OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — In January, 88 living and 40 deceased animals, including dogs and other domestic animals, were recovered from an Omaha home. The Nebraska Humane Society (NHS) says it was granted a court-authorized search warrant to seize any animals being kept in violation of Cruelty to Animals laws. Some of the animals recovered were severely neglected, according to the NHS.
Following an investigation, the NHS requested felony warrants for two people residing at that home. It said in a news release that Sierra Lang, 30, and Tramaine Thomas, 35, have been arrested on animal cruelty charges by the Metro Area Fugitive Task Force.
"The Nebraska Humane Society would like to thank the Omaha Police Department, other members of the Fugitive Task Force, and the Douglas County Attorney’s Office for their assistance during this investigation and their commitment to the safety and wellbeing of animals in our community," the NHS in a statement.
