17 DEAD ANIMALS AT ONE GEORGIA HOME. BOTH ARRESTED. BOTH ALREADY OUT.
Hall County Animal Control found 13 dead chickens, 3 dead ducks and a dead dog on Yellow Creek Road in Murrayville.
Another dog was in the kennel with that body. Severely underweight.
Dogs inside the house were underweight too.
Per the arrest report, KC Parker, 20, said he couldn't afford their care after the breakup. No license. But he had a phone.
Montana Adkins said a locked gate kept her out. The report says there wasn't even a fence stopping anyone from getting in.
Officers say neither one gave these animals adequate food, water or sanitary conditions.
Picture your dog in that kennel.
Arrested Monday. Out Tuesday on $50,400 bond each.
Seventeen animals dead and that's the price tag.

A HORSE NAMED PINTO WAS TIED TO A PICKUP. THE PLEA DEAL CAPS JAIL AT 179 DAYS.
Las Vegas police say Pinto was found dead June 25 in east Las Vegas after being lassoed to an F-150.
Guadalupe Camarillo Guarneros, 62, turned himself in July 3. Bail was $5,000.
On October 22 he pleaded guilty to 4 gross misdemeanor conspiracy counts. Those counts also cover 10 pigs, 21 chickens, a puppy, a kitten, a piglet and a ferret.
Sentencing is November 4, and the plea caps his jail time at 179 days.
Pinto is dead, and the cap is less than six months. Should that be the most a judge can give?

🚨 KING CHARLES IS HEADING TO ANTIGUA. STRAY DOGS ARE BEING REMOVED AHEAD OF HIS VISIT.
The government has given us assurances of humane treatment, but no clear information about where the dogs are being taken or what happens next.
Look out for calls to action in the morning ✅

A FIRE KILLED A PIT BULL NAMED NALA AND HER 7 PUPPIES. THE MAN CHARGED IS STILL ON THE RUN.
The Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office in Texas has charged Abraham Salomon Chacon, about 40, with first degree arson of a habitation and third degree animal cruelty.
Nala and all 7 of her puppies died in that fire.
As of now, Chacon is still wanted. If you know where he is, contact the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office.
A mother dog and her babies had nowhere to go. Somebody out there knows where he’s hiding.
Will you share this so someone in Bastrop County sees his name?

I have absolutely awful news...
Two Americans and MAGA Trump voters in Charlotte NC have just been k*lled by a drunk-driving illegal immigrant from Mexico.
He is labelled as a "WHITE CAUCASIAN" male in the arrest records, despite being a Mexican illegal alien.
Their names were Rodney Quinn and Dana Osborne.
He was 66. She was 63.
On Saturday, October 24th, around 6:30 in the evening, they were riding down Moores Chapel Road in west Charlotte.
Police say a Honda Pilot turned left out of a driveway onto Moores Chapel Road... right into their path.
Police say the driver FAILED TO YIELD.
Rodney tried to stop his motorcycle, but it wasn’t enough.
The Harley hit the front corner of the Honda, went down on its side, and both of them were THROWN into the road.
They were wearing DOT-approved helmets, they did everything right.
But sadly, paramedics pronounced them both DE*D at the scene.
The driver of the Honda? Police say he had NO INJURIES.
His name is Jose Salas Tzompaxtle, and he’s 36 and an illegal alien from Mexico who has been arrested TWICE before for driving without a license, and was never deported.
Say their names. Rodney Quinn. Dana Osborne.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

🚨#BREAKING: A family in Georgia is outraged after they paid to have their 4-year-old pug named Cha Cha euthanized...
...and then MONTHS LATER later saw a photo on Facebook of their dog ALIVE AND WELL with a vet from the animal hospital
The story is wild.
According to the family, Cha Cha the dog got very sick, the vets told them it was organ failure and diabetic ketoacidosis... so the family decided euthanisia was the best course of action.
The family said goodbye in March, paid the bill, and went home grieving.
But according to the family, someone at that hospital was very attached to Cha Cha, because a worker took her home instead.
Months later, Rebecca (the owner of Cha Cha) was scrolling Facebook and saw a photo.
Her words: “I knew scrolling like that’s my dog.”
Even more wild...the vet's husband confirmed it, his wife not only had Cha Cha, but he says the pug was in GOOD HEALTH.
The dog they were told was dying was actually ALIVE and DOING WELL.
But it gets worse.
When the family went to the hospital, managers DENIED IT, Rebecca says they got a LAWYER and won’t talk about it.
Then, the family believes, the hospital put Cha Cha down to hide what happened.
Rebecca’s words:
“The fact that they put a healthy dog down. That’s just sick.”
And this is NOT the first time.
Earlier this year, another family said their cat Annie was supposed to be euthanized at the SAME hospital, and a worker took her home too.
The hospital admitted it “fell short” that time.
And Annie? She was put down too.
So twice now, a dog or cat has been alive and cared for after the family said goodbye.
...this is beyond insane

AUTHORITIES SAY A DOG RESCUE FOUNDER TOOK DONATIONS WHILE 30 DOGS WENT WITHOUT FOOD.
Ashley Nichole Georgia, 38, founded the bully breed rescue Pittie Project PNW in Whatcom County, Washington. Prosecutors and the Sheriff's Office say she now faces 30 counts of first degree animal cruelty, a class C felony.
Deputies seized about 30 dogs on October 5. Sheriff's spokesperson Deb Slater says they had open wounds and worms, fur matted with feces and urine, and ribs, hips and leg bones showing. The probable cause statement says there was no food or water, and that the place "was anything but a rescue."
The Sheriff's Office says she collected donated food and thousands of dollars meant for those dogs. The property owner says at least one dog died.
She was arrested Friday, and her arraignment was set for Monday. The dogs are at the Whatcom Humane Society, and all of them are expected to fully recover.
Before you give to a rescue, how do you make sure the money actually reaches the dogs?

🇨🇳 🐕 GOOD NEWS: TWO CHINESE CITIES TAKE STEPS AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY
Amid the heartbreaking stories of animal abuse coming out of China, here’s some encouraging news.
Two Chinese cities have adopted new regulations explicitly prohibiting the abuse and abandonment of dogs.
✅ SANYA, HAINAN
• Explicitly prohibits abusing and abandoning dogs.
• Introduces fines of ¥500–1,000 for abandonment if owners fail to comply with an order to rectify it.
• Bans offenders from keeping dogs for FIVE YEARS.
✅ HUAI’AN, JIANGSU
• Explicitly prohibits dog abuse and abandonment.
• Introduces fines of ¥500–2,000 for abandoning dogs.
• Prohibits adopters from abusing, abandoning or selling adopted dogs.
⚠️ BUT THERE’S STILL A MAJOR GAP.
Neither regulation establishes a specific standalone penalty for abusing a dog.
And neither provides the comprehensive protections needed to address atrocities like what happened to Wang Wang and her puppies.
China still lacks a national law generally criminalizing deliberate cruelty to companion animals.
But these developments matter.
They demonstrate that Chinese lawmakers CAN explicitly prohibit animal abuse. The next step is to make those prohibitions enforceable, with meaningful consequences for perpetrators.
I want to recognize the tireless efforts of Chinese animal advocates who continue pushing for stronger protections.
Progress deserves recognition. But recognition must never become complacency.
Keep pushing. Keep raising awareness. Keep supporting Chinese activists.
For Wang Wang. For her puppies. For every animal still suffering.
🐾❤️

Major has now spent more than 570 days alone in a kennel at Austin's animal shelter.
On Sept 29 a federal judge said he'd rule within 10 days on whether an outside expert can evaluate him. That was almost four weeks ago and the public court record still shows no ruling. The judge held a status conference by Zoom on Oct 19. Then on Oct 22 Major's owner asked the court to narrow his lawsuit down to one claim, the disability rights claim under the ADA, and the city didn't oppose it.
Nothing filed since Oct 7, when both sides agreed to extend the order stopping the city from putting him down, says that protection has ended. So Major is still waiting. Still no human touch.
If you missed it, a driver hit Major on a walk in March 2025. Hurt and scared, he bit a woman who was trying to lift him into a car. His owner says Major helps him with a brain injury and seizures. Austin wants him put down. All his owner is asking for is an independent evaluation first.
More than 54,000 people have signed the petition to free him.
Call Mayor Kirk Watson's office at 512-978-2100 and ask the city to allow an independent evaluation of Major before anyone makes this permanent.
How much longer does a dog sit in a cage waiting on a ruling that was due on Oct 9?

Deputies say she tied a dog to a fence with no food, water or shelter, and left him there until he died.
His name was Pablo, a mixed breed boxer in Fort Lauderdale.
According to a BSO arrest affidavit, on Oct 18 Raynanda Herring, 31, found Pablo had gone to the bathroom inside a home in the 2900 block of NW 8th Place. She tied him to a backyard fence on a 6 foot leash. He couldn’t move more than about a foot.
The affidavit says she told deputies she came back around 5:30am Tuesday, saw he was still alive, and left him tied up without food or water. Deputies told her to call animal control. Investigators say she never did.
Pablo was found dead later that day.
She’s charged with animal cruelty causing cruel death or pain and suffering, and failure to provide food and water to a confined animal.
Prosecute it to the fullest. Pablo deserved that much.

Elon Musk opens up about a Tesla employee who was fired after violently assaulting a woman for 'stepping on his prayer rug'
Tesla fired him.
Months later he walked into a bar in Austin and kiIIed three people while wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie.
This isn’t a random mental health incident.
It’s an ideology that places its rules above your rights and answers perceived insults with violence.
Elon, "Now I don't think we should allow people like that into the country. Do you?"
