Mohammad Aluauddin has been charged with 45 counts of Animal Cruelty in the first degree
VANCOUVER – Clark County Animal Protection and Control with support of the Sheriff’s Office facilitated the seizure and rescue of 26 goats, 5 sheep, and 14 chickens. Mohammad Aluauddin has been charged with 45 counts of Animal Cruelty in the first degree.
The most recent case began back in May of 2023 when Animal Protection and Control started receiving complaints about how several goats appeared malnourished and were living in poor conditions. Over time, conditions worsened, and the number of animals increased. A break in the case came when a neighbor reported one of the goats escaped off the property which provided sufficient evidence to obtain a search warrant.
Animal Protection and Control officers entered the property on the morning of May 7, with Clark County Sheriff’s deputies and seized 45 animals and removed them from the property. By the end of the day, all animals were relocated and receiving proper veterinarian care and nutrition.
The owner was arrested and had his first appearance in court on May 8, where the judge ordered that he cannot possess, own, or care for any animals. Animal Protection and Control will perform periodic checks on the property per the judge’s order. The next court appearance for this case is May 21, 2025.
Animal Protection and Control thanks the Clark County Sheriff’s Office for their support and commitment to hold those accountable for the crime of animal cruelty. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has been instrumental in providing much needed resources and support to Clark County Animal Protection and Control in this case.
