Chesterfield man gets 80 days jail-time for starving dogs

CHESTERFIELD, VA, July 26 - A Chesterfield man will spend 80-days in jail for allowing six dogs to starve to death. The pictures and the details are very graphic and disturbing. The man and his parents went before the judge today. Authorities say the dogs were neglected to the point that the mother dog had to resort to eating some of her puppies in order to stay alive.

The pictures of emaciated, bone thin puppies and their mother were used this morning in the case against 22-year-old Jeremey Motes and his parents Lemuel and Marsha Motes.
It was a neighbor that alerted the authorities to the mother dog and the puppies that were lifeless. A number of animals were left, apparently they had been starved and the mother had eaten some of the puppies.
It was at his home on Turkey Oak Road that investigators say the dogs were kept outside in a metal pen, often shivering, with no water or food. All, but the mother and one puppy, died.

Jeremy Motes, the asshole who did it:mad:

Jeremy Motes, the dogs' owner was found guilty of eight counts of animal cruelty. His parents' case has been suspended.
Melinda Burnette lives around the corner and was in the courtroom. "When you have an animal in your home, your yard, your property. If you're not legally, and I think that's what they're debating, whether you're legally responsible? Maybe not, but morally responsible? Absolutely," Jeanne Bridgeforth, Save Our Shelters.
Jeremy Motes has plans to appeal. His mother and father go before judge in September. Then the question will be decided if they are legally responsible, although they did not own the dogs.
