GERONOMY GEORGE EZRA seen on distressing video walking and swinging a small puppy by her tiny legs

Updated: Mar 5

- Hawaii, USA -


Tips from the community allowed the Honolulu Police Department to arrest a vile individual who was seen in a viral video walking in Waianae while swinging a puppy by her tiny back legs.


Police arrested 22-year-old GERONOMY GEORGE EZRA (pictured), on February 26, 2025, and charged him with second-degree cruelty to animals. EZRA was initially booked for an unrelated warrant.


As explained by Khon2, the offence right now is a misdemeanor but “animal advocates, like the Hawaiian Humane Society, are working with lawmakers to push certain instances to a Class B Felony.”


Steph Kendrick, Hawaiian Humane Society director of community engagement, told Khon2: “It’s a source of enormous frustration for our officer team that our judicial system doesn’t take these cases more seriously and this is not a new pattern.”


HawaiiNewsNow learned from Chantell Moniz, founder and president of the nonprofit Hina’s Legacy Rescue Foundation, that a supporter was able to track down EZRA thanks to tips from the community. Ms. Moniz told HawaiiNewsNow: “There was a person who went and got the pup from the abuser and removed her and they took her to the vet. There is no chip. We don’t know where this person got her from.”


The good news is that the furvictim had been seen by a veterinarian and she is doing well.


HawaiiNewsNow reports that State Rep. Darius Kila is sponsoring a bill that would increase some misdemeanor offenses, such as the intentional death of an animal, to a felony, increasing the minimum penalty at sentencing. House Bill 698 will go for a full House vote next week. If passed, it will then go to the Senate.


Let’s keep our paws crossed!

CIRILO RODRIGUEZ JR arrested – One dead dog and three starving dogs euthanized in El Paso County

- Texas, USA -


On February 19, 2025, deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office East Montana Patrol Station were dispatched to a residence in the 3800 block of Zachariah Road for an animal welfare check.


When deputies arrived, they found three dogs separately confined in small crates, securely latched, without bedding or mats and filled with urine and feces. The dogs’ ribs, shoulder, and hip bones were visible and according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, the furvictims “showed severe signs of physical distress, including malnutrition and lethargy, as they had been forced to eat their own feces due to a lack of food.” Deputies did not find any food or water for the poor souls.


The sheriff’s office also said that the dogs “were barely moving and showed little interest in their surroundings.” One of three dogs was sleeping on the cold bottom of the case he/she was in.


Sadly, deputies also found a deceased dog inside a cage.


With the assistance of the Animal Welfare Department, the surviving dogs were removed and taken to receive medical care. The sheriff’s office said that due to the severity of their condition, the three dogs were reluctantly euthanized by the City of El Paso Animal Services.


An investigation led to the arrest of 47-year-old CIRILO RODRIGUEZ JR (pictured).

The scum was charged with four counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility with a total bond set at $22,500.


The sheriff’s office said, “The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will not tolerate animal cruelty and is committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions. We will continue to vigorously prosecute those who engage in acts that cause harm to animals or commit related offenses.”

TYLER FLINT GRIMES arrested – Police found a decaying dog and malnourished cat and dog in his home

- Connecticut, USA -


Following a traffic stop conducted by officers with the Torrington Police Department, 40-year-old TYLER FLINT GRIMES (pictured) was placed under arrest on an active warrant stemming from an animal cruelty investigation.


According to the arrest warrant, on August 19, 2024, Goshen Animal Control Officer Graham received a phone call regarding GRIMES. ACO Graham had had dealings with him in the past when his dog named Gonzo had run away from him.


ACO Graham reached out to the Connecticut State Police and Troopers Begley and Coretto were dispatched to meet with her.


ACO Graham reported that when she arrived at GRIMES' home, the home lacked basic maintenance and that there was a strong odor of decay coming from two open doorways in the home. According to the report, it was clear that GRIMES' living situation was unsuitable for humans, and especially unsuitable for animals.


ACO Graham said that the initial room had an array of objects that were piled in heaps about waist height, and at some points higher than that.


When ACO Graham and Trooper Coretto went to the ground floor, at the bottom of the stairs they found a deceased Pitbull named Harlem estimated to be around 3 years old. Harlem was surrounded in fecal matter and he was lying in his own intestines. Draped across Harlem's neck was a cord from the curtain above him. Given the condition Harlem was found in, officers determined he had been dead for approximately a month. Harlem was malnourished with bones clearly visible under the skin. As stated in the report, Harlem likely did not die of natural causes, but rather neglect.


As officers were examining Harlem, they heard a meowing coming from a cat inside the home. ACO Graham said that when she petted the feline, named Little Cat, she “could only feel her skeletal structure”, indicating she was extremely malnourished.


In the kitchen, officers found empty cat food cans and dog food bags, and other clutter lying on the floor that was covered with feces. There was also a couch in the center of this disarray and on the couch was a Pitbull named Gonzo sitting quietly. ACO Graham said Gonzo was extremely friendly and “navigated through the room over to us.” Gonzo was malnourished, had what looked to be a tumor growing from his leg, masses across the body, and his nails were overgrown.


When ACO Graham took a statement from the caller, she learned that GRIMES had had the animals for years and had “resources available to him from the town and friends that he declined to utilize.” The caller advised ACO Graham that she told GRIMES she would take Little Cat but he refused to give her the cat or surrender the animals.


ACO Graham explained in her report that Little Cat and Gonzo were taken into “what is known as emergency custody, pending a verified petition to the court to receive permanent custody.”


Little Cat and Gonzo were examined by a veterinarian and it was determined that Gonzo had a bilateral ear infection, a skin infection, was malnourished, his nails were severely overgrown causing deformation to his feet. He also had masses across the entirety of his body and a significant wheeze. His ears were so chronically infected that one of his ear canals was closed shut.


According to the report, Gonzo's first bowel movement consisted of paper products and trash, and very little fecal matter, indicating that he had likely been primarily eating contents from the floor rather than dog food.


Little Cat was severely malnourished with prominent spine, hip, rib protrusion, and significant muscle wasting. At the kennel, Little Cat immediately drank over a cup and a half of water, to the point where staff had to slow down her drinking.


GRIMES was arrested on February 14, 2024, transferred to State Police custody and transported to Troop L in Litchfield for processing.

GRIMES was charged with three counts of cruelty to animals and bond was set at $75,000.
