The Streamer Said She Killed The Dog While Working As a Veterinary Technician
Aqualadora, a popular Twitch streamer based in California, admitted during a stream to killing someone’s 4-year old dog while working as a veterinary technician. You can view an extended version of the Twitch clip here.
Aqualadora, whose real name is Simone Scott, said that no one ever found out about it because she went about killing the dog in a “professional” manner. She also added that the dog’s owner was “a really bad person” and said that “the dog was pretty shitty too”. When a streamer asked her to say it was an accident, Scott reluctantly said as much but when asked by the same streamer if she regretted killing the dog, she simply said that both the dog and its owner were “shitty”.
Scott has apparently worked at an animal shelter in Santa Cruz, according to this profile picture of her on the official website of the University of California Santa Cruz. If Scott committed the crime in California then she could possibly be charged with animal cruelty & convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and then be sentenced to prison or be ordered to pay a fine of $20,000. It is also possible that she could also be both fined and imprisoned if found guilty in a court of law.
She could also be barred from ever caring for animals again and be ordered to pay restitution to the dog’s owner.
If convicted of misdemeanor animal cruelty, Scott could be sentenced to up to a year in prison. If convicted of felony animal cruelty, she could be sentenced to up to three years in prison. Notably, the statute of limitations for cruelty to animals in California is four years.
