A woman in Carmichael, California was arrested and later released after she cut her dog’s throat and threw it in the trash on Wednesday, October 16.

CBS News reports that the dog owner, identified as 41-year-old Danielle Danielle Killian, lived alone in an apartment complex on Manzanita Avenue in Carmichael with two dogs and a cat, and was the sole care provider for the animals.

In a news release by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, they revealed that Killian told deputies that she felt her life would be easier if she only had one dog, and then decided to cut one dog’s throat and dump it in the trash.

Deputies responded to Killian’s apartment complex on the night of October 16, after they received a report saying that a dog was found in the trash can, with something tied around its neck.

Furthermore, the caller reveals that the dog had a cut around its throat, but was still alive.

Killian was immediately detained at her apartment while Animal Control “took the injured dog for medical treatment and took custody of the other dog,” the Sheriff’s Office revealed.

While the injured dog was fortunately still alive, the Sheriff’s Office revealed that Killian placed the dog in a shopping bag and “disposed of it in the garbage bin” at her apartment complex on October 15.

“Detectives then executed a search warrant of her apartment, leading to the discovery of the knife presumably used in this incident,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.

“Killian was arrested and transported to the Sacramento County Main Jail. She was granted release on her own recognizance by the courts and has since been released from custody.”

While both of Killian’s dogs are in safe hands, the Sheriff’s Office reveals that the detectives were unable to locate her cat.

They also feared that other animals she may have in the past may have suffered abused, “as she told Detectives she moved around regularly, as often as once a year.”

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office urged anyone who has information of the incident or of Killian to contact them.
