RICHEL YUMAR-GONZALEZ, former dog groomer, caught on a doorbell camera violently kicking a small dog

- Florida, USA -

 

If it wasn’t for doorbell cameras, security cameras, and witnesses, how many savages like 33-year-old RICHEL YUMAR-GONZALEZ (pictured) would get away with animal cruelty?

 

Miami-Dade Animal Services said in a Facebook post that on August 19, 2024, its investigators contacted Intracoastal District detectives to report an animal cruelty incident captured on a residential doorbell camera.

 

The incident took place in the hallway of a building at the Jade Winds apartment complex on 1700 Northeast 191st Street in Hialeah.

 

The video showed YUMAR-GONZALEZ wearing a t-shirt advertising Deluxe Mobile Grooming Company based in Hialeah.

In the beginning of the video, a small white Maltese-Shih Tzu mix named Coco, can be seen running down the hallway and YUMAR-GONZALEZ kicks the furbaby so hard that the kick can actually be heard! YUMAR-GONZALEZ goes after Coco who turns around and the savage ruthlessly kicks Coco again whose loud yelp really leaves a knot in your stomach!  

YUMAR-GONZALEZ then walks out of the view of the camera with Coco following him.

 

Animal Services investigators located the owner of the grooming company whom news outlets identified as Yosuany Rodriguez. Mr. Rodriguez advised that after learning about the incident, he immediately terminated YUMAR-GONZALEZ.

 

According to CBS News, Mr. Rodriguez said he found out about the incident on the morning of Saturday, August 10, 2024, five days after the attack on the dog, when he saw two negative reviews online. Mr. Rodriguez said that he also received pictures taken from the surveillance video that went viral and recognized YUMAR-GONZALEZ.

Mr. Rodriguez then asked his employee whether he had kicked the dog and YUMAR-GONZALEZ said he did.

 

The Miami-Dade Police Department arrested YUMAR-GONZALEZ on one count of animal cruelty. Police said YUMAR-GONZALEZ admitted to kicking Coco and claimed he was bathing Coco and the pup bit his finger.  

 

On August 22, 2024, the savage was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in West Miami-Dade after posting a meager $500 bond.

Like a true coward, YUMAR-GONZALEZ ran away from the reporters who were waiting to ask him questions.

Individuals like YUMAR-GONZALEZ only go after those who cannot fight back and cannot defend themselves!

 

Coco was examined by a veterinarian and is thankfully expected to be ok.

EYEISHA TASHAWN YOUNG arrested – 9 dogs left in cages in summer heat with no food or water, 1 died

- Texas, USA -

 

An investigation conducted by the Manor Police Department resulted in the arrest of 31-year-old EYEISHA TASHAWN YOUNG (pictured).

 

YOUNG is accused of leaving nine helpless dogs in cages outside in the summer heat with no food or water causing the death of one of them.

 

Police said in a news release that two of the dogs “were left in animal sweaters, commonly used to protect animals from cold weather.”

 

When officials were at the scene rescuing the dogs, the temperature in Manor was 104 with a heat index of 108, according to the US National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio Texas.

 

YOUNG was arrested and transported to the Travis County Jail.

 

I emailed Manor Police Chief Ryan Phipps to inquire a little bit more about this case. I asked him why YOUNG had so many dogs and whether she was breeding them. To that, Chief Phipps answered: “There was no indication that this was a dog mill, but there was some indication that the female dogs had previously had puppies.”

 

With regard to the deceased furvictim, Chief Phipps said that the dog was a female Pitbull but her age and name are not known. A necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of her death.

 

The surviving dogs “are safe and in the process of being lawfully seized by Manor Police Detectives and will [be] placed in animal rescues.”

 

I took the liberty of naming the deceased furvictim Gardenia for the tribute image. Should her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

JONATHAN ZACHARY URQUIZO arrested after his severely neglected dog had to be euthanized

- Florida, USA -

 

On the early evening of August 15, 2024, the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call from Blue Pearl Animal Hospital on 9500 Marketplace Road in Fort Myers in reference to an animal neglect case.

 

Deputy Barreto responded to the scene and learned from the staff that 26-year-old JONATHAN ZACHARY URQUIZO (pictured), brought his dog in for emergency treatment.

The report obtained by Voice For Us identified the dog as a 16-year-old female Golden Labrador mix named Molly.

 

According to the report, Molly was emaciated and had “maggots crawling out of her rectum.” The veterinarian who examined Molly determined that due to her condition, Molly had been neglected for some time.

 

Given the nature of the incident, Detective Melissa Harvey also responded to the scene and made contact with the veterinarian who had treated Molly,  Dr. Meredith.

Dr. Meredith explained that when Molly was brought in, she was cachectic “which is beyond emaciated.” Additionally, Molly was severely dehydrated “at 10-12% which is life threatening”, stated the reports.

 

Molly had no ability to focus and had glassy eyes.

 

Dr. Meredith showed Detective Harvey the maggots that were crawling out of Molly's rectum and vulva. Molly's vulva was “bright red and severely irritated.” Molly also had various stages of flea infestation, was not ambulatory, and her blood pressure was so low it was unattainable.

 

As if all that was not enough, Molly's toenails were over an inch long and “drastically curved.” Dr. Meredith said it would be “excruciating for her to walk.”

 

Dr. Meredith further explained to Detective Harvey that she did not want to give Molly pain reliever “due to the possibility of them killing her.” She went on to say that Molly's condition did not happen in one or two weeks but it would have been over months to manifest. Then, she estimated that Molly would not make it 6-12 hours.

 

Dr. Meredith made contact with URQUIZO and advised him of her findings that this case is severe neglect and abuse. She also informed URQUIZO that euthanasia was necessary to end Molly's suffering.

 

According to the report, URQUIZO did not authorize the euthanasia despite knowing that death was impending based on Molly's vitals. He said he wanted to take her home and spend time with her before euthanasia. URQUIZO also expressed concern that the maggots could spread to his cat.

 

Detective Harvey attempted to speak with URQUIZO but he said he would not answer any questions.

 

Ultimately, a different veterinarian was authorized to proceed with Molly's euthanasia and afterwards her body was turned over to Lee County Domestic Animal services pending a necropsy.

 

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said: “It sickens me that this sweet dog, 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲, was just trying to live out her golden years but instead was treated so poorly by this  𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧.”

 

URQUIZO’s cat, Ladybug, was thankfully rescued and Sheriff Marceno said: “I thank God for allowing my deputies to rescue Ladybug and save her from a terrible ending like Molly’s.”

 

Ladybug was taken to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital to be treated.

 

The sheriff’s office posted a video on their Facebook page showing the deplorable conditions Ladybug and Molly were forced to live in. As the sheriff’s office said, the house was covered in animal feces throughout and the video “shows just how disgusting the condition of the residence was for these two animals to live in.”

 

URQUIZO was arrested and charged with felony aggravated animal cruelty excessive pain/death and issued a citation by Lee County Domestic Animal Services for unsanitary conditions.

 

He was booked into the Lee County Jail and as Sheriff Marceno rightfully said, “Unlike his pets, he was given a clean place to stay at the Marceno Motel.”

 

At the time of writing, online records show that URQUIZO was released after posting bond.

According to court records, URQUIZO is set to be arraigned at Lee County Circuit Court on September 16, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.
