Residents of Tomball, TX are worried after a fifth dog was found with its legs duct taped together and evidence of some kind of sexual abuse having taken place.
The first reported incident was in early February when a woman spotted a dog in a field “hopping like a bunny.” When she investigated she found that the dog’s legs had been duct taped together but it had managed to free its front legs.
A volunteer for a Harris County-based animal rescue group who picked up the dog said she knew of several other incidents of dogs being found in that same condition.
“The sad thing about it all is these dogs have had raw, red and bloody rear ends,” the volunteer said. “I just don’t want to think what they are doing to them.”
One couple who found four of the dogs, including an abused female pitbull on March 1, cared for the dogs, fostered them and found homes for them. The female pitbull went to an animal rescue group. Unfortunately since there was no evidence for the SPCA when they were called, they really could not investigate at the time.
The couple who claim they tried to help the pit bull confirmed that they have found several dogs dumped in the same field off Hicks Street, but said the pit bull was the first one that made them think these animals may have been sexually abused.
“Until now, it never crossed my mind that could be what is happening to them,” the wife said. “Who would think anything like that.”
She believes whomever is doing this is not selecting breed specific dogs, as all four have shown no similarity, but she said they have all been female. (The Potpourri)
But the abuse hasn’t stopped…

The Tomball police department working with the Harris County District Attorney’s Special Crimes Unit, the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (animal control), and local animal rescue organizations are trying to gather enough information and evidence to lead to the prosecution of those responsible for the criminal misconduct.
Sadly, until the news broke in the local media, Tomball Police Department Chief Robert Hauck was not even aware of the crimes because no one had made any reports. Needless to say, he was frustrated.
“If I sound a little frustrated, it is because I am,” he said. “If anyone has found these dogs and are concerned about animals, our department should have been contacted.”
“We have already spoken to a volunteer with an animal shelter that is familiar with the incidents,” Hauck said. “We don’t know if this is a case of bestiality yet as the volunteer said someone could have used a foreign object or the dogs could just have very bad infections. The volunteer did say this was extreme swelling. Either way, these dogs have been duct-taped and that is abuse.”
Hauck wants anyone who knows anything or if there is another dog found, to contact the department so that they can investigate and try to find the abuser.
“We don’t know where to start patrolling, or if that is needed,” he said. “We have all of these pieces that we need to try and put together first to see what image comes out.”
The Houston Area Crime Stoppers Association is offering to establish a reward for someone who has information that could lead Tomball police to solve a serial animal cruelty investigation.
Hopefully they can find whoever is doing this and throw their sick ass in jail! What the hell is wrong with people?! There are times that I hardly know what to say, this is one of them…
I wept! I cried for these poor babies…my heart is saddened by
the POS who’se doing these VILE acts!
I prayed that G-D will take his revenge on them.
I prayed that these dogs will be protected in the hands of
the Angels!
IS THERE TRULY A GOD?
this happend 2 blocks from my home, i have 3 dogs that are outside the majority of the time…i am deeply deeply concerned
This was very disturbing to me and is a reflection of how vile our society can be. I only hope that the scums are caught a prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!!!!!!

I HOPE THAT IF THEY ARE COUGHT & THEY ARE FOUND GUILTY OF SEXUALLY ABUSING THESE DOGS, WELL I’LL PUT THIS AS PG AS I CAN, 2 PARTS OF THEIR BODY THAT WOULD FUEL THIS SICK DESIRE SHOULD BE REMOVED. THIS WAY THEY WOULD NEVER EVER FEEL THE NEED TO DO THIS TO ANOTHER DOG. I JUST HOPE THEY AIN’T DOING THIS TO ANY CHILDREN TOO.
Sick and depraved. These miscreants should be found and subject to public shameing. AND prosecuted.
No Way! How can anyone do any of these things to ANY living thing? What’s worse and even far scarier, are they doing this to children around there as well? Those poor, pups. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and extreme confusion they were feeling. This person, or persons, should be shot! And as mentioned before public humliation.
If this was a person they would be all over it. There is DNA testing, checking for semen, sure it is all over the dogs, knocking on doors, posting etc. Since it is an animal it will get the bottom posting and if a person is caught, which it sounds like a small town and a repeated occurence, so it shouldn’t be ‘too’ hard, they will probably get smacked on the hand, and sent out to do it some more. Animals are duct-taped for a reason. It’s sick.
SICK JUST SICK !!! THIS WORLD IS NOTHING SHORT OF BEING HELL
I suggest that someone hide at night and wait for the sick SOB and shoot this person when he dumps another animal but now that the location has been made public it is probably that a new dumping spot will be chosen.
Test semen go door to door posters on lamp posts
Such a person may well be a child molester as well; he must be caught and treated mentally.
According to Academic studies THERE IS A LINK BETWEEN CRUELTY TO ANIMALS and VIOLENCE TOWARDS HUMANS: 1. “Violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animals. Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives, wrote humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Murderers very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids, according to ROBERT K. RESSLER , who developed profiles of serial killers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Studies have now convinced sociologists, lawmakers, and the courts that acts of cruelty toward animals deserve our attention. They can be the first sign of a violent pathology that includes human victims.” 2. “Animal cruelty in all of its forms is above all a crime that requires as much prosecution, punishment and accountability as any other violent crime.” Sandra Brode (the Chicago Bar Association).
I am absolutely disgusted. Who is sick enough to do something like that? My heart aches at the thought of these innocent dogs being at the mercy of so sick predators. What can we do to stop that? Should we write to the police in Tomball to put some pressure on finding the criminal and be sure he will have serious consequences (jail time and not just a slap on the hand fine!) for this heinous crime.
Putting the pressure on and keeping the pressure on law enforcement is always an important step. It’s also important to be polite and firm. Too often people’s emotions get the best of them and anger just defeats the purpose.
I haven’t seen any updates on this so I don’t know where things stand now. My guess would be that nothing has turned up. I’ll see if I can find any new info.
Thanks,

These people go to the lowest level of Cocytus, where the adulterers and child molesters and rapists and corporate CEOs reside.
Jason…very good! Had to look up ‘Cocytus’. Even being raised Catholic, did not reconize this one. Wow! I guess you really said it with that one….AND the CEO’s??? Hope I never give cause or never have, to end up there. What a horribly, ugly, terrifing place. Your good…really good. Thank you for being a terrific voice for our baby’s that have none.
The scum that did this is probably less of a man that can’t get a woman. He or they should be caught and castrated. This is just plain sick. We also need to write Tombell, TX and let them know how we feel. Pressure and more pressure should work. Let them know that we are fed up and ask them what they are going to do about it.
Geez another sicko! Hope they catch the SOB and castrate him. What a sick mind.
