Lacey
From Kern County Animal Control:
"The Bakersfield Police Department responded to a report of animal cruelty and located Lacey, a 6 ½ pound mixed breed which was tethered on a short leash to a tree. Lacey was reportedly struck in the mouth with a golf club, had her eyes sprayed with bleach and was left untreated. Lacey’s owner was arrested for animal cruelty among other charges. Officers took Lacey to Animal Emergency and after Lacey was stabilized Monday, she was transported to Coffee Road Veterinary Hospital where she remains today undergoing surgery and treatment to save her eyesight." Kern County Animal Control is one of the largest organizations in the Central Valley that rescues, houses and cares for some 32,000 lost and abandoned animals annually, enforces animal-related laws and acts to prevent cruelty to animals. |
