59-year-old Deborah Calwell pleads guilty to animal cruelty during court Fox News.

The term that she had to spend in prison was 174 days, taking into account the period that she had already spent in custody. She will have to remain on probation for seven months after her release.

“We were upset that she did not receive more than a year in prison. On the other hand, given what is happening in the modern world and the punishment system, we are probably lucky that we got a prison sentence at all,” said Janine Bahr, president of the Society's OutKasts Animal Rescue, where five of Culwell's dogs are currently housed. .

Calwell’s case has sparked outrage from animal rights activists. She was arrested on 22 on April 2019 after she was identified on the basis of surveillance cameras.

The record shows how a woman drove up to a trash can near a store in Coachella and threw away her bag.

A few minutes later, the man found seven puppies in the trash. He took them to a nearby auto parts store, where there was air conditioning, and notified law enforcement.

Puppies were very dehydrated during detection. A week later, one of them died.

During a search of Calwell’s house, investigators found 38 more dogs. They were transferred to local animal rescue teams.
