Kennett couple cited for animal neglect
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Animals, particularly domesticated ones, have such a way of offering up unconditional love, that it seems almost inconceivable anyone could purposefully harm them. It is even worse when the animal being abused was once a service dog. However, that is reportedly at the heart of a matter currently in the hands of the Kennett Humane Department (KHD). KHD Officer, Tena Petix, said the recent case clearly illustrates the fact that animal cruelty and neglect is an urgent, ongoing problem within the Kennett city limits.
