ETOWAH COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) – Two people have been charged with animal cruelty in Etowah County after a video was found on social media.
According to Sheriff Jonathon Horton, on Saturday morning, June 29, 2024, the Etowah County Sheriff’s Office was told about a video on social media of cruel treatment of a dog.
By Saturday afternoon, investigators identified all the people they say were involved in the incident and the weapon that was used was recovered.
Two people have been charged. One of those people is a juvenile and wasn’t named because of their age.
The second person accused is 18-year-old Trenton Dewayne Sudberry of Gadsden.
Sudberry was arrested and charged with animal cruelty. He was taken to the Etowah Co. Detention Center to await bond.
Officials say “Bullet” is back home with his family and is safe as of Sunday night. “Bullet” will be examined, but appears to be in good spirits and should make a good recovery.
“It’s unfortunate that animals are mistreated! Animals cannot speak up, so we have to make sure we do our best to take care of them and be their voice. Animal cases are just as important as any case we work,” said Sheriff Horton.
Well said Sheriff Horton !

Although animals actually DO speak, humans just ignore them. I’d also add to the sheriff that ALL animals consumed are violently “mistreated”.
