Michigan Woman Faces Animal Cruelty Charges After Letting Her Six Month Old Puppy Freeze To Death

Pet lovers know that animals are just like people.

Our beloved pets may not be able to tell us when they are cold, tired, or hungry, but that doesn’t mean they don’t experience these feelings. Because most of us know how animals SHOULD be treated, it comes as shock to us when we see them living in awful conditions.

Take, for example, a Michigan woman who let her six-month-old Pit Bull freeze to death earlier this month. Roxanne Grochoske of St. Joseph’s County left her puppy out all night in the cold. The puppy was found dead Jan. 11 when drivers passing by the home saw something unusual.

Earlier that night, St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department had been receiving calls, but by the time they showed up, it was already too late.

You can hear the tragic story of the poor Pit Bull below:

Stories like this are particularly troublesome because no creature should have to fend for itself in the cold. Perhaps the most upsetting part is that this story isn’t the only one of its kind. A few days later, a Tennessee woman was charged with the same offense, killing two Great Pyrenees mixes.

This behavior is unacceptable so please SHARE this story so people know of the atrocities taking place and what they can do to be aware. If you have any confusion about how to keep your animal safe and warm in the winter, we are here for you.
