BRIAN KEITH RUMLER, retired teacher, arrested for murdering girlfriend’s dog with a baseball bat

- Florida, USA -


On August 21, 2022, the Claremont Police Department arrested 62-years-old BRIAN KEITH RUMLER (pictured), a retired Seminole County teacher, after he murdered his new girlfriend’s son’s dog with a baseball bat.


According to the arrest report, RUMLER told police he was on the couch when the dog, a 6-year-old Labrador mix named Fenway, “ran up to [him] and bit at his left hand.”

The report goes on to say that RUMLER then went to the garage where Fenway followed him “in a curious manner.”

Police said that RUMLER “Grabbed a red and gold baseball bat, walked back inside, and observed [Fenway] in the front room area looking at him.”

RUMLER struck Fenway on his head, killing him instantly, and walked away.

As stated in the report: “The blow that was delivered to [Fenway's] skull caused him to die upon impact.”

RUMLER then put the bat back in the garage and wrapped Fenway in a large blue tarp.


Police said that “There was a reasonable amount of time from when [Fenway] bit him to when he walked into the garage, losing sight of the dog,” therefore, when RUMLER struck Fenway, the act was not in self-defense.


Animal Control responded to the scene and determined that Fenway “was not actively attacking Brian Rumler when he was walking to the garage.”


RUMLER claimed that this was the second time that Fenway had bitten him and that it happened before in May.


Brian Velms, Fenway’s dad, told FOX 35 Orlando that he got Fenway as a puppy. He was only one month old when he became part of their family and now, he’s gone with a swing of a bat.


Online court records show that the filthy murderer was booked into the Lake County Jail on one felony count of aggravated animal cruelty. He was free a few hours later after posting a $2,000 bond.

According to online court records, RUMLER’s court appearance has been scheduled for September 19, 2022, at 8:30 a.m.


Voice For Us believes that animal abusers should not benefit from the option of paying bail/bond after their arrest, but should remain in jail until their first court appearance!

PRANAV ARORA arrested for leaving two dogs locked in a car while he was picking up dinner

- Florida, USA -


The Boca Raton Police Department arrested 26-years-old PRANAV ARORA (pictured), after he left two dogs locked in a car without water and no AC on while he was picking up dinner.


Police received a call from a woman who noticed the dogs in the vehicle which was turned off and had all the windows up. The woman saw the furbabies rapidly panting and in distress and when she could not find the vehicle’s owner, she thankfully alerted the police.


According to the incident report, officers responded to 300 Plaza Real of Mizner Park at 6:56 p.m. and located a white Mercedes Benz SUV with two dogs inside.

There was a chocolate Labrador laying in the front passenger seat who was rapidly panting and appeared extremely fatigued.

The second dog, a German Shepherd, was barking aggressively and rapidly panting at the same time and appeared protective over the Labrador, said police.


Officers then met with the witness who said that she arrived at 6:15 p.m.


Officers reported that the vehicle was unlocked and due to the exigent circumstances and concern for the safety and well-being of the dogs, they opened the vehicle's front driver and passenger door.


Officers felt it was not safe to remove the dogs from the car as the German Shepherd showed “aggressive signs.”


Officers put a bowl of water in the back of the vehicle and needless to say the furbabies immediately drank it all!


Meanwhile, at 7:41 p.m. animal control officer Harvey arrived on the scene to remove the dogs. He had a temperature reader which read 94 degrees for the interior of the vehicle.

At 7:50 p.m. as Officer Harvey was placing the Labrador into his vehicle, ARORA arrived.

ARORA told officers that he and his friend arrived at Mizner Park at 6:45 p.m. and went to pick up a takeout from Kapow.


One of the responding officers wrote in his report that his investigation concluded that ARORA “actually carried his animals in a vehicle, in a cruel and inhumane manner, by leaving them unattended without basic necessities.”


ARORA, of 485 NE Spanish Trail in East Boca Raton, was placed under arrest and transported first to BRPD for booking and later to Palm Beach County Jail.

He was charged with one count of animal cruelty and released a few hours later on his own recognizance.

According to online court records, ARORA’s arraignment has been scheduled for September 22, 2022, at 8:30 a.m.


I have emailed the Boca Raton Police Department PIO and asked why ARORA was only charged with one count of animal cruelty since there are two dogs in this case.

I also requested additional information about the furbabies.

If I receive a response, I will post an update.

DANIEL LAMONT GRAY JR., ex-NFL player and current public-school teacher, murdered his dog

- Florida, USA -


The Pembroke Pines Police Department arrested 28-years-old DANIEL LAMONT GRAY JR. (pictured) “after investigating officers determined that he caused malicious and intentional harm to his dog, Jack, which resulted in the dog’s death”, said the Department in a press release.


According to Local 10 News, GRAY is an ex-NFL player and is currently a Broward County Public School teacher. His name is listed online as a teacher at Pine Ridge Educational Center.


Police said that on August 10, 2022, witnesses saw GRAY “punching, kicking, and slamming” Jack, an 8-month-old American Pitbull terrier, “into the ground outside of The Avant apartment complex” in the 12000 Block of SW 15th Street.


As indicated in the release, approximately two hours after the incident, one of the witnesses found Jack’s lifeless body to the rear of a nearby building.

Local 10 News added that Jack was covered in blood and witnesses placed a sheet and bags on him before calling the police.


When officers responded to the scene, according to Local 10 News, witnesses told them that GRAY went crazy on the furbaby outside his unit, punching him, kicking him, swinging him by his legs, and body slamming him to the ground. They also said that as Jack was yelping and crying in pain, GRAY yelled to the DEFENSELESS VICTIM: “You see how strong I am? This is why I keep you locked up.” GRAY then dragged the furbaby away and dropped him nearby.


Local 10 News reports that responding officers called Dr. Elizabeth Rosainz who is a veterinarian at LeadER Animal Hospital before taking Jack to her for assessment.

Dr. Rosainz told Local News 10: “I have seen some of these cases, but this is the worst I have ever seen.” Dr. Rosainz explained: “Externally, there was so much blood from the oral cavity, in the nasal cavity, that you can see that he had been hit in the face, somehow. He had a puncture wound on top of the head and then when we took X-rays we could see that he had rib fractures and he had collapsed lung.”

As reported by Local News 10, it’s unclear how Jack got a puncture wound to his head, but state officials are examining the body.


From a thorough investigation it emerged that GRAY “willfully caused significant injuries to his dog, Jack, which directly led to his death”, said police.


The filthy murderer was arrested on August 11, 2022, and charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty. He was transported to BSO Main Jail for processing.


After his arrest, GRAY went before a judge and his lawyers had the nerve to ask for his bond to be reduced so that their client could attend the first day of school on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

The judge told GRAY he was not to go back to work until further notice.


Broward County’s school system told Local 10 News that GRAY he will be RELOCATED to an off-school site as the investigation continues. Not fired, relocated!


DANIEL LAMONT GRAY JR., bragging about your strength with a dog unable to fight back says a lot about what you are made of and what you are, EXCREMENT!!!!

Show me how you can defend yourself with your hands and legs tied up while someone does to you what you did to Jack! Is that strength?
