Step.- El Paso Animal Services announces the arrest of a woman in a significant animal cruelty case, the City announced in a statement.
On June 22, 2024, the El Paso Police Department (EPPD) arrested Erika Treviño for an outstanding warrant related to cruelty to non-food animals.
The El Paso Animal Services Field Protection Division and the El Paso Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit conducted the cruelty investigation.
In August 2023, El Paso Animal Protection Officers and Detectives from the EPPD Animal Cruelty Unit investigated an abandonment case where a female dog, now known as Eva, was left in a ditch, injured and ready to die. Through a thorough investigation, Detectives were able to identify the suspect. The case is currently in litigation and no further details can be released at this time.
In her new home, Eva found love and comfort. She can now enjoy long walks, fun games on the green grass and warm hugs with her new family. Eva is healing and thriving, a testament to the resilience of animals and the power of compassion, the statement said.
“This arrest marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to combat animal cruelty in our community,” said Field Animal Protection Manager Gina Ramirez.
“We are committed to ensuring that those who mistreat animals are held accountable for their actions. We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Investigator in Charge of the El Paso Police Department’s Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit, who played a crucial role in seeking justice for Eva and in seeking prosecution to the fullest extent of the law,” he added.
For the agency, residents play a crucial role in our efforts to combat animal cruelty.
The community is asked to report any suspected cases of animal abuse or neglect by calling 311 or 911 in cases of cruelty in progress. Everyone’s vigilance and willingness to provide relevant contact information and statements can help bring justice to victims of animal cruelty.
“Together, we can ensure that all animals in our community are treated with the kindness and respect they deserve,” the press release concludes.
