Colombia

A video shows a man brutally beating a dog. He’s reportedly done this to multiple dogs.

Although this happened in Antioquia, Colombia, we’re hoping this can help lead to apprehending this man.

His name is Fernando Alonso Oviedo and he’s from Sonsón, Antioquia, Colombia. The governor, Andrés Julián Rendón Cardona, is offering 50 million pesos for information leading to his arrest.

This is a Colombian matter. Sending emails from the US or Europe won’t do anything here. We need people in Colombia to get involved and report this directly to authorities.

If you’re in Colombia: Dial 123 or tag the governor with any information about Oviedo’s whereabouts.

Videos like this are brutal to watch, but they’re necessary - this is why documenting abuse matters. It becomes evidence. Hopefully street justice catches up with him first.

As we continue the process of closing our 501(c)3, our beloved China shelter will continue independently under Suki’s devoted care. Even though we are closing, the promise we made to every animal we rescued lives on. Thank you for walking beside us and believing in rescue, always ♥️ We will keep our social media pages active to share updates from Suki and to continue with animal awareness and calls to action.

What Suki Needs to Survive: $3,000 monthly to cover food, medical care and shelter supplies for 40 senior dogs, 4 disabled dogs, two chickens, a pig, cat and a goat — These 44 dogs were rescued from slaughterhouses and other dire situations as far back as 2017 and still need your help.


Because the foundation is closing, donations to Suki will no longer be tax deductible; but every contribution will go directly to the animals’ care. Please send your support to Suki’s personal PayPal account: [email protected]

With your continued help, Suki’s dream is to help animals in need by building a strong local rescue network and respond to emergency calls; partner with a compassionate veterinarian to expand spay and neuter programs; and educate children about compassion and animal welfare through school programs.

Please help her to make this dream a reality and to care for our remaining animals 🙏🏻

This video was posted publicly on Facebook.

This child goes into a dog’s crate, drags a small dog out roughly, picks it up the wrong way, and carries it off. The video cuts before we see what happens next, but the parent filmed the entire thing.

This is not how a small dog should be handled. When you post something publicly on social media, you open it up to scrutiny - and this deserves it.

Children need to be taught compassion and how to properly handle animals. This isn’t cute. This is how dogs get hurt and kids get bitten. Parents need to supervise, intervene, and teach - not film and post for engagement.

If you have dogs and small children in the same home, you’re responsible for both. We are our children’s handlers. This is basic stuff.

Newark, New Jersey

Yesterday we posted about Joanna Lugo - the woman backyard breeding and performing illegal surgeries on dogs without a license or medical training.

This new video shows exactly how bad it is. Poor quality, but we can see her botching a surgery on a newborn pup. When it goes wrong, she kills the pup by drowning it.

This is absolute madness and it’s only the tip of the iceberg. New information though keeps coming in.

We’re being told there may be a connection between Joanna and Summit Animal Clinic in Union City, NJ, involving someone named Carlos. We need to know who this is and if he’s a licensed medical professional. If you have information, reach out.

Keep reporting this until authorities step in:

NJ Department of Health (Animal Welfare): 1-800-792-9770
NJ Veterinary Board: njconsumeraffairs.gov - File Complaint - Licensed Provider Complaint (even though she isn’t licensed, this flags it to the board)

To everyone helping behind the scenes - thank you. You always step up, fill in the blanks, and take these cases to levels we never thought possible. We don’t have all the answers. We just get the story out there and you take it from there. That’s what makes this community so powerful.

This woman in New Jersey is performing surgeries on dogs inside her home. She is not a veterinarian or licensed medical professional.

Videos across her TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook show her cutting, stitching, and operating on animals - with no license, oversight, or medical training. She is also a breeder that artificially inseminates female dogs

The woman’s name is Joanna Lugo of TrapStar Bullies. . She reportedly works for Meretrex, LLC in Jersey City and is said to live in Paterson, New Jersey, though that has not been confirmed.

This is how elephants are forced to “worship” on their knees in Sri Lanka.

The elephant is sounding off in protest. This is not worship. This is slavery. An intelligent, sentient being that should be living in the wild with their herd and family, not bowing on command for human entertainment and religious spectacle.

Buddhism teaches compassion for all sentient beings. Forcing elephants into captivity and submission contradicts those principles. This elephant should be liberated - not exploited in the name of tradition or religion.

We’ve been bearing witness to atrocities regarding animals all over the world. We’ve seen this firsthand. Many people see images like this and think it’s beautiful, spiritual, or part of tradition. It’s not. It’s cruel. It’s forced behavior through domination and fear.

We’re not here to just fight everything or create endless email campaigns that go nowhere. We’re here to educate and change how people see the world and the choices they make.

If you didn’t know this was wrong before, now you do. If someone you know shares videos like this thinking it’s beautiful or wants to take an elephant ride on vacation, explain to them why it’s not harmless. Challenge their perspective. Give your testimony. Convert hearts and minds.

Every one of our followers has the ability to educate someone else. Use it.

This occurred in North Hills, CA - 8845 Langdon Street. Help identify this suspect

A man was chasing someone with a knife. When he couldn’t get to him, he attacked his dog instead and stabbed it. The dog died.

We know the quality is grainy from the outside camera, but we’re hoping this leads to some clues about who this is.
We don’t know the identity of the man who was being chased or if he’s been interviewed to help identify this killer.

If you recognize this suspect or have any information, contact authorities immediately.

As a California-based organization, we’ve watched this state spiral. It wasn’t always like this. It’s getting worse.

An Important Message from Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation

After years of rescuing thousands of dogs and cats from the Dog and Cat Meat Trade in Asia and other dire situations worldwide, we have made the difficult decision to close our Foundation.

We came for them in the darkest places. We made them a promise that they would never be hurt again - and we kept it. Many of you reading this have one of our rescues in your home right now. You know firsthand the lives we’ve changed and the promise we kept.

But we can no longer raise the funds needed to care for the final 100 dogs at our China sanctuary. With no ongoing rescue activity, limited visibility, and increasing transport costs, we haven’t been able to sustain what’s needed.

Harbin SHS Animal Rescue in China has stepped forward to take them in. They’re giving our dogs a safe haven and a chance at finding families. For this, we are grateful.

Our China Director, Suki Su will be keeping 35 of the most senior and feral dogs so they can live out their lives in peace. These dogs were rescued from slaughter in 2017 and deserve to finish their days with Suki and her family.

We need your help:
1. Make a tax-deductible donation now. Your generosity will make a world of difference in caring for our remaining dogs while we prepare for transport.
2. Support Suki after we close. The funds will directly care for the 35 dogs staying with her. Follow her on Instagram for updates and donation details.

The dogs will be leaving within a few weeks. Suki is personally driving them to help them settle in.

This isn’t the ending we wanted, but we kept our promise to thousands of lives.

Thank you for being part of our journey in rescue and advocacy around the world. 💙

Los Angeles - Boyle Heights

We rarely share suspected animal abuse without video evidence, but the photos are clear and the witness account is credible.

October 14th, 2:00 PM - Lorena and Atlantic near Concord.

This woman was witnessed severely beating a dog. Multiple people saw her run the dog over with her scooter and kick it in the face repeatedly. When they tried to intervene, she fled into an alley. It is also suspected she is a drug user.

If you’re in the Boyle Heights area and recognize this woman or know where she lives, contact authorities immediately. If you spot her, she will likely run again. Call first or just follow at a distance. This pup needs to be taken away from her.

This occurred in Bolaños de Campos, Spain

A man on a quad ran over and killed a young bull during a town “encierro,” a cruel bull-running event.

The driver fled the scene. Later, authorities identified a 39-year-old man and denounced him for animal cruelty - whatever that even means.

is demanding an immediate investigation and accountability from the Bolaños de Campos City Council, Mayor Alberto Callejo (), and the Castile and León Council ().

But why would they actually do anything? Bullfighting is still legal in Spain - yet now they denounce this man for running one over with a quad. What’s the difference? Both end in pain, blood, and death.

AHWF never shies away from naming names and even addresses. If anyone can identify this man, we will make sure the world knows.

This happened recently in Mamakating, NY involving NY State Police.

Pumpkin, a 3-year-old family dog, was shot 7 times by a Trooper conducting neighborhood interviews. Two bullets tore into her body. Others hit the house and car.

Instead of restraint, the officer unloaded nearly his full clip - then walked away. Eyewitnesses report there was no apology, no remorse, nothing, even as Pumpkin lay there bleeding.

This is what happens when law enforcement treats animals as disposable. When hostility, prejudice, and lack of training meet a gun - animals die. Pumpkin survived, but her leg will be amputated.

Her owner is legally blind and describes Pumpkin as his emotional support animal. A GoFundMe has been set up for her medical care. We are also asking anyone with information about this officer to come forward.

Incidents like this happen far too often. No doubt an “internal investigation” will be announced, and no wrongdoing will be found. If you want to speak up for Pumpkin, call and ask what steps are being taken:
