A Seattle woman has been arrested after she allowed her pit bull to attack and maul other dogs, claiming her pet was the bloodthirsty beast ‘Chupacabra.’Sydney Kelly, 30, was charged with animal cruelty for failing to intervene in the disturbing attack on Friday.The viral video showed Kelly – who was wearing a camouflage sweatshirt and pajama pants – standing on the sidewalk of Dexter Ave while her brown pit bull, who was off leash, bit another dog.Kelly appeared to be shouting at the other owner who was trying to separate the dogs while her pup whimpered in agony.A Seattle Police Department report obtained by DailyMail.com said multiple people called in the attack, including the victim who stated she had to take her dog to an animal hospital to be treated.'[The victim] stated multiple people tried to break up the fight, However, the owner of the pit bull attempted to stop people from helping to break up the fight,’ the police report stated. ‘She was shouting “let him do his thing” insinuating that she was complacent in her dog mauling other animals.’When officers found Kelly, police said her pit bull was walking in the direction of two other dogs on the sidewalk and appeared to be charging at them. Sydney Kelly (pictured with her hands on her head), 30, was charged with animal cruelty for failing to intervene in the disturbing attack on Friday Kelly appeared to be shouting at the other owner who was trying to separate the dogs while her pup whimpered in agony’The dog was not leashed, and the apparent owner of the dog (later identified as Kelly) was highly elevated,’ the police report said.’Officers asked if Kelly was the one who owned the dog, to which she stated “it is not a dog, it’s the Chupacabra.”‘A Chupacabra is a legendary vampire-like animal that attacks and sucks the blood of livestock, according to folklore.After she was read her Miranda rights, police said Kelly admitted to officers she has been on ‘fetty and clear’ (fentanyl and methamphetamines). She also allegedly admitted to police that it was her dog attacking the other animals.Alyssa Maenza, who lives in the neighborhood, told Fox 13 that she witnessed Kelly’s dog attack another canine earlier that day.’The dog was off-leash and out of control. [The pit bull owner] was just kind of screaming, and running around following it, but then not grabbing him. Then she would intermittently grab him and let him go,’ Maneza said.When police ran Kelly’s name, they found she had an outstanding warrant from February for operating a motor vehicle without ignition interlock. Her next court date for both charges is scheduled for April 28. She is being held at the King County Correctional Facility on $3,500 bond. When officers found Kelly, she told them her dog is ‘the Chupacabra,’ and admitted to being high on fentanyl and methamphetaminesSeattle Animal Control told the local news station that Kelly’s dog is in their custody.The agency said there were at least 637 dog attacks in Seattle in 2024. That number includes dogs attacking dogs, dogs attacking humans and dogs attacking other animals.However, that does not account for the cases that Seattle Police respond to or incidents were no case is filed.
