JACOB LUNA accused of strangling a dog and dumping his body in a trash can

- Texas, USA -

 

The San Juan Police Department arrested 21-years-old JACOB LUNA (pictured).

 

LUNA is accused of strangling a dog to death and then dumping the Voiceless Victim’s body into a trash can. The furvictim was an 11-year-old Pug named Max.

 

Max’s family reported the incident to the San Juan Police Department after home security footage showed a man trespass onto their property and harm their dog.

Police said the video “shows an individual unlawfully entering her property, aggressively handling the dog in a manner that suggested harm, and then removing the animal from the premises.”

 

The non-profit Yaqui Animal Rescue uploaded the footage to their Facebook page in hopes of finding the male.

 

LUNA was taken into custody on Thursday, April 18, 2024.

When investigators interviewed LUNA, he confessed to taking Max and strangling him before tossing the body in a nearby trash can. By the time the murderer was interviewed, the trash truck had already passed that morning. According to police, LUNA emphasized he felt “alive” while harming Max.

 

The murderer was booked into the Hidalgo County Jail on charges of animal cruelty, criminal trespassing, theft, and tampering with evidence.

 

The day after his arrest, the murderer was arraigned and a judge set a $104,000 bond. Records show LUNA was released on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

JOSEPH MICHAEL SANDERS arrested - He was caught on video repeatedly kicking and beating a small dog

- California, USA -

 

The Anaheim Police Department announced that on April 18, 2024, Patrol Officers took 35-years-old JOSEPH MICHAEL SANDERS (pictured), into custody and booked him for an arrest warrant that had been issued for felony animal cruelty.

 

SANDERS was caught on video repeatedly kicking and beating a small dog. The incident happened on the morning of Sunday, April 7, 2024, in the 800 block of North Brookhurst Street in Anaheim.

 

FOX 11 Los Angeles reports that in the video, SANDERS “is seen walking from the street corner down into a berm. In one hand, he has a bike, in the other, he's carrying the small dog. Before walking down into the drainage ditch, the dog is heard yelping loudly.”  Then, as SANDERS “continues closer to the camera, he drops the bike to the ground, takes a few more steps, then proceeds to dropkick the puppy.  The scene continues just off camera, with the puppy wailing while the man is heard grunting as he kicks the dog over and over.”  

 

According to ABC 7, a second video shows SANDERS “walk back to pick up his bike as the dog still follows closely behind.”

 

Ms. Alexa Pratt, PIO for Orange County Animal Care, told ABC 7 it's a heart-wrenching moment that shows animals just want unconditional love. She said: “They just want loving homes. They want to be with their people, so what we really want is for someone to call and have some information, hopefully, so we can get that dog away from that situation and into a loving family - a home where he's just loved and cherished.”

 

Police do not know where the dog is and are reaching out to the public for assistance.

If you have any information, please contact the Anaheim Police Department at (714) - 765 - 1900 or your local law enforcement agency. Thank you!

EVADNE HARRINGTON facing charges after her emaciated dog was found chained and soaked in urine

Updated: Apr 25, 2024

- New York, USA -

 

On the afternoon of December 21, 2023, police from the 101st Precinct in Far Rockaway responded to a request for medical aid at an apartment on Seagirt Boulevard.

 

Officers found a black and white, mixed-breed female dog named Puddin in a corner.

According to a press release by the Queens County District Attorney’s Office, “Puddin was tied to a box-like structure with a chain of approximately six inches, making it impossible for her to move freely.”

A collar-shaped metal device was fastened around Puddin’s neck and face, secured by a padlock.

 

There was no food or water near Puddin, nor dog food in the apartment. “Puddin was emaciated, her spine, ribs and hipbones protruding”, stated the release. Puddin’s coat was damp with urine, patchy, and covered in dirt and dander. 

 

Officers used bolt cutters to remove the padlocked collar and once Puddin was finally free to move, “she immediately ran to the bathroom and drank water from the toilet”, said District Attorney Melinda Katz.

 

Officers then noticed a thickened scar with scabbing across the top of Puddin’s muzzle.

 

Puddin’s guardian, 41-years-old EVADNE HARRINGTON, gave officers permission to take the Voiceless Victim in for veterinary treatment and relinquished ownership of Puddin to the ASPCA.

 

When Puddin arrived at the non-profit’s Animal Recovery Center, she was emaciated and dehydrated. Pudding required intensive treatment for a slew of medical conditions, including widespread skin infections, hair loss, and various injuries.

 

The good news is that after Puddin’s condition improved, she was placed with a foster family and is now available for adoption.   

 

On March 25, 2024, HARRINGTON was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on charges of overdriving; torturing, and injuring animals/failure to provide sustenance; and failure to provide proper food and drink to an impounded animal.

If convicted, HARRINGTON faces up to ONLY a year in jail, a joke!!!!

Queens Criminal Court Judge Jeffrey Gershuny ordered her to return to court on July 1, 202, at 9:00 a.m.

 

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement: “The abuse of voiceless, defenseless creatures is unconscionable. Puddin thankfully was rescued from her miserable circumstances. We look forward to holding her abuser accountable.”
