Daniel Mann, 31, of Belmar was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with two counts of animal cruelty.
He was hired about 18 months ago and his job was to take care of animals, but around 3:15 p.m. Monday, a couple of employees glanced into the well room at the Wall Street building and saw Mann abusing the animals, said Victor "Buddy" Amato, the chief of the ******** County SPCA.
An attendant at the shelter I volunteer at was arrested on Monday for two counts of animal cruelty after he killed two cats, on purpose. One was strangled to death with a leash and the other was thrown at the floor. They were both recovering from surgery. He was later arrested and take to the $20,000 bail at the local jail.
He was sentenced to six years in state prison in 2004, on charges including burglary, eluding, and theft. He has been out of state prison since October 2007.
The local police are investigating the incident as is the SPCA themselves. I also read somewhere else he could spend up to 3-5 years in prision

This is an absolute SHOCK. I've seen this guy around there too, I can't believe this. :( It's so sad, because I volunteer there myself. I don't know how something so awful could happen in such a great place. :( I starred out the name of the shelter and township because I don't want all the world knowing where I volunteer and live around, but I really don't even know what to make of this. I am shock, maybe because it's just so close to home. :( The staff at this shelter are an amazing amazing group of people...ugh I can't even believe this. The attendants are so nice and they love the animals - I really don't even know how this could happen. I think my mind is just refusing to comprehend this because I know the place so well.
ETA: I initially starred out the shelter name, but found it wasn't enough since you could just google search any of the article. If anyone wants a direct link to the article please PM me.
