The CEO of an animal rescue group in South Carolina was arrested after the bodies of 30 decomposing animals were found at her home, according to officials.
Officers were called to conduct a welfare check at the Columbia home of Caroline Dawn Pennington, 47, following a complaint that it "smelled of death."
She was arrested Friday and charged with 30 counts of ill treatment of animals after 30 decomposing animals — 28 dogs and two cats — were found in cages and crates in her home, officials said. They discovered the decomposing animals inside and found they had been dead for a “significant amount of time,” appearing to have died from “starvation and dehydration,” the sheriff’s office said.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott called the discovery one of the worst cases of animal cruelty he’d seen. Now officials are looking into GROWL, asking anyone who has made documented donations to the nonprofit group in the last 12 months to contact the sheriff's department.
