BOLO for this man wanted in Queens, NY. Take a good look at his face.

On July 24th around 4:45am near 128th Street and 116th Avenue in South Ozone Park, this man was seen dragging a motionless dog down the street - before pouring accelerant on the dog and setting it on fire.

The NYPD Animal Cruelty Squad is looking for him now. As of this post, there’s no information about whether the dog survived.

If you know anything - who he is, where he is, if you have footage - call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or send a message to .

If we find out more, we will update.

This is police body cam footage from South Beach, Miami, near 3rd Street and Ocean Drive.

It shows the moment police arrested a man for dragging his dog into the ocean - trying to drown her.

The man, identified as Yerko Ivan Mendoza‑Patino, 37, was caught on video pulling the dog into the water and forcing her head underwater, over and over.

Beachgoers and Miami Beach lifeguards stepped in, and police arrested him on the spot. As he was led away in handcuffs, people on the beach applauded.

He’s facing felony animal cruelty charges, along with resisting arrest, false ID, and disorderly conduct.

The poor pittie was taken into the police car, and we’ll try to find out more about her soon.

Can’t breathe, Yerko? Good. Thank you,Miami Beach PD. And thank you to the lifeguards and citizens who didn’t turn away.

Thousands of monkeys are being tortured and killed in Indonesia. And platforms like YouTube and Telegram are still letting it happen.

Sadistic individuals in the U.S., U.K., and other countries are sending money to commission these videos - where baby macaques are beaten, burned, stabbed, and mutilated while screaming for their lives. Some are only days old.

This is a sickness. There are people walking among us who take pleasure in watching animals scream and die.It doesn’t stop with monkeys.

We’ve seen similar underground markets for dogs, cats, and every species you can imagine.

These are animal crush videos, and they are illegal under the PACT Act - a U.S. federal law passed in 2019.

These people need to be permanently removed from society and they need to be exposed. There are things we’ve seen that would make you lose sleep.

We post this to push it into the mainstream - where the world can’t look away. We don’t do this for engagement. We do it for the animals who have no voice, no protection, and no chance.

We’re calling on Telegram and YouTube to remove this content and shut these torture channels down. And we’re calling on you to demand they act now.

We don’t have the answers for everything.
Not everything can be a carefully, curated campaign. Yes, this kind of post makes us lose followers. Yes, we get the messages. If you can’t handle it, then go watch cute puppy and kitten videos. We are here for the animals. You’re either in, or you’re out. Please help us
help them.

This video has been making the rounds and with good reason.

Over something as petty as not getting his way about borrowing a car, this man violently kicks someone else’s dog down a flight of stairs.

It wasn’t an accident or lapse in judgment. It was a deliberate act of cruelty, filmed and posted like it was something to be proud of.

Some people are so impulsive, angry, and emotionally stunted that they take it out on the most defenseless being in the room. This isn’t a grown man - it’s a petulant child throwing a tantrum. It’s immaturity. And it’s a pattern of violence we see again and again with certain people.

His name is Keiser Croft.

This may not be the worst abuse we’ve seen, but actions like this still deserve consequences. People need to be called out and reminded that what you post online is written in permanent ink.

If you have information about this man or this case, message us directly or contact NYPD 75th Precinct (East New York) at 718‑827‑3511.

This happened in Wahiawa, Hawaii - on the island of Oahu.

The kid beating on this pup has been identified and needs to be caught and face justice.

His name is Kullen Burner. He’s about 16-18 years old. Instagram: k_boyye86

We know the video is hard to watch and covered in letters and characters, but it’s all we have right now.

So far, it looks like no arrest has been made. We need to push for one. With roots in Hawaii, this one hits close to home for us.

If anyone has information, contact us, or reach out to:

This is cruelty disguised as sport.

It’s the ultimate form of animal exploitation - violence dressed up as entertainment so crowds can cheer and sponsors can profit.

We’re cutting through the noise of celebration to say what most people don’t want to see: animals are dying at the Calgary Stampede.

Necks snapped. Legs shattered. Heart attacks. When it happens, they’re quietly carried off behind a curtain so the show goes on like nothing happened.

Since 1986, countless animals have died here, yet the tradition continues and the suffering gets ignored.

This is how cruelty becomes desensitized and normalized. Lights, music, and culture make people forget. No sport should leave something dead, especially an animal who never asked for any of this.

Tell to cut ties with the Calgary Stampede.

This is someone’s beloved pet, recovered lifeless from the floodwaters in Texas.

The news talks about homes and human lives lost. As they should. But the animals are usually left out. Forgotten. Silenced.

As an animal welfare organization, we can’t help but think about them - because that’s what we do. The dogs swept away in rivers. The cats hiding under debris. The deer, birds, and opossums - all the wild lives taken or displaced when nature turns violent.

Entire communities are underwater. People have died. And countless animals - domestic and wild - are gone, injured, or waiting for owners who may never come home.

Over 40 miles of river are being searched for animals lost, injured, or dead. Volunteers are working around the clock to rescue survivors, recover the deceased, and reunite animals with families.

One such group on the ground is Kerrville Pets Alive along with Kerr County Animal Services. They’re recovering animals, providing medical care, and trying to bring survivors home. If you see animals displaced by these floods or want to help, contact them directly:

San Diego County Animal Services has confirmed that the man responsible for dragging the Doberman to death is 58-year-old Joseph Holland, who they say is experiencing homelessness.

Holland claims he tied his dog, Ralph, to his Jeep Grand Cherokee after taking him to a park, then left to use the restroom and “forgot” the dog was still tied up when he drove off.

Authorities say Holland was “extremely remorseful and visibly heartbroken.”

We’re not buying any of that.

No one just “forgets” their dog is tied to the back of a car and then drives off not noticing they’re not in the car with them. And witnesses said the driver was laughing while Ralph flipped over and over on the road.

Whatever excuse he gives, it doesn’t change what happened. Ralph suffered and died because of him.

RIP, Ralph. We’re sorry that your owner was a fu***ng as***le and we can’t wait to put up his mug shot.

RIP to this poor pup. We’re sorry the worst kind of human did this to you. We hope you know no more suffering or pain - ...

RIP to this poor pup. We’re sorry the worst kind of human did this to you. We hope you know no more suffering or pain - and that you finally know a life filled with love, safety, and peace.

This was always about you before it was about anything else. And we hope this man gets as much mercy as he gave you - none.

This is brutal. This man needs to be identified.

On July 2nd around 5:45 PM, a red and brown Doberman was dragged behind a black Jeep Grand Cherokee in Spring Valley, California. Witnesses said the dog flipped over and over on the pavement while the driver laughed and ignored people screaming for him to stop. It went on for minutes along Bancroft Drive.

The Jeep has California license plate 9KZA855.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s with long gold or brown hair and a red beard.

If you know anything - the man, the Jeep, or the whereabouts of this dog - call San Diego County Animal Services at 619-541-1155. You can remain anonymous. Aldo contact the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department – Spring Valley Substation at 619-660-7090.

Yet another human being that needs to be removed from society forever.

This video comes from Tropical Pets in Corona, Queens, New York – a pet shop where birds and other animals are kept in filthy, deplorable conditions.

A witness went in and saw baby parrots stuffed into dirty glass tanks with no ventilation or space. One bird was clearly dead. When they asked, the man working there casually pulled the bird out and claimed it was just sleeping.

The next day, the birds were still there, losing feathers, trapped in filth, stressed, and neglected. The shop also has dogs, cats, and other animals hidden in the back. People say this place has been like this for a long time. It’s total neglect.

This place is nothing short of a prison for animals. They deserve to be liberated and placed somewhere humane unless conditions change immediately.

If you’re local, go see it for yourself. Film what you see and speak up. Let them know these conditions aren’t acceptable – and that an inspection needs to happen. Places like this survive because people stay silent.

Tropical Pets
102-18 Roosevelt Ave, Corona, NY 11368

Push for an immediate inspection:

NYC Department of Health – call 311 or file online
NYS Dept. of Agriculture and Markets – (518) 457-3502, email: [email protected]

These animals deserve much better than this. Let’s help liberate them.

Thank you

This is from the Kurdish region in Iraq.

When we first saw this, we couldn’t believe our eyes.

Thousands of stray dogs dumped on a hillside outside Erbil. Some say over 10,000. The whole region supposedly has more than 300,000 strays.

Some say the dogs are cared for and fed. Others say they’re starving, sick, and left to die. But either way, there’s nothing good or ideal about what we see here.

This is what happens when there’s no real plan. No spay and neuter programs, no TVNR. Now the problem is so big, it’s impossible to catch up.

Authorities say they’ve rounded up over 14,000 dogs since early 2025 and built a shelter, but it’s overcrowded and dogs are still dying from disease, starvation, and violence.

There’s no clear answer. And for anyone who follows us, you know not everything can be solved.

No, we’re not starting an email campaign. This is a Third World country. Officials there aren’t going to care about emails from first-world Westerners.

Many countries in that region have issues with stray dogs. Unless a huge team goes there and physically rescues them, there’s not much that can be done.

We share this for awareness. Because some things in this world are just fu**ed up - but people still need to see it.
