Sixty-Six-Year-Old Charged With Animal Cruelty | Fayetteville News

A 66-year-old woman, Karen Tupman, faces three felony animal cruelty charges after authorities found the skeletal remains of three dogs and rescued five other severely neglected animals from her home. One puppy, adopted just a month prior, was dangerously underweight. The case erupted when a vet check for new foster pets revealed malnourished kittens, triggering a welfare investigation. Investigators suspect she killed the dogs by mutilation, poisoning, or abuse — and had been actively adopting more animals under false names before adoption limits existed. Neighbors had no clue such horror was happening next door. She’s held on $50,000 bond and returns to court October 5th.
