Brevard County, Fl.(Florida News Network)-Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivy proved he was a man of his word after he walked a man suspected of animal abuse into jail Wednesday live on Facebook.
The sheriff says David Fritsch left two dogs locked in the master bedroom of a home in the Canaveral Groves area for two weeks without feeding them. Both dogs died. These poor animals were literally eating furniture and their own feces trying desperately to stay alive, and the guy did nothing to give them food, to give them water, to help them in any capacity.”
