Virginia woman arrested after horrible animal cruelty discovery in Hampton

On Monday Night New Jersey State Troopers were called to the parking lot in front of Marshall's in Hampton Township. Concerned shoppers noticed several dogs running free in front of the store. There was also a stench coming from a pick-up truck nearby. What police discovered was a horrible example of animal cruelty. There were 40 dead dogs and cats in plastic bags inside the truck. Over 40 other dogs and cats were still alive inside the truck. They were hungry, thirsty and living in filthy conditions. Several animal rescue groups were called to assist with the dogs and cats. According to Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge 38 dogs and 8 cats are now under the care of local animal shelters. Newton and Blairstown Animal Hospitals are working with rescuers.

The owner of the truck is 53 year old Lynn Leonard from Bloxom, Virginia. She has been charged with animal cruelty and released with a future court date. It is believed Leonard had the animals in her truck as she drove from Virginia though Pennsylvania and into New Jersey. Ramapo Bergen Animal Rescue is asking for donations to help care for the suffering animals. Eventually, the dogs and cats that can be brought back to good health will need good homes.
