East Moor, Wakefield, West Yorkshire: Samantha Orange

#MostEvil | Samantha Jayne Orange (aka Samantha Silvester), born 4 August 1976, of 4 Dent Drive, Wakefield WF1 4JG – left a dog to starve to death in the downstairs toilet of her house

Orange admitted three animal welfare charges in relation to her seven-year-old male German Shepherd-cross dog, Kuma, after leaving him to starve for at least two weeks.

The hearing was told how a family member found Kuma in a collapsed state in the downstairs toilet where he had been living and took the dog for treatment on December 31, 2020.

The vet decided the pet was so emaciated and ill that the kindest thing to do was to put him to sleep to end his suffering. The vet reported the matter to the RSPCA and inspector Kris Walker was sent to investigate.

Inspector Walker observed that Kuma was very underweight, with his spine, ribs, pelvis and hips all prominent and he smelled strongly of faeces and ammonia.

A post-mortem revealed that Kuma weighed just 16kg, which was just under half of the ideal weight for a dog of his breed.

The vet gave him a body score of one out of nine, with one being the lowest – which means that the ribs, lumbar vertebrae, pelvic bones and all bony prominences were visible from a distance,

In a statement the vet said: “There was no discernible body fat, and there was an obvious loss of muscle mass. Kuma was wearing a collar which was several sizes too large, suggesting that he had been at a healthy weight when the collar was fitted and suggests a rapid weight loss.

“The body was covered in dried faeces, most notably under the nails, which were severely overgrown by about half an inch, suggesting that Kuma was not frequently walked for an extended period. Live fleas and a large amount of flea ‘dirt’ were observed through the coat, which was matted.

“Kuma’s ears were very waxy, eyes were sunken and the ocular secretions were thick and “gummy” suggesting that the dog was severely dehydrated, these symptoms occur when at least 10% of total body water has been lost.”

The vet concluded that she believed Kuma had been left to starve for two to three weeks.

Inspector Walker said: “There is never an excuse not to feed a pet and anyone who is struggling can seek help from many animal welfare charities.”

Sentencing: 12-month community order with 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days. A total of £260 in costs and charges. Lifetime ban on owning animals.

  1. Evil Mentally Disturbed Scum.
    Should have had a Prison Sentence for this.
    How the hell can you leave something to starve to death.
    If your that desperate, tie it to the gates of a rescue, or shove it through the door of a vets.
    There is absolutely no need for this.
    Absolutely Heart Breaking.

    1. Maria you’ve left a comment on pretty every much post on this whole site . While these things are all very very disturbing and horrible , who goes round leaving comments on every single one . That’s just very weird

      1. As a subscriber, Maria will receive an alert every time we publish a post and it’s good for any blog to have engagement from followers. We always value and appreciate her support and input. We also like that she shares our posts with the abusers themselves by copy/pasting our content on their public social media posts. It gives them the heads up that they’ve been added to our database and they don’t tend to enjoy the exposure.

  2. A good Bath with Flea Shampoo would have sorted out the Fleas, Wash the Ears same time, a De Wormer and a Large Bag of Dry Food from the supermarket would last him weeks. Wouldn’t cost hardly anything.
    Absolutely Heart Breaking.

    1. And what was her excuse.?? She is a vile specimen and I cannot say what I’d like to happen to her

  3. I have been trying to type a comment for 30 mins when this crime was brought to my attention but the tears are blurring my vision and dropping on my screen they will stop i can dry my screen but seeing the foto of that dog is with me for life i am struggling to deal with this anus act i knew something werent quite right with this woman when she fabricated a wrong doing which almost got my dog destroyed (pair of slippers)gf

    1. No justice for this poor dog at all she should of gone to prison people who went to her house must of smells the wee and poo that poor dog has suffered why not just let the dog out or take to a vets and say she found it it dnt cost much for a bag of dog food and her sentence she got was nothing she should of got sent to prison I hope carm comes and bites her on her arse this is so sad poor baby rip kuma xx

    2. Disgusting human being.I’d do anything to get my dog back cos she gave us so much joy.anybody who think’s like she does is a vile human.if u cart afford a pet dont get one I got my dog off a lady who couldn’t walk her anymore as she was gettin to old.I miss my Bailey boo

  4. I have no words to describe what I think or could do to this evil piece of s***
    I don’t live far from her, I’d love to go & pay her a visit but i wouldn’t trust myself.
    That poor baby must’ve suffered so much. How can you even leave a dog for more than a few hours.
    Why did no one hear its cries, neighbours must’ve known she hadn’t been home.
    This is no punishment. She deserved to go to jail & let all inmates know what her crime was.
    Or lock her in a dark room with no food or water until she’s ready to take her last breath.
    I hope she can see these comments & realise what an evil, horrible ugly specimen she is. 😡😤🤯

  5. This woman is a vile monster who deserves karma I hope to god she gets it !

  7. I am not sure if her address is still on here but I am willing to give it ! what an absolutely disgusting woman she is.I have felt physically sick all day over this, my dog’s are my baby’s.my life revolves around them ! I can’t move on my sofa as I am writing this as I have got my 2 with me all comfort in there blankets stroking them & giving them loves the deserve.people need to stop feeling sorry for her young daughter, she lived with her so knew what was going on , she is in the last year of high school! I am just praying this horrible person is locked up getting torched in a room somewhere.she best not get put in somewhere safe to protect her, that pool dog .

  8. Hope she gets to read all these comments. She won’t care, but it will make her aware that people now know who she is. What a complete piece of shite you are, Orange (Sylvester, or whatever your feckin name is).

  9. This is not nice to see that one off ur dogs pup as gone threw this at all what a vile women she is its wrong dogs r for life and they are family dogs and shouldn’t have to go threw it r.i.p kuma

  10. Are you frickin kidding me, I’m furious. What a pathetic sentence for such a horrific crime! Is that all the judge thinks this poor lovely dog’s life was worth. We have fought so long to change the Animal welfare law for them to give out such a ridiculous sentence, shame on you judge! As for the POS that did this, please give me 5 minutes in a room with her!!! How dare she treat any animal in such an appalling way. This is a horrific way to die, poor dog I’m so sorry you have been let down so badly by someone meant to ‘care’ for you! You’re life is worth a million more than that vile waste of oxygen! So heart breaking! 😪😪

  11. I keep asking myself why, and I can’t comprehend what she’s done. This really upset me too and I shared on the Eastmoor site, only for comments to be turned off. There is no excuse to starve a poor defenceless animal. Like I said, she could have rehomed, taken to a shelter, or if all else failed just abandon the poor thing for it to be picked up and rehomed that way. I love my pooches and their welfare comes before mine. Which is the way it should be. RIP Kuma… You will get your karma 😭🤬😭

  12. Absolute scum even hanging is too good for her!!! Hope karma catches up with her and she goes through the hell she deserves….. no excuse whatsoever for doing this there is so much help out there she deserves to rot!!!!!!

  13. Absolutely disgusting they need to lock her in a toilet and starve her to death she should of gone to prison

  14. I’m reading this with tears rolling down my face and a little black fur ball laid at my feet. I can feel the warmth of his little body and it’s beautiful. What an absolute vile woman. Come on karma do your thing, please.
