“进一步调查显示，平诺克在运输这些动物时曾途经多个州。副警长还发现其存在违反许可规定的行为，以及与佛罗里达州此前一起虐待动物逮捕记录相关的限制。有关部门已联系联邦野生动物当局，以确定是否发生了其他违规行为，”该贴文补充道。
Who was Tim O’Connor? Pennsylvania state trooper shot dead during traffic stop; Gov. Josh Shapiro pays tribute“Several animals were confined in overcrowded or undersized containers that restricted their movement. Deputies also observed accumulated feces and urine, inadequate ventilation, and a lack of accessible food and water,” El Paso County Sheriff Oscar Ugarte shared on Facebook.“Further investigation revealed that Pinnock had traveled through multiple states while transporting the animals. Deputies also identified licensing violations and restrictions associated with a previous animal cruelty arrest in Florida. Federal wildlife authorities were contacted to determine whether additional violations had occurred,” the post added.
