MOSES LAKE — Former Port of Moses Lake executive director David Senne and his wife, Mary Ellen Senne, have been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after 89 animals were seized from their property in Jones County, Miss.
Seventeen animals were also found dead on their property, according to local law enforcement. The cause of death is still being investigated.
The Jones County Sheriff’s Department served a search and seizure warrant on the Sennes’ 161-acre property on July 11. The animals appeared to suffer from a lack of veterinary care and were housed in conditions typically seen in severe neglect situations, according to the Humane Society.
Fifty-five dogs and 34 cats were removed from the home, Human Society officials said.
