animal cruelty

North Carolina-based Animal Victory is rallying its 200,000 newsletter subscribers to urge Elkhart County Prosecutor Vicki Becker to refile felony animal cruelty charges against Jayco RV workers John Lipscomb, Travis McKay and Arlin Hochstetler. Court records say the men told police they intentionally killed two cats in a trash compactor because they were a nuisance at the Middlebury plant.

As fireworks light up the skies ahead of the 4th of July, the St. Joseph County Humane Society says it’s already seeing a rise in runaway pets, and their shelter is full.

Humane Society of Elkhart County Executive Director Rob Laroy says the shelter had plenty of room for cats when Jayco RV workers instead decided to kill them in a trash compactor.

Elkhart County Prosecutor Vicki Becker says her office erred in the wording of a probable cause affidavit, which inaccurately said that Jayco RV operations vice president Devon Miller believed killing the cats in the compactor was in the company's interest.
