‘Serial animal abuser’ pleads guilty to animal cruelty charges: PSPCA
Updated Feb 26, 2021;
A known “serial animal abuser” is under probation, and cannot own animals, for the next 10 years, the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced Friday.
Ammon Stoltzfus, of Honey Brook in Chester County, pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty stemming from the deaths of several dogs on his property. He is a kennel owner.
“While we can never take back the pain and suffering these dogs endured, we can provide the justice they deserve and additionally ensure that no other animal be harmed by Stoltzfus’ hand,” said Nicole Wilson, Director of Humane Law Enforcement. “We can assure you that we take our inspection rights very seriously.”
