  • Full interview from Claire Jones and myself from the “Justice for Tank” animal cruelty case. This was a case we advocated for the maximum sentence possible. Steven Eldridge was given 1 year and a $1,000 fine for locking “Tank” the dog in a bathroom with no food or water. Tank’s kidneys shut down after the water ran out in the toilet bowl and slowly he died. It was an agonizing death. Slow and painful. Steven Eldridge did this on purpose. Let that sink in. He admitted to police it was to spite his ex-wife. He also gave other excuses like “I lost the keys to the apartment” and “the new place would not accept animals”. Pathetic! We will continue to be the voice for the voiceless!!! We will continue to advocate for the harshest punishments for these crimes towards animals!!! If you’d like to get involved please contact us on Facebook @ AME Animal Rescue. Help us save lives and put scum bags that hurt animals behind bars where they belong!
    Thank you Claire Jones for her intrepid reporting and her love for animals.
    Thanks to our friends at the Mylo Foundation, Alaqua Animal Refuge, and 30A Cats.
    A special thanks to Florida States Attorney Angela Liles and her office for prosecuting these cases to the fullest extent of the law!

      yes. but bidenomics. I had an old my baby fluff, knew words on flash cards all his clothes and relatives, got when 2.5 lbs, got to 12 lbs, last rabies shot 16 his last until then he still got out his clothes and played. Down hill fast, the meds needed very expensive and on going, I was a year calling, begging Anyone to take him give him 2 more years Bichons can live a long time, and he was such a joy, my heart aches for him. Someone finally said yes, but that wasn't their intentions, it seemed, although my boy was pretty down after a year of begging. He even still tried to play our mirror game, he was way down in weight. Growing up had dogs and they loved me, always go to my room,... And I loved them dearly, but this boy came good and a clown, the love of my life. It didn't help that people many, decided I didn't need what I'd worked for was working towards.

Just think of how much abuse and neglect could be eliminated with a national registry. Laws also need to be changed to harsher punishment for neglect and abuse. Animals are not property, they are family!

    It's frustrating how common this actually is. Trashy people move, leave their pets inside and don't look back. Sometimes they're found days later, hungry and confused. Sometimes nobody gets there in time. We adopted a very sweet gsd mix who was left behind like that. Can't believe somebody would trap such a charming girl in a house like that. But she was lucky it wouldn't be months later someone opened the door.
