FLORIDA -- A pair of fetish models who allegedly filmed sex scenes featuring them torturing fish, bunnies, and chickens may never see a day in court because the statute of limitations has expired.
Sara Zamora, 28, and Stephanie Hird, 29, performed in the sickening videos roughly a decade ago. A wait that prosecutors say has left them helpless.
The pair were arrested in April after PETA found the online sex scenes, but prosecutors never filed the felony animal cruelty charges they would have otherwise faced.
Under Miami-Dade County's state attorney the statute of limitations has already expired.
Outside their Thursday court appearance in which the women were set free, Zamora said they were actually victims.
'We were 18 years old and we were manipulated into a situation that we, unfortunately, cannot take back,' she told reporters for Local 10.
Zamora and Hird blamed Adam Redford, a South Florida boat captain who they say made the videos for fetish site 'SOS Barn.'
Zamora pleasured one man while karate chopping bunnies and slitting a chicken's neck with hedge clippers in one video.
In another Hird crushed live fish with her bare hands, abused rabbits, shot rats, and set a pile of vermin ablaze all while wearing a revealing outfit, the Miami Herald reports.
After their arrest, it was reported Zamora faced eight felony charges and Hird five.
'We were manipulated and convinced that these things were alright,' Zamora said. 'And unfortunately they were very wrong and now we have to pay the consequences, even if it was 10 years ago.'
Hird added: 'The truth always comes out. I wasn’t guilty from the get-go. Those were other models.'
Redford, who is listed as a co-defendant in the case, has not been arrested.
'If you're out there Adam Redford, I hope you get everything you deserve,' Zamora told reporters.
As for those who still believe she's tortured and killed animals, Zamora had a message for them.
'They can all go to hell.'

Jones County mother, son witness kitten killed with hedge shears
MISSISSIPPI -- Right before Christmas a Jones County mother and son witnessed someone intentionally killing a kitten.
Tia Marie Puckett Brown said the scene was so horrific it was like watching a horror movie. She said they were driving home from the store on Service Road when they spotted Warren Holifield cutting up the kitten in his front yard. Brown says Holifield kept cutting up the kitten until it was dead.
"He then actually raised up the shears toward me and started using his finger to call me over to him," said Brown. "There was no way I was going near him after what I just saw happen."
Brown says she drove up the road and called 911. When the deputy arrived she told him what they had witnessed. The deputy went to the home to speak with Holifield. When he returned he told her the man admitted to killing the kitten, saying it was a stray and he was tired of it getting into the vents of his home.
Brown says the deputy told her there was not much he could do except file a report.
She said he advised her to file a complaint with Justice Court. Brown said the deputy was responsive to her complaint, but feels more could have been done.
"The only thing I do not understand why more wasn't done right there at the moment. The man did admit to the deputy he did do it."
[Yeah, it's called get that moronic deputy fired. Clearly he doesn't even know the laws he's paid to enforce.]
Lydia Sattler, State Director for the Humane Society of the United States says the Mississippi Cat and Dog Protection Act passed in 2011 states that "If a person shall intentionally torture, mutilate, maim, burn, starve, or disfigure any domesticated dog or cat or cause any person to do the same, then he or she shall be guilty of the offense of aggravated animal cruelty."
In a statement about the incident Sattler said:
"With what we know about the link between animal cruelty and human violence, this case should be taken seriously by those sworn to protect its citizens. If indeed this man chopped and sliced this kitten up because he was angry and/or frustrated with the animal as he indicated, it would be negligent to say the act is not illegal.
"If the law is written in such a way, that our law enforcement see's this act as acceptable then it's time to open up the statute again and get it right. I can't see any time where it should be acceptable or appropriate to chop an animal up alive with a tool used for yard work. I think it is shameful that this act is even being questioned as to whether it is ‘ok' or not. This is where we need good, strong, moral men and women as leaders and standing up for what is right in our state."
Brown says she has filed animal cruelty charges against Holifield in Jones County Justice Court. They informed her she will be notified when a court date is set.

UPDATE:
Holifield will appear in court Jan, 30, at 1 p.m. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated animal cruelty. If convicted he faces a fine of up to $2500 and or six-months in jail-or both.

Ohio: Pit bull attacks woman and her Beagle while they're in their own yard. Animal Control doesn't bother showing up for more than 2 hours.
OHIO -- A pit bull attacked a woman and another dog in Youngstown Friday afternoon.
Nathaniel Riggle said he and Alison Morris were clearing brush in her backyard on Shelby Road when a pit bull charged at them and the dogs in their care.
The 150 pound black and brown spotted pit bull cornered them on the back porch.
Riggle said the dog bit one of Moriss' legs and one of her beagles.
"It was extremely stressful because I was beating this dog with these cutters and it seemed to have no effect. He just kept charging at us and was determined to attack the dog and attack us," he said.
The dog described as having tags and a pink carabiner around its neck, ran away.
NO RESPONSE FROM ANIMAL CONTROL
Riggle called 911 and followed the dog in his car for about two hours waiting for Mahoning County Deputy Dog Warden Dave Nelson who was tied up on another call.
During that time, Riggle said he saw the dog attack four other dogs and go after a woman who he warned about the animal.
When Nelson did arrive, the dog was not in the area.
Nelson said there were too many incidents at the same time and not enough manpower.
What call were you on that it took you more than 2 hours to arrive? An active dog attack is a Priority 1 call. Show us your call logs and prove you were on something just as serious and not sitting in the parking lot at the shelter eating your lunch.
