Updated: Apr 7, 2024

- Tennessee, USA -


~ Update: April 7, 2024


I learned that the furvictim's name was Sophie. The tribute image has been updated accordingly.


~ Original story:


On Sunday, October 8, 2023, the Nashville Metro Police Department arrested 38-years-old LEANGELO L. RAMEY (pictured).


Police said they received a call from a neighbor about a woman who was crying and saying that her dog was dead.


Officers were dispatched to the given location and upon arrival, they spoke with the woman that the caller heard crying. She told officers that she was sleeping when she heard a banging noise and her dog yelping. The woman went on to say that when she went outside, she found her dog dead and that RAMEY told her he had killed her dog.


Officers also spoke with the woman’s 16-year-old son. The young man told officers that he was sleeping at the time of the incident and like his mother, he also heard a noise and their dog yelping. He explained to officers that their dog was found lifeless, underneath a five-gallon bucket. According to police, the young man went on to tell officers that RAMEY hit the dog in the head multiple times with the broken end of a shovel, leaving some of the dog's hair still on the shovel.


RAMEY was not present while officers were on the scene.


When he returned, police were still investigating and RAMEY admitted to killing the dog. According to the affidavit obtained by Voice For Us, when officers asked him the reason for his actions, RAMEY said because he was “tired.”


The murderer was placed under arrest and booked into the Davidson County Jail on one felony count of aggravated animal cruelty. Bond was set at $5,000 bond.

Court records show that the murderer is expected back in Davidson County Criminal Court on October 16, 2023, at 9:15 a.m. before Judge Rachel L. Bell.


I have sent out a few emails requesting additional information regarding the Voiceless Victim. If I receive a response, I will post an update.

Male caught on video abusing a dog leads to Houston SPCA’s intervention and rescue of three dogs

Updated: Feb 25, 2024

- Texas, USA -


On the night of Monday, October 9, 2023, the Houston SPCA along with the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s office responded to an apartment complex in the 3300 block of North Magregor after receiving a report of animal abuse.


In a press release, the Houston SPCA said that the incident was captured on a Ring doorbell camera. The footage showed a male kicking a dog unable to fight back and unable to call for help! In the disturbing video, the male can be seen lifting the dog by one of his back legs and tossing him across the walkway. The male then proceeds to threaten the dog to kick him some more.


In the press release, the Houston SPCA described the Voiceless Victim as a 50-pound, 1-year-old English Bulldog.


Officials arrived at the location with a civil seizure warrant to rescue the Bulldog, and once on the scene, they found two French Bulldogs. The poor souls were “confined in a small wire kennel, soaked in urine and feces.”


Thankfully, all the furbabies were removed and they are now safe in the care of the Houston SPCA.


In a Facebook post, Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s office said that the male has been identified but his name has not been made public yet. According to the Facebook post, “The entire investigation has been turned over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office. The DA will decide if and when charges will be filed in this case.”


While stressing the importance of reporting animal cruelty, Jay Chase, Chief Cruelty Investigator at the Houston SPCA, said: “If you are able to safely obtain photos or video to report animal cruelty, it can be very useful against those who dare to commit these crimes in public view.”


In an interview with FOX 26, Harris County Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen rightfully said: “We have to be the voice of the voiceless.”

Investigation underway after dead dog found in a creek inside a backpack weighed down with a rock

- Pennsylvania, USA -


Pennsylvania State Police Newport are investigating after a dog was found deceased in a backpack along with a large rock, in Shermans Creek.


On the early afternoon of Friday, October 6, 2023, Troopers responded to Shermans Creek in Carroll Township after a man who was walking his dog made the gruesome discovery and alerted the authorities.


When Troopers opened the backpack, they found a small black dog wrapped in a pillowcase, and a rock that was used to keep the Voiceless Victim at the bottom of the creek. Police said the dog appears to be a Cocker Spaniel.


In a news release, police described the rock as weighing over 16 pounds, “11 inches in [length] and 11 inches in height.”


Lackawanna County Humane Officer Laura Vitali was called in to help with the investigation and she explained to NewsWatch 16: “We can see by looking at the dog that there was definitely neglect. There’s severe matting on the dog. The fur appears in some areas to be white. It’s been yellowed by urine. It could be the extended amount of time it’s been out here, but it only appears to have been here for a week.”


A spokesperson for Archbald police tells me that a necropsy is being performed to determine the dog’s cause of death and the results are not in yet.


Police urge anyone with information about this heinous crime to come forward and contact Trooper Heller at PSP-Newport at (717) - 567- 3110. Thank you!


I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Dew, for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.
