Susanna Burhans, an Alabama mail carrier, is under arrested and facing animal cruelty charges after she was caught feeding dogs along her route meat treats spiked with nails and other harmful ingredients.
Area pet owner, Ed Glover, showed local news outlets the meatball filled with nails he said he found by his mailbox. Madison County Sheriff’s deputies charged Burhans, 47, with aggravated animal cruelty after they say she fed meaty treats with dangerous ingredients to area dogs.
Ed Glover found one of the meatballs on the ground by his mailbox at his New Hope home and discovered that the meatball was filled with nails. He believes the mail carrier had already fed one to his dog, Missy. He became worried about Missy and took her to the veterinarian. Glover showed x-rays he says were taken that day, and nails are clearly visible inside the dog’s stomach. Glover is happy Burhans was charged. He said he wants the system to do what is right, so no other pets can be harmed, and that Burhans does not return to her job as a mail carrier. h/t
