Two arrested after 25 dogs rescued from crates and 13 found dead in freezers
- Two women, Christine Abbott, 67, and Donna Slavin, 65, from Snellville, Georgia, have been arrested on 26 animal cruelty charges.
- The charges stem from an investigation that uncovered 13 dead dogs stored in refrigerators and 25 living dogs kept in small, unsanitary cages at their home.
- Gwinnett County Animal Control initiated the investigation in September, with police assistance, after receiving allegations of animal cruelty.
- Police described the scene as "horrific," with many surviving animals found underweight, malnourished, and living in cages filled with faeces and urine.
- Both women are currently held at Gwinnett County Jail on a $16,000 bond each, while the rescued dogs are being cared for at the county animal shelter.
