P.S. 16 teacher Ana Herra was arrested by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement agents yesterday for misdemeanor animal cruelty after neglecting her dog so badly she needed to be put down. Neighbors in Corona reportedly called the ASPCA to report a matted dog, and agents found Julie, a mixed breed dog around 13-years-old, so weak and matted that she was unable to stand.
Herra, a 47-year-old teacher at P.S. 16, was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty and could face up to a year in jail. Julie had to be humanely euthanized due to her compromised health, including bladder disease. In February, two other Queens women were arrested on animal cruelty charges, and recently a Brooklyn teenager was arrested for killing her little brother's hamster. Can't we all just agree to not get pets unless we know we're going to take care of them?
