CHARLOTTE COUNTY (WSNN) – A Port Charlotte woman has been arrested for torturing two dogs. A warning, this story is disturbing.
Charlotte County deputies arrested Morgan Bright on Monday for five counts of animal cruelty.
The incident happened last year on July 28th.
The lead investigator tells SNN, a team went to an evicted home where they found two dogs … The one named Cash was found dehydrated, malnourished, and loaded with fleas. The other dog named Riddick was found dead.
The officer says Cash was so hungry he was eating the flesh and bones off of Riddick’s body.
“I have not come across a deceased animal that looked like that,” Charlotte County Animal Control Officer Matthew Meredith said. “Between the fact that he was being eaten and the fact that he was already at a prolonged part of decay so to speak, that was one of the worst things that I have seen as far coming upon a domestic animal inside of a house looking like that.”
Bright is charged with two counts of animal cruelty, two counts of animal abandonment, and one count of unlawful disposal of dead animals.
Her bond is set at 26,000 dollars.
The good news for Cash; he was recently adopted into a new home.
