Convicted animal abuser Miranda Kittrell of Jones County, Miss was found guilty of 38 counts of animal cruelty. She was sentenced to 114 months in prison with 108 months suspended, reported WLBT 3.
Kittrell claimed to run an animal rescue, but her pups endured “heartbreaking” conditions, said officers at the scene.
When law enforcement arrived at her property along with the local Southern Pines Animal Shelter, they saw flea-ridden dogs, sick and starving, dehydrated and in desperate need of veterinary care.
Dogs suffered in Medieval metal cages with nothing to drink but dirty rainwater and no air conditioning in the brutal summer heat.
At least five dogs died.
Kittrell was brought to justice in what is likely Mississippi’s first ever sentencing under new animal welfare laws, according to the nonprofit, In Defense of Animals.
The new law, which passed this July, pressed for charges of separate counts of cruelty per animal, plus added fines.
Banned from living with a companion animal for 15 years, Kittrell will pay nearly $4,000, complete almost 400 hours of community service, and undergo a $3,500 psychological evaluation at her own expense.
Without the more expansive law, Kittrell may have only been charged for one count of cruelty with limited fines, despite the numerous animals she hurt.
Kittrell’s sentencing is one positive step toward preventing torture of this kind in the future.
What’s New…
This is GOOD NEWS that Miranda Kittrell will PAY for her abuse & murders — yet, her sentence and punishment is still too lenient — her crimes were cruel, heinous, unconscionable — NO MORE Animals FOREVER.

This monster needs locked up for life & given the same treatment she gave these poor innocent helpless animals!
There has to be a better solution to control the population than this barbaric & heartless surgery! Why not do a vasectomy on the males. A much easier & less traumatic on the animal. Question: Why is birth control always the females responsibility!! The males are a parent just like the females.
I am greatful she was convicted nut I wish she woukd serve the entire 114 months
Throw this evil person into the most filthiest Jail cell & lock her up. Provide with the most filthiest food & water as well. THEN ONLY SHE WILL UNDERSTAND THE HORRIFIC CRUELTY SHE HAD DONE TO THE POOR HELPLESS POOCHES. Also SHE SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN ANY ANIMAL EVER.
WE NEED THE NEW LAWS, BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE LIKE THESE TO BE ELIMINATED FROM THE PLANET EARTH & GIVE A PEACEFUL EXISTANCE TO ANIMALS WHO NEEDS TO LIVE IN HARMONY.
So pleased this person is getting what she deserves but not long enough and she should get a real long sentence and fined..
So glad you got this monster out of the way.
She should be forced to serve her time in one of those cages.
108 months suspended? Why? she should complete full sentence plus do the rest. That should be fair enough, she
caused so much pain to these animals, it seems a slap in the hand to me.
MIRANDA SHOULD GET A $10,000 FINE FOR EACH ANIMAL HARMED, AND NEVER, EVER ALLOWED TO BE NEAR ANIMALS AGAIN – MUCH LESS HAVE A COMPANION TO ABUSE.
Nowhere near good enough! Death penalty is better.
She should sever more time in prison for what she did.
Good. Maybe these new stringent laws will be a real deterrent, not just a slap on the wrist, as usual
Miranda Kittrell of Jones County, Mississippi deserves a more severe punishment for her cruelty to animals.
God damned bitch I hope she gets beaten to a pulp in prison
The sentient voiceless are guilty of nothing all they want is love and care, they love people unconditionally and are abused exploited and cruelly treated by humans every day from slaughterhouses and factory farming to vivisection cosmetic testing and horrific pointless abhorrent medical experiments, military, the dog cat meat and fur trade, they do not deserve it !
I hate people this world stinks the sooner humans are wiped out the the better !
Now the humans are listening. This is great news about the farming !!!! Let’s educate the people and help them Let’s educate the people and help them.!! we all need educating in the whole world.
Evil humans again . !!!!!! It’s always humans !!!!why do humans eat them Torture them and kill them for fun it’s beyond me torture them and kill them for fun it’s beyond me. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Why are people unkind to animals? This sweet little dog deserved none of it. All a dog wants is your love, exercise & healthy food. Why is that so hard or why are you so void of emotion for others?
Good, hope he rots in there.
She should have had the ENTIRE sentence. She did not deserve to have any reduction in sentencing. Shame on the JUDGE. They don’t do their jobs when it comes to animals and babies. And she should not have any animals for LIFE, not just 15 years.
That is a good result. What is wrong with these people? If you don’t want to care for animals properly, don’t get them. Personally, I would throw away the key
It is absolutely unfathomable that this monster goes free EVER! The law is a joke!

This vile, mentally deranged severe animal abusing scumbag druggie bitch must have the death penalty implemented and nothing less. I am ready, willing and able to help perform this procedure!
Agreed and I’d happily help
Why does this piece of shit not receive the same treatment as these innocent and defenceless animals!
Waste must be destroyed and then thrown into the landfill because it is NOT human!
INHUMANE HORRIFIC BARBARIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is a piece of shit and someone needs to give her some good old vigilante justice
Ashamed to be a human being when we should be so grateful for those innocent and giving companions instead of the unnecessary tortures and cruel behaviors we treat them with, making martyrs in spite of themselves…Animals should not be punished for our sick behaviors.
The DISGUSTING WOMAN who did such HORRID things to INNOCENT PUPPIES and other ANIMALS should have HER NAME ENTERED into a NATIONAL REGISTRY of KNOWN ANIMAL ABUSERS! As MANY PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES HAVE PROVED, this KILLER’s RAGE and VIOLENCE will MOST LIKELY ESCALATE to HUMAN TARGETS as she MORPHS into a SERIAL KILLER if not IMPRISONED for MORE THAN JUST 6 MONTHS! SHE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED to be NEAR or POSSESS ANY ANIMAL AGAIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WITH FURTHER SENTENCING of UNLIMITED PRISON TIME SHOULD SHE VIOLATE THE TERMS of her RELEASE!
HAPPY THE BITCH WAS CAUGHT!!! NOW PUNISH TO THE FULLEST!!!
So glad she was caught, and hope she’s never given the chance to have animals ever again. But the laws have to get tougher!! Make them serve more time in general years and years behind bars not months or weeks!! Don’t let them off for any reason – do you think they’ll let the animal off – NO!!
Treat them just like they did the dog.
What ever they they.
Pray fo rpuppies need go free be safe
Gas that bitch
Sentenced to 118 months….108 months suspended? What about going for all 118 months. But at least she will be in there for 6 months, pay fines, pay for psychological treatment and hours of community service. Keep an eye on her after her sentencing is done, an animal abuser is always an animal abuser, they like it too much.
Lock him(her) up and throw the key away!
