GERARDO ANGEL GUZMAN arrested for beating his dog with a wooden weapon

- California, USA -


The Visalia Police Department announced the arrest of 29-year-old GERARDO ANGEL GUZMAN (pictured).


Police said in a press release that on the afternoon of Friday, February 7, 2025, officers were dispatched to a home in the 300 block of NE 2nd Street after receiving a report of animal abuse.


Upon arrival, officers were shown a video in which GUZMAN could be seen beating his dog with a wooden weapon.


The police tell me the dog is a 2-year-old male black Heeler mix named Jay.


When officers attempted to contact GUZMAN, he barricaded himself inside his home and began to threaten the officers. At some point GUZMAN exited the residence to assault officers but was caught and placed under arrest.


Animal Control removed Jay from the home and according to the press release, he suffered minor injuries. I have emailed Animal Control to inquire about Jay’s wellbeing and if I get a response, I will post an update.


GUZMAN was transported to Kaweah Health for medical clearance and was later booked into the Tulare County Adult Pre-Trial Facility on charges of animal cruelty, battery on a peace officer, suspicion of resisting, and delaying or obstructing an office by force or threat of force.

RONNIE DEWAYNE MORRIS arrested for abandoning his dog to freeze and starve to death

Updated: Feb 10

- New York, USA -


After the discovery of a deceased dog at an abandoned home near the Village of Monticello, the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office took to Facebook to share a devastating picture of the deceased furvictim.


According to the Facebook post, deputies found the dog in a crate in a home on 207 Cold Spring Road, on January 30, 2025.

The furvictim, named Nala, was found extremely underfed and fell victim to the cold.


The sheriff’s office reached out to the public for information regarding the dog’s guardian and on February 6, 2025, the sheriff’s office announced that an arrest was made in connection with this case.


Deputies arrested 36-year-old RONNIE DEWAYNE MORRIS (pictured), on February 3, 2025, and charged him with felony aggravated animal cruelty and abandonment of animals.


MORRIS admitted to investigators Nala was his dog and that he had stopped taking care of her in December.


MORRIS was arraigned and released on his own recognizance due to New York State Bail reform laws. In this regard, Sullivan County Sheriff Michael A. Schiff said: “This is an example of why the bail laws in New York need to change” and he is supporting a proposal in the state legislature to make animal cruelty a bail eligible offense. Sheriff Schiff further said: “The public needs to contact their senator and assembly person and express their dissatisfaction with the current system.”


The scum is due back in court on March 3, 2025, at 5:00 p.m before Judge Baum.
