“Please if anybody knows anything about this, contact the police! These gangs must be punished for what they do; mocking a homeless person is one thing, beating them & killing their dog is another! If they can kick a dog to death, what else are they capable of? I would like to bet if they own dogs, then their dogs suffer from their abusive behaviour too! Young people like this if not reprimanded now will grow up to have no respect for any life; they will probably kill again, it’s in their nature; they are void of feelings when killing!! So if you know something & don’t own up (you can do it anonymously), then another death may be on your conscience. Video included in link below!”
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Fresno police arrested two teenagers accused of beating up a 45-year-old homeless man and killing his small dog.
Police arrested 18-year-old Alejandro Lopez and a 16-year-old male after they were identified by the victim. Police suspect both are gang members.
Police say the victim is a 45-year-old homeless man who was walking through the parking lot of the Mosqueda Community Center in Southeast Fresno before 10:00 p.m. Monday.
Lt Jose Garza with the Fresno Police Department says officers don’t know the victim’s encounter with the group of teens turned violent.
“For gang members they really don’t need a reason to victimize people, they do it, that’s what they do,” Garza said. “They surrounded him and started kicking knocked him to the ground.”
Garza said they started yelling out their gang before they started their assault. Garza also said the man had a backpack. The man’s dog, a terrier-mix named Snoopy, was in the backpack. Garza said the teens turned their attention to the man’s pet.
“They took the dog out of the backpack and repeatedly kicked the dog and ended up killing it,” he said.
Garza said there were two teenager women with the group of attackers who took pity on the victim, who helped him up and told him to run.
The victim ran to a convenience store down the street, at the corner of E. Butler Ave. and S. Maple Ave.
The store clerk told Action News he remember seeing the man frantic in the parking lot, telling customers that he had been attacked and his dog was dead. The clerk said the man was able to flag down a police car that was stopped at the traffic light.
Police say the victim is fine and refused treatment. He was released at the scene.
Officers believe there were five or six people involved in the attack. They are asking the public’s help in finding the rest.
The suspects in custody are facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and cruelty towards animals.
“OMG…what a POS…this video is very upsetting, I’m crying as I write this! Not just because I own a Chihuahua, they are such tiny innocent little angels; but because I can’t believe he did this & just drove off. This MF has to go to jail for this, he intended to hit that dog & he did, swerving to do so! I wish I could tell him personally what I think of him; he doesn’t deserve to have a life any more, so he should go take a long walk off a short pier & do us all a favour. Evil sick bxxxxxd, it takes a certain type of person to be that cruel, or rather a psycho; he is also in the porn business & obviously loves himself judging by the picture below!

Michael David Parker, 45, was arrested Friday on suspicion of animal cruelty after little Cow Cow was found lifeless in a back alley in Hawthorne. Police released a disturbing surveillance video that they say shows Parker driving his sedan straight over the helpless pooch, and then zooming away.
Viewer Discretion Strongly Advised
A southern California man intentionally mowed down his pint-sized pet Chihuahua using his Nissan Maxima — and the heartless act was caught by two surveillance cameras, police said Monday.
Michael David Parker, 45, was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony animal cruelty after the precious pooch, named Cow Cow, was found lifeless in a back alley in Hawthorne, Calif.
Michael David Parker, 45, of Hawthorne, Calif., was arrested Friday on suspicion of animal cruelty after his pet Chihuahua, Cow Cow, was found dead in a back alley.
In the disturbing surveillance video released by police, Parker is seen driving his four-door sedan into the alley on Dec. 28, getting out of his vehicle, opening and closing the trunk and then climbing back into the car.
Seconds later, Cow Cow scurries out from behind the vehicle and darts in front of it.
Parker then backs up and points the car straight at the helpless hound. He guns the engine and zooms over the dog without stopping.
Video showing the back of the car shows 5-year-old Cow Cow writhing on the road until he turns motionless.
Police say Parker (pictured) admits he was in the alley that afternoon but claims he didn’t mean to harm Cow Cow.
‘It’s shocking,’ Hawthorne Police Lt. Scott Swain told the Daily News. ‘You never expect to see a little animal like that run over and left there to die.’
“It’s shocking. You never expect to see a little animal like that run over and left there to die without the driver even looking back,” Hawthorne Police Lt. Scott Swain told the Daily News.
EVIL Michael David Parker
“It wasn’t an accident. He purposefully did it.”
Lt. Swain said Parker admits he was in the alley that afternoon but claims he didn’t mean to harm the defenceless dog.
The dog had been staying with a neutral third-party after Parker and his wife recently split up, he said.
“There’s not indication it was tied to a domestic dispute,” Lt. Swain said Monday.
“We spoke to the wife, and she didn’t know it had happened. She didn’t give any indication it might have been payback.”
Parker posted $20,000 bail and was ordered back to court for arraignment on March 25.

In a disturbing crime caught entirely on video, a 45-year-old man purposely drove over his pet Chihuahua, speeding away as the bloodied dog convulsed and died in a Hawthorne alley, police said Monday.
SICK POS!!!!
Michael David Parker, 45, of Hawthorne was arrested Friday on suspicion of animal cruelty. He was released from jail after posting $20,000 bail, Hawthorne police Lt. Scott Swain said.
“It’s a little poor defenceless dog and the guy just runs right over it and leaves and doesn’t offer any help,” Swain said.
Parker admitted to police that he’s in the video, but told detectives it was an accident. The shocking video, however, seems to suggest otherwise.
“You can see him swerving toward the dog,” Swain said.
Parker, the facilities manager at the Hustler Casino in Gardena, did not return a message left at his office. A friend of Parker’s estranged wife, Olga Parker, told the Daily Breeze that the killing stemmed from a bitter divorce. The couple’s two dogs, Cow Cow and Lucky, lived at the couple’s otherwise vacant house on First Street in San Pedro. Olga Parker stopped by every day to feed them. Now that Cow Cow has been found dead, Olga Parker is concerned about Lucky, who is missing.
“She is so distraught right now,” the friend said. “He knew that Olga loved these dogs desperately.”
Police and animal control officers began an investigation Thursday when a resident reported the dead animal in an alley off El Segundo Boulevard and Doty Avenue. The dog had been dead for several days, so someone had placed it in a plastic bag, Swain said.
The resident went to police after reviewing surveillance video focused on the alley. The video shows a man pulling into the alley on Dec. 28 and, after a couple of minutes, running over the dog, Swain said.
“The resident was shocked,” Swain said. “I went over there with a detective Friday morning. I watched it and you are horrified.”
The video shows the man get out of his car and open the trunk. He then gets back into his car. The male dog, 5-1/2-year-old Cow Cow, which had presumably been in the trunk, runs forward and stops in the center of the alley.
“Parker backs his vehicle up, and then appears to accelerate rapidly, steering directly toward the dog,” Swain said. “Cow Cow is run completely over.”
A second video shot from the rear of the car shows the dog writhing on the ground until it dies.
“It’s gruesome,” Swain said. “It starts bleeding, his little back leg twitching.”
Police said the motive for the crime was unknown, even though Parkerand his wife are estranged.
“There’s no indication that’s it, ‘I’m angry at you. That’s why I’m doing that,’ ” Swain said. “It is both of their dogs. So we don’t have a motive.He was arrested and he didn’t want to go into details. He didn’t indicate why he did it.”
But Parker’s estranged wife’s friend, who asked to remain anonymous for his own protection, said Parker became irate Dec. 28 when she refused to sign their San Pedro house over to him.
“He made threats against her and her family,” the friend said. “He said, ‘You are going to sign these documents or else.’ ”
Olga Parker filed for divorce in the summer of 2011 following 16 years of marriage. The couple have three children — two boys ages 15 and 12, and a 6-year-old daughter. Parker has since had a child with a new girlfriend.
The divorce settlement has slowly been making its way through family court. The friend said cutbacks in the Superior Court system in Los Angeles County have slowed the process.
Parkerand his estranged wife both moved out of their San Pedro residence, but Parker wants to take control of it, the wife’s friend said.
“This guy is just a piece of work,” the friend said. “He believes he is above the law because of his position with Larry Flynt.”
Flynt, a famous publisher of pornographic magazines, owns the Hustler Casino where Parker works.
The friend described the missing dog, Lucky, as a black mutt, with a white underside.
Olga Parker has told her children that the dogs are gone and that one was killed. One child told his mother he did not believe his father would do such a thing, the friend said.
Parker is scheduled for arraignment March 25 at the Airport courthouse in Del Aire.
“This has gone too far,” the friend said. “If this guy doesn’t go to jail for this, there is no justice.”
“At last he has been caught, I remember doing this story back in May. Lets hope he gets what he deserves; if he can do that to a kitten in public, what happens behind closed doors?”
AUSTIN — Austin police have arrested a man for kicking kittens and throwing them across a grocery storeparking lot. Mark Sheldon Watson, 29, is charged with cruelty to non-livestock animals. That’s a state jailfelony.
According to his arrestaffidavit, on May 12, 2012, Watson came to the HEB located at 2110 W. Slaughter Lane with a box of kittens to give away. The box said “Free Kittens for Mother’s Day.” When store managers asked Watson to leave the property, police say he became angry and violent.
Witnesses watched as Watson kicked the box of kittens, then picked one up and threw it hard, 50-60 feet across the parking lot. That kitten did not survive, but its brother, Banjo, did. Banjo was taken to an animal shelter in Travis County.
The affidavit says HEB hassurveillance video of the incident showing the kitten hitting the ground, then shaking uncontrollably.
Police say witnessestried following Watson but he picked up a cinder block and hurled it at them.
Investigators tried tracking down Watson. They released surveillance video of him walking away from the store.
Police were unable to make an arrest until Sept. 10. That’s when a woman came forward and reported that Watson was showing her theTV news reports of the incident on a smartphone and bragging that he was the one responsible.
Austin police arrested Watson and charged him with a state jail felony. If convicted, he faces up to two years in state jail.
The suspect, 39-year-old Scott Andrew Graham, is accused of stealing and mutilating cats in a Mesa neighborhood.
Graham is charged with theft, mistreatment of animals and two counts ofcruelty to animals.
Neighbour Ben Smith spotted a suspiciousvehicleMonday night that he had seen in the neighborhood before, and decided to follow it and get its license plate number, police said.
A patrol officer found the home that the car was registered to and found out the suspect lives in the home with relatives, but he was not there at the time. When Graham returned home, he admitted to officers that he had taken 30 to 40 cats from the area. He denied harming the cats, he told police he only played with them and released them somewhere else.
Based on evidence at the home and in Graham’s vehicle, and surveillance video from the neighborhood, police found probable cause to arrest him.
Back on August 8, surveillance video showed a figure snatching a cat perched on his owner’s SUV. The cat was found killed days later. More and more cats continued to disappear in the neighborhood.
Trish Ferguson’scat Lil Bit went missing in April.
“That is unbelievable, and just knowing he probably tortured her. It’s not fair it’s not right… it’s been very difficult, she was our baby she was part of the family.”
As more and more cats went missing and neighbors had suspicions there was foul play, neighbourhood block watch captain Ben Smith knew something had to be done.
“The past three weeks me and a couple of neighbors have been patrolling all hours of the night,” says Smith. Monday night, the patrols paid off.
Turns out that Smith saw the suspect and his vehicle in the neighborhood while on his bicycle once before, but the suspect threw a cat out the window and got away.
According to court paperwork, the evidence that policefound in Graham’s vehicle was cat hair, blood, and the trunk smelled of “dead animal.”
GATESVILLE (April 20, 2012)–A Coryell County couple set to go to trial Monday in a case that involved the mistreatment of dozens of animals will have to wait a little longer for a day in court after Judge Trent Farrell agreed Friday to continue the case until September.
Curtis and Racine Moore are each charged with 10 counts of cruelty to livestock animals, two counts of illegal dumping and an additional 64 counts of cruelty to non-livestock animals.
Both are free on bonds totaling $101,000 each.
The Moores were arrested on Jan. 31, 2011 after authorities executed search and seizure warrants on their ranch and home on Marriott Road in southwestern Coryell County.
The original warrant was for the seizure of horses, but investigators encountered more than they expected as they searched the property.
As a result, the 39 horses were delivered to a Gatesville veterinarian and a second seizure warrant was obtained for another 230 dogs, 13 rodents, 18 cats, a primate, a deer, a raccoon, a monitor lizard, two Bengal tigers and two mountain lions.
The Houston office of the SPCA took custody of all of the animals except for the horses, which remain in the care of the vet in Gatesville.
A Coryell County jury in May 2011 ordered the couple to pay a $60,000 judgment to a woman who was employed by the Moore’s and sued them because their dog bit her.
Dina Maze also was awarded medical damages to cover the cost of her treatment after a Rottweiler that was owned by Curtis and Racine Moore bit her in 2008.
A second defendant in the suit, Gary Friedel, owner of the Topsey Wildlife Ranch, was judged to not be responsible for any of Maze’s injuries.
Friedel had no connection to the event other than he was the landowner who leased land to the Moores.
Maze claims that while she worked for the Moores at their animal ranch in 2008, a Rottweiler dog she was charged with feeding bit her.
At the time the Moores were leasing property from Friedel adjacent to his Topsey Wildlife Ranch.
Maze’s lawyers, from the Carlson firm, claimed Maze was bitten while trying to feed a female Rottweiler after entering the dog’s cage.
Two game farmers and two field guides are among five men arrested in connection with rhino poaching in northern KwaZulu-Natal who will apply for bail on Thursday, according to a report.
Farmers Ewart Potgieter, 34, from Louwsburg, and Riaan Vermaak, 32, from Newcastle, were arrested on March 4 after police set a trap for them, Beeld reported on Tuesday.
The two field guides, Nkosinathi Sithole and Mduduzi Sithole, were both employed by the Mkhuze Falls private game reserve near Pongola, while the fifth suspect, Filemon Mbatha, was a farm worker.
The five men were allegedly led by undercover policemen to believe that they would be able to poach ten rhinos in the game reserve. They were arrested shortly after they had cut the game reserve’s fence.
Police confiscated a number of weapons, and later allegedly found forged US bank notes with a face value of US22,300 (R168,334) at Potgieter’s house.
The five men appeared in the Magudu Magistrate’s Court on a number of charges, and a bail application would resume on Thursday.
An off-duty Miami police officer arrested at gunpoint an animal-rights activist outside a marine-mammal rehabilitation site in Key Largo.
Arnold Christopher Lagergren, 41, also of Miami, is charged with four misdemeanor counts of trespass and vandalism for alleged incidents at the Marine Mammal Conservancy. Police reports describe him as affiliated with the international Animal Liberation Front organization, which advocates “direct action” against animal captivity.
The Marine Mammal Conservancy was founded to treat stranded whales and dolphins and prepare them for return to the wild. However, two pilot whales from a Lower Keys stranding in May were turned over to SeaWorld after experts concluded that neither a calf nor a sickly adult could survive if released.
Javier Ortiz, described in a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office report as an off-duty Miami police sergeant, was volunteering Saturday with the conservancy when he blocked Lagergren’s car and pulled a gun on the suspect. Monroe County Court Judge Regan Ptomey set bonds totaling $30,000 on the four charges, according to court records.
“This is a very politically charged situation, obviously,” said Richard Wunsch, Lagergren’s defense attorney.
“It does raise concerns,” Wunsch said. “Anybody would wonder how you get hit with a $30,000 bond on four misdemeanors after being arrested by an armed guy 100 miles from his jurisdiction.”
