MAN ARRESTED IN GENESEE COMMUNITY FOR BEATING 2 DOGS WITH METAL PIPE

Posted by on
 A man has been arrested and two dogs are recovering after being beaten with a metal pipe. Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell posted on Facebook. His deputies were dispatched over the weekend after reports of an individual beating two dogs with a metal pipe.

Deputies found both dogs with severe trauma on both sides of their face and they were several pounds underweight. One dog was chained to a tree and living in a dog house that wasn't insulated. The other dog was living in a car.
"The living conditions for the animals were horrific, with feces filling the vehicle, little protection from the single digit temperatures, and access to food and water only every 2-3 days," Pickell wrote.

Pickell said both dogs were taken immediately for treatment.
The suspect, 52-year-old Lavelle Gullette of Flint, has been arrested and charged with animal cruelty.

Pickell said his office is also working on terminating the suspect's ownership rights.

Animal abuse is truly heartbreaking, with the effects unbearable. These pictures were taken over the weekend, when the Sheriff's Office responded to reports of an individual beating two dogs with a metal pipe.

Upon arriving my deputies observed one dog chained to a tree, living in an uninsulated dog house. Another dog was living inside a broken down vehicle. Both dogs appeared to have severe trauma to both sides of their face, and were at least 10 pound underweight. They were taken immediately to be treated for their injuries.

Our investigation revealed that the individual in question struck the dogs with a metal pipe, supposedly due to the fact the dogs were locked onto one another in a fight. Each dog had fresh bite marks, as well as older bite wounds in various stages of healing. The living conditions for the animals were horrific, with feces filling the vehicle, little protection from the singe digit temperatures, and access to food and water only every 2-3 days.

The suspect was arrested, charged with animal cruelty, and our office is assisting in the termination of his ownership rights. It is my hope that once the dogs heal from their injuries they can be placed with a new owner, in a loving home. We must continue to be vigilant, to make sure this type of cruelty is never tolerated in our county.

WORLD'S OLDEST MAN DIES AT 116 IN SOUTH AFRICA

                   Fredie Blom - seen here on his 116th birthday - said there was no special secret to his longevity A South African who was thought to be the oldest man in the world has died at the age of 116. Fredie Blom's identity documents showed he was born in Eastern Cape province in May 1904, although that was never verified by Guinness World Records. When he was a teenager, his entire family was wiped out by the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. He went on to survive two world wars and apartheid. Mr Blom told the BBC in 2018 that there was no special secret to his longevity . "There's only one thing - it's the man above [God]. He's got all the power. I have nothing. I can drop over any time but He holds me," he said. Mr Blom spent most of his life as a labourer - first on a farm and then in the construction industry - and only retired when he was in his 80s.   Fredie Blom's identity documents list his date of birth as 8 May 1904 Although he gave up drinki
