A West Philadelphia woman, Jamie Rutledge, 30, was found guilty of one count of animal cruelty after she failed to feed her dog, a German Shepherd which resulted in the dog’s death.
The German shepherd was found on January 9th after a complaint of a dead dog on Rutledge’s property was filed with the Pennsylvania SPCA. When the PSPCA arrived on scene, the dog who was deceased appeared to be emaciated.
A necropsy proved the cause of death was starvation.
Rutledge admitted she stopped feeding the dog because she was afraid of him.
Rutledge who did not show up for her court date was ordered to pay a $750 fine, and is prohibited from owning an animal for period of 90 days.

What the hell man? Stop feeding her! I can’t believe people anymore.
What a hideous thing to do. Her right to have a pet should be stripped from her for life.
Stop feeding the bitch and let her starve
Oh my God! How could she watch her dog die in front of her eyes? She should never be allowed to have pets! Ever!
There’s definitely something fundamentally wrong with this world and society. Having no regard for another living being is unconscionable.
There’s a special place in hell for women who do this to animals!
What a sick person. I can’t imagine the pain this dog endured while starving to death. I think she should starve herself to know what her dog went through. This makes me ill.
So sickening to read someone could this to their own pet. She has to have a screw loose to do this. I am so mad!
jerk. I can’t write what I honestly feel.
