just forgot about them,” said Shattles.
They also found two more dogs, an adult and puppy running loose on the property that were skittish and and very aggressive.
How does someone forget about 9 dogs who had to have been barking and crying and whining as they starved and suffered? Someone throw this POS in the same pen he had all those poor dogs locked up in and forget about him!!
The courts are not harsh enough. We need to make them accountable for their horrific actions. It sickens me so. The public needs to write the officials and get the punishments to account for their crimes.
I will write to help convict this non-human….it is so unfair that these dogs have no choice but to accept the way someone treats them. At least humans can complain and call 911 and report abuse but these poor dogs just have to suffer and die without ever knowing what life should be about. I will try to find contact info to write…
OMG!!! I can’t even find the words….. Sick, sick bastard!! Put him in prison and throw away the key! Oh yeah, and then forget him. No food, no water, no nothing!
And Barbara, the sad thing is that even doing that would not be justice, because this guy deserves it while his poor dogs did not.
Pat, I do not think it is local officials. I think the need for harsher punishments needs to be nation wide. The government has to take a second look at these abuse cases.
I am sorry, how can anyone forget about 9 dogs? I wish I could have more dogs to give love to, and I tell you they would be as spoiled as the boys I have now are. The fact that their pen was in a disgusting state filled with feces – what the hell is wrong with that man? Did he forget to feed himself, and clean his toilet/bathroom? What a sorry excuse for a human being.
OMG….this has got to STOP!!!! DAMN! Those poor, helpless baby’s. Give that Bastard to me…I’ll gladly take care of him. Where are you wpsflyboy???? Need to hear your comment on this one. Sick, sick SOB…POS. I hope this horrible (“I forgot about them”) a**** dies a horrible, painful, sickening, long, death….and while he’s dying, he will have constant pictures of those poor baby’s suffering and being murdered.
