Authorities are searching for the man who strangled and kicked a German Shepherd in Lynwood yesterday.

This happened near Atlantic Avenue & Martin Luther King Boulevard around 1:15 p.m. on December 1st. A witness saw this man choke and beat an adult German Shepherd, shove the dog into a milk crate attached to his bicycle, and ride off toward Abbott Road.

He’s described as a Hispanic male, about 30, medium build, with a tattoo on the right side of his neck. He was wearing a purple pullover and blue jeans, riding a black bike with a black milk crate on the front.

Witnesses believe he may be under the influence of drugs. If you see him - be careful approaching. Call authorities. The picture isn’t great, but it’s all we have.

will be in the area today searching for this man and the dog.

If you spot him or know anything, call immediately:

LA County Sheriff’s (Century Station): (323) 568-4800
LA County Animal Care & Control: (562) 940-6898

This dog needs to be found. And this man needs to be taken off the street.

In this photo is Kim Kardashian with a Hermès Birkin bag - made from elephant skin.

It’s 2025. We’re supposed to be evolving - instead we’re devolving.

Elephants are some of the most intelligent animals on Earth. They mourn their dead, protect their families, and feel pain just like we do. And here we are - turning their bodies into luxury accessories for people with more money than sense.

Someone at Hermès greenlit this. Kim Kardashian chose to promote it to millions of followers.

This isn’t luxury. This is cruelty rebranded as status.

For so long, so many of us have been working toward a more compassionate society - one free from cruelty, especially the wasteful and unnecessary kind. When we see something like this, it feels like we’re moving backwards.

This is animal welfare. When we made the connection - we signed up for all of it. Not just justice for dogs and cats when it’s easy.

If this bothers you - say something.
Just because Hermès and Kim think this was okay doesn’t mean we have to.

A shopping mall in Newcastle, Australia brought in live reindeer for a Christmas event - families lining up for photos, the mall calling it “Reindeer Cheer.”

Reindeer are built for Arctic cold. Newcastle in November is warm - and malls are loud, crowded, and chaotic. Nothing about that environment is safe or comfortable for them.

Local advocates called it out. The community pushed back. And the mall cancelled the rest of the December events. That happened because people spoke up.

But here’s the disconnect: people see something like this and think it’s cute and harmless. It’s not. Taking animals from their natural habitat and placing them into a confined, artificial environment like a shopping mall isn’t festive - it’s exploitation.

This is the same pattern we keep seeing like elephants giving rides, tigers in roadside zoos, dolphins and Orcas performing at SeaWorld, giraffes at wineries. If you pay to see it, you help keep it going. Your choices matter. Make the connection.

TikTok - help Identify this woman

This woman on TikTok is abusing animals. We need to find out who she is. Her TikTok handle: tiannadabaddi22

This paints a very bad picture of what’s going on in that home. You might be dealing with someone very unwell - and that’s a bad cocktail when someone has animals in their care.

Like all abusers, the first step is identifying them. We’re asking for the public’s help, especially those on TikTok, to find out more information.

If you know anything about this woman - name, city, state, employer, or any other identifiers - reach out to us.

Taiwan

This woman beat her dog over a torn pillow - and posted it for clicks.

Social media has brought out both the best and the worst in people. Cruelty becomes content. Abuse becomes entertainment. The algorithm rewards outrage and pushes it further every time people react.

At first we believed this was from mainland China. But our contacts analyzed the language and confirmed it’s Taiwan, and that surprised us.

Taiwan is the opposite of China. They are a nation with strong animal welfare laws - including a nationwide ban on dog and cat meat consumption since 2017. They don’t tolerate cruelty.

So why would someone here think this was okay and worth sharing?

We are working with contacts on the ground to identify this woman on instagram. We share cases like this to expose them. Silence protects abusers.

Thank you .daniel.1941

The pressure worked. Today, the owner of the pittie pup chained outside on Lincoln Avenue contacted and relinquished ownership.

Santa Ana Animal Control responded and ensured Taz was safely transported to ocanimalcare in Tustin. He’ll be evaluated and then put up for adoption soon.

This is what happens when people refuse to stay silent. You stood up for a dog who couldn’t stand up for himself - and now he has a chance at the life he deserves.

Thank you to everyone from all over the world who called, shared, emailed and refused to let this go. From Santa Ana to Los Angeles to across the globe - this is what community looks like. Thank you to Santa Ana PD and Santa Ana Animal Control for responding and ensuring Taz was safely transported. Special thanks to without whom none of this would have been possible.

His name is Taz ❤️

All of the pressure because of the phone calls led to issuing a statement. No matter what the outcome, it goes to show the importance of taking action.

We are grateful to everyone in the area and throughout the world who called and made their voice heard. Your calls matter. Your pressure works.

The statement says the dog was found in good health with proper shelter, water, and food - and no signs of cruelty. We are not buying any of that. No humane owner chains a dog on a leash so short he can barely move, surrounded by filth.

We’re asking locals in the area to continue monitoring his welfare. If you see him chained again or conditions decline, document it and report it immediately. Keep calling Santa Ana Animal Control for follow-up welfare checks.

We’re also willing to help facilitate rehoming him if the owner realizes they can’t provide adequate care. Sometimes people just need resources and a way out.

The results don’t diminish the effort. Action always matters - even when the system falls short.

Thank you to everyone who stood up.

This is occurring at 1503 Lincoln Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92701. This pittie pup is chained outside in filth - the chain so short he can barely move.

A follower of witnessed this dog’s condition and did the right thing by calling . Officers showed up, saw his suffering, shrugged it off as fine, and literally called him property. From what we heard all they did was remove the chain and the matter was closed.

This is how animals die - not always by violence, but by people in uniforms refusing to care or do their job. Animals may be considered property under the law, but cruelty isn’t.

This dog needs to be liberated from this environment. He deserves a life where he can turn around without choking. It looks less like a home and more like punishment. Like Third-World conditions, not the United States.

Please voice your concerns to the Santa Ana PD and animal control to push for this dog to be removed from the home:

Somewhere in Asia

Watch this elephant’s reaction when the young worker makes a threatening motion toward it. Immediate fear. This elephant is used to this treatment.

The woman speaks up, and we’re glad she did. But here’s the reality: by being there, she’s fueling the system that allows this cruelty.

For everyone who visits places like this - it is that money and support that fuels the prison and the system that confines these animals. Every ticket purchased keeps these places open. Every visitor enables the abuse that happens when cameras aren’t rolling.

This woman means well, but she’s supporting the very system she just witnessed. This is the importance of education. People think it’s harmless. It’s not.

If you don’t like what you see here, don’t visit places like this. Don’t fuel the system.

If anyone recognizes this location, let us know.

This is Katie and her mother Karen. This is their anguish as they listened to their entire flock of ostriches being slaughtered on their farm by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Marksmen took to towers and killed over 300 birds - firing more than 900 rounds late into the night. Some had been with the family for 30 years. Every one had a name. Every one suffered.

These birds weren’t sick. They survived avian flu a year ago and had natural immunity. The CFIA refused to allow testing and ordered them killed anyway.

This was a hard one to share. Many of us were deeply invested in these birds and their story, but it needed to be exposed. This is what government overreach looks like and when compassion is stripped away and cruelty becomes policy.

They didn’t have to do this. It was barbaric, inhumane - and it wasn’t done to help anyone.

Shame on the Canadian government and the CFIA.

Happening in Texas….

Locals in El Paso are looking to identify the man in this video severely abusing a dog. We’re sharing this to give the case more reach.

On Sunday evening, he was seen on Vin La Roda Drive repeatedly beating his unleashed dog. In the video, the poor pup is cowering in fear. When approached by a business manager, the man became hostile. By the time authorities arrived, both had left. He’s been seen around the Lower Valley area near Monticello Apartments and may be homeless.

National Security is offering $250 for tips leading to his identification and apprehension.

If you have information, contact:
National Security: (915) 544-2424
El Paso Animal Services Cruelty Unit: (915) 212-0800
Call 311 (El Paso city limits) or 911 if abuse in progress

UPDATE - Colombia

Fernando Alonso Oviedo surrendered to authorities after a video of him brutally beating a dog went viral on social media.

Governor Andrés Julián Rendón Cardona offered a 50 million peso reward for his arrest. With that kind of money on the table, anyone who knew him would flirt with 50 million pesos.

Oviedo showed up with a dog in a carrier claiming it’s the same one from the video - but we don’t believe it. That dog was beaten so brutally it couldn’t have survived much less even been able to stand up. Veterinarians will ultimately determine the truth.

He’s facing up to 6 years in prison under Ley Ángel (Angel’s Law). We’ve been told animal lovers in Colombia would take to the streets and riot if justice isn’t served - which is probably why this moved so quickly.

Thank you to everyone who shared the posts and made their voice heard. Justice comes through us never being silent.

Thank you
