The Humane Society of the United States is helping the Hertford County Sheriff's Office with rescuing nearly 100 dogs and puppies from a breeding farm.
The details are horrendous and we wonât dwell on them.
Suffice it to say that a Winston-Salem man, Caleb Daniel Dewald, 19, is facing multiple charges of animal cruelty after being linked to torturing and killing several small animals, including three squirrels and a possum.
He captured them in metal cages. Two, he drowned. One, he set on fire. Another, he crushed under heavy weights.
As if thatâs not bad enough, he recorded himself subjecting the animals to this torture and posted the recordings on social media â for what sick audience, we donât know.
Fortunately, someone reported him to Crime Stoppers of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County, leading to his arrest. And PETA provided police with videos of Dewald killing the animals. âThese videos are incredibly disturbing and anyone who engages in this kind of behavior is a clear and present danger to the community,â Kristin Rickman, an Emergency Response Division Manager in PETAâs Cruelty Investigation
