ALLEGED ANIMAL ABUSE

• A 36-year-old Napavine woman who told police she raised Llamas to feed to her dogs is under investigation for animal cruelty. Elizabeth A. Moir was arrested and jailed last week after a search warrant served on her property turned up two Llama carcasses and an approximately 4-year-old Llama was seized, according to Napavine Police Department Officer-in-charge Silas Elwood. “It was basically a lack of shelter and malnourishment,” Elwood said. It’s not illegal to slaughter them, but even animals destined for food have to be taken care of, Elwood said. The lone female animal was thin, he said. Elwood said he has been getting complaints and working with Moir since last spring. She got the problems corrected, he said, but then he got evidence they weren’t being fed, he went to the property on the 600 block of Forest Napavine Road West again last Tuesday, he said. The living Llama was cold and suffering, he said, standing in mud with no place to get out of the snow. A veterinarian examined it, and it is being taken care of by Pasado’s Safe Haven in Sultan, an animal welfare group, he said. Elwood arrested Moir the following day for first-degree animal cruelty, he said. There were four “happy, healthy, Labrador dogs there, he said. Moir was released from jail pending further investigation. The Lewis County Prosecutors Office said today they are waiting for further information and expect to file charges by the end of the week.
