## Resource

A Boston man, Lester James, faces animal cruelty charges after police discovered a horrifying scene in his apartment: a dead pit bull, multiple emaciated dogs chained and caged in filth, and no food or water. James claimed he was breeding the dogs and even told officers that one of his dogs had killed and eaten another just two weeks prior. All animals were seized and rushed to vets, while James was arrested, ordered not to own animals, and required to undergo a mental health evaluation — with bail set at $5,000 and a court date scheduled for October 20th.
