Stratham, NH – On Thursday, August 31, 2023, the New Hampshire SPCA assisted a local Police Department and the State Department of Agriculture following the service of a search warrant at a home. The owner was not on the property when police arrived and the animals and the home were found to be in horrifying conditions.  The Department of Agriculture ordered the animals to be removed. The New Hampshire SPCA took the animals into protective custody.  This case comes on the heels of a case last week where 35+ animals were surrendered following an investigation.

The conditions at the property were overwhelming.  “It was horrible,” said one of the NHSPCA staff members on site.  “The stench in the house was unbearable and the condition of the animals was heartbreaking.”  The animals taken in by the NHSPCA were 5 dogs including a Great Dane, 8 cats, 10 rabbits, 2 turtles, an African Grey parrot, 8 donkeys, 2 mini-donkeys, 6 goats, a sheep and a horse.  Other animals taken to partner shelters included 3 additional dogs, dozens of farm fowl, a cow and a snake.

Tona McCarthy, Humane Agent and Cruelty Investigator for the NHSPCA said that the animals were found without food or water, rabbits were in crates caked with waste, dogs were found in filthy crates that were too small for their size, cat litter boxes were overflowing. The authorities from the Department of Agriculture ordered the animals removed based on the condition of the animals and the condition of the site. 

The New Hampshire SPCA already has 163 animals in its care as of this morning.  The additional 39 animals coming from this case will once again push the organization well over 200 in care.  “This case is appalling.  The photos were absolutely nauseating.  Many of the animals appear to be severely underweight, filthy and have as yet, undiagnosed medical conditions,” said Lisa Dennison, Executive Director. “The donkeys had hooves that haven’t seen a farrier in so long that they are curling back on themselves and were clearly in terrible pain simply trying to walk.  The ram hasn’t been shorn and was a mass of mud and muck.  What makes it all even worse is that as of now, they now have to be held in protective custody while the court case begins.  State law allows for a court decision to be made within 14 days.  However, often, that deadline passes and the animals remain in protective custody for many months.”

 The New Hampshire SPCA is asking for the community’s assistance in caring for these animals. If you would like to help with the cost of care and to help ensure their recovery, please make a tax-deductible contribution to the SOS FUND by going to www.nhspca.org.  A direct link to the SOS Fund https://www.classy.org/checkout/donation?eid=127496 .  Gifts to the SOS Fund can also be made by phone at 603-772-2921 x 120

UPDATE FROM PORTSMOUTH POLICE

At 12:52 A.M. on the morning of August 26th, 2023, the Portsmouth Police Department responded to an assault involving multiple people in the area of Hanover Street. The assault occurred between the Portsmouth Gaslight and the Portsmouth Parking Garage on Hanover Street.

Initial information from on-scene accounts is that the confrontation began upstairs at the Gaslight Night Club with a group of males yelling at the male victim and the group he was with. Additional witnesses advised that once the victim was outside the Gaslight, the group of males assaulted the victim by the High Hanover Parking Garage entrance on Hanover Street. The victim was able to get away from the group after being assaulted and went into the parking garage. At least one of the members of the assailant group continued into the parking garage in pursuit of the male victim.

According to eyewitness testimony, the male victim continued walking away in the High Hanover Parking Garage and then attempted to climb onto the rail of the parking garage. While climbing over the rail, he fell from the parking garage to the sidewalk below on Hanover Street. 

The male was immediately transported to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

The Medical Examiner and Rockingham County Attorney’s Office are working with the Portsmouth Police Department Investigative Division to further investigate this case. 

The Portsmouth Police Department is asking for assistance from anyone who may have witnessed the assault, or the fall or may have video in the areas of the incident.

Please contact Dave Keaveny, Captain of the Investigative Division, at 603 610-7511 with any relevant information. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
