Man charged after abandoning dogs and leaving them to starve to death

NORTH CAROLINA -- On November 21st, Tory Devoe Lane, 23, of 107 Flynt St., was charged with one count of felony cruelty to animals and one count of cruelty to animals, $5,000 unsecured bond, Jan. 3. (The Dispatch - Nov 21, 2012)

History of this case:
"The owners moved out of their house a week ago and put these two dogs in a small cage/box on their back porch and never came back for them.

"When AC Officer Fritts found them the female had recently died and the male was on death's door. He rushed him to Davidson Animal Hospital but it was too late. His temperature was so low it would not even register, his breathing was shallow and barely there at all, his heartbeat was irregular and hardly beating. There was nothing they could do and it was obvious that this boy was suffering greatly, so they had to euthanize him to save him from anymore pain. It is so sad that this act was probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him-ending his life to save him from more pain.

In this bag there are two adult Pit Bulls,
both under 20lbs in weight

"We need help in covering the expenses for the autopsies of these 2 victims. We are currently operating in the negative region. The autopsies usually run in the $125-$160 range a piece but it is imperative to have this evidence in court so people who do these horrible acts can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and be banned from ever owning another animal again. We only wish they could have been found sooner, maybe then they could have had a chance to experience compassion, love, and the joys of being a dog.

"We are not going to let these 2 cruelty victims go without a name even though they are deceased. Abel will be the male's name and Eden the female's.

"RIP Abel and Eden, we are so sorry for the way you were treated. See you on the other side, we hope you are finally being shown the love you should have known all along."
