Sarah Wilson of Bradenton, Florida was recently arrested for moving out of her apartment and callously leaving her cat and two small dogs behind to suffer and die slow and agonizing deaths from dehydration. We must act now to ensure she pays with felony convictions and that she is never entrusted with animal companions again!

On January 16, 2018, a maintenance worker entered Wilson's apartment to complete some repairs. The maintenance worker noted the apartment was covered in feces and urine, observed the animals had no water, and noted that it appeared that the apartment had been vacated. The maintenance worker filled the water bowls for the animals and notified management. Apartment management emailed Wilson and she responded back that the animals were being cared for.

Over a month later, on February 26, apartment complex staff once again entered Wilson's apartment to inquire about non-payment of rent. What they found shocked and horrified them - all three animals were dead.

Confronted over email about the grisly scene, Wilson responded that the animals likely died from flea medication she had applied. However, a necropsy determined all three animals died of dehydration. Wilson was arrested and charged in the deaths.

Her dismissive behavior and callous attitude about the horrific deaths of her animals is shocking, especially given that the incredible amounts suffering these animals endured was easily preventable. If she could no longer care for the animals, she certainly could have surrendered them to the safety of a local animal rescue.

Help us ensure Sarah Wilson pays for her crimes with felony convictions and that she is never allowed to have animal companions again.
