Women Kept As Pets
Seized pets getting care
Cool water, plenty to eat and shelter from the sweltering summer sun are the basics of life now being provided to dozens dogs and cats and a rabbit that county officials seized Monday.
Acting on an anonymous tip, county Animal Control director Michele Whaley had to muster assistance from the Humane Society of the United States and other area shelters to find temporary board and care for 76 animals rescued from a home at 109 N.C. 903 North.
Many of the canines had to be euthanized due to their deteriorated conditions, Whaley said.
A wide variety of dog breeds were discovered tethered on chains to trees, the chains wrapped around tree trunks so the dogs could not reach any of the scarce food or water. Eight cats also were being kept on the property, Whaley said.
“We found inadequate shelter, maybe half a dog house or a barrel, but even when there was a barrel, they couldn't reach it because of tether chains wrapped around the tree,” Whaley said.
“Water was inadequate, dirty and muddy. Dogs had dug holes in the mud and dirt to get to cool themselves in the ground underneath. They were covered in feces.”
It was difficult to establish just how long the animals had been living in those conditions, the animal control officer said. It took 14 hours to identify, round up and ship out the animals, she estimated.
Whaley suspects that the woman from whom the animals were taken had received many of the animals from shelters in different parts of the state and possibly other states, which would be an interstate violation, she said.
Whaley recognized the woman as someone she had intervened with almost a year ago, when the woman had about 30 animals. The woman's identity is being withheld, pending further investigation.
Two officers worked with her then to educate and help bring her standards of care up to an acceptable and legal level, Whaley said. After some time, the woman brought her standards of housing and care into compliance.
When Whaley received another complaint about conditions at the property, she dispatched an officer familiar with the case just before the July Fourth weekend. He reported conditions were worse than last year.
Whaley prepared the necessary paperwork and warrants and returned Monday with a dozen Pitt County deputies and HSUS officials to take possession of the animals, she said.
Whaley's crew used a horse trailer to transfer many of the animals. Beaufort County's shelter personnel pitched in and took control of many of them.

A woman who kept 15 dogs and two cats in a van parked in the sun outside her motel room is being arraigned today on 17 counts of animal cruelty.
Margaret Nickerson-Malpher, 71, was arrested at a Motel 6 in Massachusetts after other guests reported to staff that they had seen a woman carrying what appeared to be a dead dog from her van into her room at around 1 p.m. Nickerson-Malpher had checked in at around 7 a.m., leaving the animals in the vehicle.
Police were notified and arrived on the scene only to find a dozen or so animals struggling to breathe inside the inferno-like van. One of the officers estimated the temperature inside the vehicle to be around 135º F. Three of the dogs were in critical condition, suffering from malnourishment and dehydration.
Inside the motel room, officers found a dog that had indeed died, presumably of heat stroke. The Board of Health and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) were summoned. They spirited the three seriously ill dogs to a local animal hospital for emergency treatment.
The other dogs and the two cats were given water and treated with ice packs to bring down their body temperatures.
According to Tewksburg, Massachusetts Police Chief Timothy Sheehan, the woman told investigators she had left her summer residence in Topsfield, Maine, around 8 p.m. Monday. She was on her way back home to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when she stopped at the motel to get some sleep.
Sheehan, however, contends that Maine State Police had been investigating Nickerson-Malpher for animal abuse and were preparing to seize her animals. Nor is this the first brush this woman has had with the law regarding her treatment—or perhaps stated more correctly, mistreatment—of animals. In 2006, she was charged with animal cruelty, as a result of which 20 dogs and one cat were removed from her home. She was convicted in September of 2010 and sentenced to five years in jail. However, all but 10 days of the sentence was suspended and she was ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution.
