ASPCA does another great job!
It’s good to see press releases like this for many reasons. First of all, it just shows the great work that the ASPCA is going to help stop animal abuse and neglect. Secondly, it is good to see that crimes such as animal abuse are getting more by way of punishment.
NEW YORK, July 18, 2008—Humane Law Enforcement agents of the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) arrested Tiffany Lewis of Brooklyn on July 16 for neglecting her six-year-old pit bull. ASPCA Special Debbie Ryan responded to a complaint inside an apartment at1516 Jefferson Avenue on May 17 and discovered a starved dog locked inside. The dog, Clark, was emaciated, weak and suffering from an untreated ear infection. There was no food or water. Lewis, 28, of 562 Evergreen Avenue, was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty and faces up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Clark has since been released to the ASPCA and renamed “Clark Kent.” He is expected to be made available for adoption in the near future.
I really hope that Clark Kent will find a forever home soon!

I wish people would start realized that a dog is not a toy that you ignore when you have a new fun things to think off. Thanks ASPCA.
I can’t believe this terrible woman’s actions. How can she possibly do this to a poor animal? I just don’t understand.
Thank you ASPCA for your great work.
I hope this woman gets the maximum penalty by the law. They should starve her in jail just like she starved this poor helpless dog.
I would really like to see her do time in jail just as an example to other people who might neglect their dogs.
