'The video is difficult to watch': Florida HVAC worker allegedly caught violently abusing homeowner's dog while on the job



A Florida HVAC technician was fired and arrested after he allegedly was caught on video violently abusing a small dog while on the job.

The Sanford Police Department said it was alerted on Wednesday to an "incident that took place where an HVAC technician who was working inside a resident’s home intentionally kicked the homeowner’s dog."

'May God watch over their sweet fur baby and bring healing and comfort to their family.'

Police said the suspect — identified as 43-year-old Richardson Noel — was caught on video allegedly abusing the animal by a dog treat dispenser that doubles as a motion-activated camera.

The footage shows a man entering the home shortly before 11:30 a.m. last Monday as a 12-year-old Chihuahua named Boomer barks at him, according to People magazine.

Seconds after entering the house, the disturbing video appears to show the man violently kicking the small dog and sending the animal airborne.

Ryan Menzies, the dog's owner, told WESH-TV that the incident occurred while he and his girlfriend were at work; she received a motion alert from the dispenser's app.

Menzies said his girlfriend sent him a video of the alleged animal abuse.

"I was standing in the parking garage at work, and I said out loud, 'Oh, my God,' and almost started crying," Menzies recalled. "And then anger took over, because I knew I had to get home."

"She looked back in the video, and that's when she called me back and said, 'You need to get home now. He kicked the dog. ...'" Menzies told WKMG-TV. "She started crying when she first saw it and then immediately went to her supervisor and said, 'I need to leave.'"

According to Menzies, the brutal kick knocked the senior dog unconscious and triggered a seizure.

"He gave a 100-pound kick to an animal that's five pounds," Menzies said. "So [Boomer] flipped over, slid along the floor, and was unconscious for over a minute, after which he woke up and had a seizure for five minutes."

WESH said that during the 65-second video, Noel can be seen returning twice — first moving the dog's head around with his boot and then turning him over. The station said Boomer remained limp for the remainder of the recording.

Menzies said Boomer and the couple's other Chihuahua were secured in another room, but it was unclear how the dog got out.

According to Menzies, the veterinarian said Boomer had no broken bones but warned that the animal could have internal bruising.

Police said Noel turned himself in to authorities Thursday.

Noel, of Broward County, is charged with aggravated animal cruelty.

Citing jail records, WESH reported that Noel's bond was set at $8,000, and he was released from jail Thursday night after posting bond.

Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith stated, "It is deeply disturbing that someone entrusted with entering a person's home to complete a service would violate that trust by viciously injuring a defenseless animal. The video is difficult to watch and shows the callousness of this individual."

According to the arrest report, Noel was on a service call for his employer, ElDante HVAC Services, LLC, at the time of the incident.

The company announced that Noel has been fired and issued an apology on its website:

First and foremost, we offer our deepest and most sincere apologies for the incident involving one of our technicians. As pet parents ourselves, we fully understand the emotional gravity of witnessing a beloved dog being subjected to physical harm. We are truly sorry for the distress and pain this incident has caused.

While the technician has shared that he has had negative experiences with dogs in the past, his actions are absolutely not justified. The behavior he displayed was completely unacceptable and does not reflect the values, standards, principles, or professionalism that we hold our company and our team to.

We have taken this matter extremely seriously. The technician’s employment was terminated immediately after we reviewed the circumstances and the available evidence. Criminal charges have also been pursued, and we are cooperating fully with the appropriate authorities regarding this matter.

When we first became aware of the incident, we immediately questioned the technician about what had occurred. In his initial account, he stated that the dog had attempted to bite him twice. After reviewing the recorded evidence later that same day, we determined that his account did not accurately reflect what had occurred. This further confirmed our decision to terminate his employment that same evening.

We also want to emphasize that we have a strict company policy that no technician is permitted to enter a property when unattended pets or minors are present. In this situation, the technician failed to follow our established safety protocol and proceeded on his own rather than contacting his supervisor for guidance. This was a serious violation of our company policy.

We have personally extended our sincerest apologies to the tenants and offered our assistance in any way we can during this difficult time. We sincerely hope their beloved dog makes a full and speedy recovery.

May God watch over their sweet fur baby and bring healing and comfort to their family. Our thoughts and prayers remain with them during this difficult time.

WESH reported that ElDante HVAC Services, LLC did not respond when asked if the company would pay for Boomer's veterinary bills.

Massachusetts Won’t Let You Sell Puppies Under 8 Weeks But Lets You Abort Babies Until Birth

A year ago, Healey and her supporters celebrated different bills that protected animal life better than human life.

Republicans should take the easy win and stop medical testing on animals



The federal government has spent decades funneling taxpayer dollars into animal testing programs that are increasingly cruel, scientifically obsolete, and wholly unaccountable. Almost no one in Washington has had the courage to say so until now.

In April, roughly 1,000 animal welfare activists stormed Ridglan Farms, a Wisconsin research and breeding facility that has been supplying beagles for biomedical testing. Police fired rubber bullets and pepper spray into the crowd, and the group's leader was arrested.

Why were people willing to get arrested over a dog farm? Because of what was happening inside.

Washington has the images of 2,000 beagles crammed into cages in rural Wisconsin. But the checks keep getting written.

Ridglan housed an estimated 2,000 beagles bred specifically to be sold to research laboratories. The facility had been cited for hundreds of animal welfare violations and ultimately agreed to surrender its state breeding license as part of a deal to avoid prosecution on animal mistreatment charges. However, it continued supplying animals to federally funded labs.

If you're wondering why beagles are the preferred breed for animal testing, it's because of their docile nature. This means they can be tortured without fighting back as other dog breeds might. These dogs never saw a home, a yard, or a family. They lived their entire lives in cages, underwriting a research pipeline that Washington has never seriously scrutinized.

The issue finally started picking up steam last year when RFK Jr. said that reducing unnecessary animal testing would become a priority. While Kennedy has made the right noises, the lag still needs to be addressed.

The FDA announced last year that it would phase out animal testing requirements for monoclonal antibodies. The NIH shut down its last in-house beagle lab in May. In May 2025, the Navy announced it would no longer use dogs or cats in research. Those are serious wins, but the fight is far from over.

White Coat Waste launched a national ad campaign this April calling out Secretary Kennedy directly, documenting how NIH has renewed funding for deadly tests on dogs, cats, and primates. This NIH funding was first approved under Dr. Anthony Fauci and doled out millions more to those same projects. The message to Kennedy is simple: The rhetoric is there. Now show us the receipts.

A 2024 Morning Consult poll commissioned by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine found that 80% of Americans agree the federal government should commit to a plan to phase out animal experiments. Roughly 85% agreed that government funding should prioritize non-animal research methods and that animal experimentation should be phased out in favor of modern alternatives.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), backed by GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) and more than a dozen colleagues, announced his push to ban federal funding for animal experiments in the FY2027 spending bill. The push was prompted by revelations that NIH awarded $584,117 to UC San Diego in FY2026 alone to continue experiments on mice. These taxpayer dollars are being used to surgically mimic transgender humans, subjecting nearly 10,000 animals to invasive surgeries, hormone injections, and skull drilling.

Just last week, Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) led 34 House members in sending a letter to Secretary Kennedy urging him to close the loophole that allows facilities like Ridglan to receive federal contracts after losing their state licenses for documented welfare violations, simply because they hold a USDA Class A license.

Recent studies have confirmed that the majority of drugs that work on animals ultimately fail in humans, driving up research costs while producing unnecessary animal suffering. AI-driven modeling, organoids, and human cell-based testing are not futuristic concepts. They are available, cheaper, and more accurate.

HHS has acknowledged this fact, with both the FDA and NIH releasing updated guidelines this spring advocating for phasing out live animal models in favor of alternative technologies. The bureaucracy is just moving too slowly to match its own stated goals.

Washington has the data. Washington has the images of 2,000 beagles crammed into cages in rural Wisconsin. But the checks keep getting written.

These programs do not reflect our values, they do not produce real results, and they do not deserve another dime of taxpayer money.

Now, do I think every politician rushing to take a stand on this issue is doing so out of the goodness of their heart? Absolutely not, but here's the thing: I don't care. If political self-interest is what finally gets Washington to stop funding the torture of beagles, then so be it. Use the issue. Grab the headline.

At the end of the day, if the outcome is that fewer animals suffer, fewer taxpayer dollars are wasted, and a broken system gets reformed, then the motivation behind it doesn't matter one bit to the dogs still sitting in cages waiting for someone to act.

Republicans, take an easy win and keep the animal lovers in your corner. Get it done.

'Deeply disturbing': Florida man enters plea in monkey torture video case



A Florida man entered a plea at the beginning of the month following a particularly disturbing case involving monkeys investigated by Homeland Security Investigations.

Francisco Javier Ravelo, 36, of Coral Gables, Florida, pleaded guilty on March 2 to distributing videos depicting the torture of monkeys. Ravelo was charged in October 2025.

'It reflects a willingness to dominate, torture, and inflict suffering without remorse.'

The Department of Justice's press release, citing court documents, explains that Ravelo, a U.S. citizen, "created some and administered some online chat groups dedicated to the distribution and discussion of sexual and violent videos depicting monkeys being mutilated and burned, including baby and adult monkeys."

The DOJ said Ravelo personally distributed "more than 40 of these obscene crush videos."

U.S. law defines "animal crushing" as "actual conduct in which one or more living non-human mammals, birds, reptiles, or amphibians is purposely crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled, or otherwise subjected to serious bodily injury."

"In his first term, President Donald J. Trump signed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act into law to end animal crushing," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Adam Gustafson of the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division. "If you are involved in this sadistic activity, we will prosecute you."

U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida said: "Deliberate cruelty to animals is one of the clearest red flags. It reflects a willingness to dominate, torture, and inflict suffering without remorse. The defendant didn't merely view this material. He created and administered online groups devoted to it and distributed dozens of obscene animal torture videos. That conduct fuels a market built on brutality."

HSI New Orleans, HSI Pensacola, the local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division investigated the case that led to Ravelo's guilty plea, according to an ICE press release.

Ravelo faces a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.

VIDEO: Homeowner arrested over infestation of hundreds of rats inside NY house



Video from inside a Long Island home showed the massive infestation of domesticated rats that led to the homeowner's arrest.

Video shows the wounded rats running all over the debris and garbage left inside the home as volunteers work to rescue the rodents and try to get veterinary treatment for the animals.

'A lot of them have huge wounds. ... Their eyes are coming out. They have big abscesses. We have a few that are going septic.'

"It's a disaster inside," said Frankie Floridia, the president of Strong Island Animal Rescue. "It's very hard to breathe. You need masks. You need gloves. It's just a bad situation."

The home on Whitewood Drive has been condemned after the owner was cited for sanitation violations.

"A lot of them are injured. A lot of them have huge wounds," said Kristin Stephens, a veterinarian tech who is volunteering at the home. "Their eyes are coming out. They have big abscesses. We have a few that are going septic."

The volunteers are separating the captured rats into different containers for male, female, and the sick. They have collected about 150 rats, and they believe more than 100 to 200 rats are inside the walls. They estimate that between 500 and 1,000 rats lived at the home.

"It's a very sad situation, but we're doing the best we can with what we have," Floridia added.

The homeowner was accused of taking care of her 3-year-old grandson in the home with rat urine and feces. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Stephens appeared to get emotional when she said the team found rat poison in the basement of the home.

"We have seen a couple that have had blood coming from their nose and that kind of thing, which is what happens when you poison rats," she said.

She went on to say the rats are being treated for mites. She also said the infestation could have been easily avoided by the homeowner.

"Everybody knows rodents reproduce very, very quickly," Stephens said. "So, I personally feel that if they were just separated — you know, you keep the males with the males and the females with the females — none of this could have occurred."

Neighbors living next to the home told WABC-TV that they didn't smell anything or see anything that let them know the infestation was inside.

The volunteers are asking for donations to help pay for the rats' care and also for Good Samaritans to provide foster care for the rats.

Dogs shouldn’t have to die for new medications



Modern medications have transformed health care, turning once-fatal diseases into manageable conditions. Statins have significantly reduced heart disease deaths. GLP-1 drugs are revolutionizing obesity treatment.

But the path to these breakthroughs has come at a callous cost — thanks to outdated, unnecessary regulations from the Food and Drug Administration.

Images of week-old puppies convulsing from drug overdoses may finally become a thing of the past.

Each year, U.S. labs use roughly 50 million animals in drug testing, including rodents, monkeys, dogs, and cats. Much of this often cruel experimentation stems from FDA mandates that require animal testing for drug approval.

At last, that’s beginning to change.

Thanks to the bipartisan efforts of Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Congress passed the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 in December. The bill allows sponsors to use alternative testing methods that don’t harm living things. The FDA has proven remarkably receptive to these efforts, recently announcing measures to phase out animal testing requirements. With continued momentum, animal testing may soon be gone for good.

Recent reforms have reignited a fierce and emotional debate over the role of animal testing in medical innovation. Many researchers still defend the practice. Jim Newman, communications director for Americans for Medical Progress, argues that alternatives remain in their infancy and won’t become fully reliable “for many, many years.”

While some animal testing may still serve a purpose, the FDA has long abused the practice, imposing requirements that are often cruel, costly, and slow-moving.

Take the case of Vanda Pharmaceuticals. The company pushed back when the FDA ordered it to euthanize dogs after testing its gastroparesis drug, Tradipitant. Vanda had already run extensive tests on rats and dogs, including prolonged exposure at doses up to 300 times higher than those intended for humans. No safety concerns emerged. The FDA had even approved human trials.

But when Vanda sought to extend treatment beyond three months, regulators demanded yet another round of dog testing — this time with mandatory euthanasia. The agency offered no scientific rationale, no public justification — only a bureaucratic decree.

The real cost wasn’t just animal lives. An estimated 1.5 million Americans suffer from gastroparesis and face delayed access to treatment. Yet the FDA prevailed in court, thanks to its unchecked power to require animal testing with no meaningful oversight.

Paul and Booker aim to disrupt the FDA’s outdated, inhumane testing regime. Their bipartisan reform would give companies like Vanda the power to reject animal testing when safer, more advanced alternatives exist.

One such alternative uses microchips that simulate the human body’s biological systems. These “organ-on-a-chip” technologies allow researchers to see how drugs affect human tissue — without harming a single animal.

Wider adoption of chip-based testing could cut research and development costs between 10% and 26%, while sparing countless animals from needless pain and death. Images of week-old puppies convulsing from drug overdoses may finally become a thing of the past.

These alternatives may also produce better science. A report from the National Institutes of Health found that animal models often fail to accurately replicate human disease or predict drug responses — delaying breakthroughs and wasting money while patients wait.

With the right pressure from Congress, the FDA can move away from a system rooted in cruelty and toward one grounded in modern science. The status quo is not just outdated. It’s indefensible.

Heartbreaking video shows 'soulless' driver dumping malnourished dog near desert. Owners face charges — and pup finds love.



A surveillance camera captured the heartbreaking moment when a "soulless" driver dumped a malnourished dog near a desert in Arizona. The dog's owners have been identified and charged — and the pup has found a loving new family.

Around 12:16 p.m. Saturday, a surveillance camera caught a red SUV stopping in the middle of a street in Surprise, which is about an hour northwest of Phoenix.

'I was angered. I was flabbergasted, shocked. Just so many emotions.'

The passenger door of the SUV opens, and a small black and white dog is tossed out of the vehicle while someone inside the car is heard saying, "Bye-bye!"

As the driver speeds off, the small abandoned dog chases after the vehicle, to no avail.

But a local woman was walking her own dog when she witnessed the disturbing incident.

"I was screaming," Joanna Buesen told KSAZ-TV. "I couldn't get myself collected fast enough."

"I saw the bumper of a vehicle, and then the dog getting tossed out of the vehicle, and then the dog running toward the vehicle," Buesen explained.

Buesen added, "He felt defeated. I can tell you when a dog is sad or defeated, it's not OK. You even had the audacity to say bye in the video, and not in a nice way."

Buesen said she carried the dog all the way to her home and fed the mistreated animal. The dog was reportedly malnourished, and its ribs were visible.

“It was defeated. It was sad," Buesen told KTVK-TV. “I was angered. I was flabbergasted, shocked. Just so many emotions.”

KSAZ-TV shared video of the distressing incident.

The male dog is not chipped.

Surprise police quickly launched an investigation, and 20-year-old Logan Gambill of Wittmann and 26-year-old Priscilla Galanos of Phoenix turned themselves in to police Monday, KTVK reported.

Galanos was hit with a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge, and Gambill is facing a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit animal cruelty.

Buesen declared, "Anything that’s innocent deserves justice. I honestly believe that."

“I think that they had no remorse for their actions, and I think that is the telltale that it is malicious intent,” Buesen said, adding that "I understand things are hard, and things can be tough in life, but you don’t have to be a soulless human. And that is just a soulless thing."

Meanwhile, the dog was welcomed with open arms by officers of the Surprise Police Department.

The department released a video on social media showing the happy dog with his tail wagging and getting loving attention from police officers.

"He's got a new squad, a warm bed, and all of the belly rubs he can handle," the department said in the video.

The department said the dog would be released to the Arizona Humane Society, which can put him up for adoption.

"We ... encourage anyone in our community who may be unable to care for an animal to seek assistance from local community groups or the Arizona Humane Society," the Surprise Police Department stated.

Suspected illegal immigrants kill bald eagle, intending to eat it; federal officials' 'silence' frustrates sheriff



Two Honduran nationals cited for killing a bald eagle on private property in Nebraska were intending to eat it, Nebraska's Stanton County Sheriff's Office and other outlets reported.

"I’m very frustrated with the federal government," Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger told the Washington Free Beacon. Unger's attempts to connect with authorities who could jail the men under federal laws have gone unanswered.

Ramiro Hernandez-Tziquin and Domingo Zetino-Hernandez, both age 20, "had shot and killed the protected national bird ... and stated they planned on cooking and eating the bird," according to an SCSO press release.

The pair shot the bird with an "assault-style" air rifle, Unger told the Beacon. The office declined to release photos of the creature due to the graphic nature of the images, which "contain lots of blood."

Though the Nebraska officials charged the pair, the charge is a misdemeanor, and they cannot be held in jail until their trial March 28. Until then, they walk free, the Beacon reported. In addition, police officers are not permitted to ask about a suspect's immigration status.

Both were cited for unlawful possession of the eagle. Hernandez-Tziquin was also cited for driving without a license.

"More serious charges are possible as the investigation into the unlawful killing continues," the release also said.

The incident occurred February 28 about 4:00 p.m. The Stanton County Sheriff's office responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near Wood Duck Recreation Area. The suspicious vehicle was located in a field and the two men had a North American Bald Eagle in their possession.

Officers used a translation app to communicate with the suspects during the apprehension, according to the New York Times. It was unclear whether the men knew killing the bird was illegal. Unger also told the Times it was possible the translation app used the word "vulture" instead of "eagle" during the interaction with deputies.

Nebraska Game and Parks took custody of the eagle and the rifle used to kill it, according to the sheriff's office press release.

Sheriff Unger's attempts to contact federal authorities who could jail the suspects have fallen on deaf ears, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, whom Unger has repeatedly attempted to contact to no avail, could bring charges that include a punishment of up to a year in prison.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service did not respond to the Times' request for comments nor to the Beacon's.

Florida man gnawed off head of pet python during violent domestic dispute: Police



A Florida man bit off the head of a pet python during a heated and violent domestic dispute with a woman, according to police.

The Miami-Dade Police Department responded to a report of a domestic dispute at an apartment complex just after 5:20 a.m. on Monday. When police arrived at the apartment, they reportedly could hear a man and a woman yelling at each other. Then the cops allegedly heard the woman scream after they knocked on the front door.

The woman pleaded with the police, "Just kick the door in!"

Police forcibly entered the home and witnessed Kevin Justin Mayorga, 32, fleeing the room. He reportedly attempted to close a door in another room to trap the victim "against her will."

Police officers instructed Mayorga to put his hands up, but he reportedly resisted. An officer used a taser on Mayorga, but the weapon had "no effect" on him, according to the police report.

While officers attempted to restrain Mayorga, he allegedly started punching them. He is said to have punched one of the officers in the eye with a handcuff that was only on one of his wrists. The police officer suffered an abrasion on his face. Police were finally able to restrain Mayorga.

The woman in the residence informed police that Mayorga gnawed off the head of a pet python. The woman claimed that Mayorga grabbed the snake and decapitated the animal. Police allegedly confirmed the snake's decapitation after finding the ball python's body and its severed head near the front door.

Jail records show that Mayorga was charged with one count each of animal cruelty with the intent to kill, false imprisonment, and resisting an officer with violence. The Cutler Bay man was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and held on $15,000 bond.

According to Animal Diversity Web, ball pythons are also known as royal pythons. Ball pythons get their name for coiling up into a ball when they are frightened or stressed.

The non-venomous constrictor snakes are native to Central and West Africa. Reptiles Magazine said ball pythons can grow up to six feet in length. The magazine added, "Ball pythons make for a quality pet for the first-time keeper and experienced herpetoculturists alike."

Chihuahua stabbed multiple times on Chicago street while on walk with teenage girl; 61-year-old woman arrested



A chihuahua was stabbed multiple times on a Chicago street while on a walk with a teenage girl Monday — and a 61-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the attack against the dog.

What are the details?

The 15-year-old girl, the dog's owner, was outside her family's home in the 6600 block of West Irving Park Road on the city's northwest side when a stranger launched the attack, WLS-TV reported.

Police said the suspect stopped to talk to the girl, WFLD-TV reported, but "moments later without warning" the suspect ran toward the dog and stabbed it with a knife. The girl tried to run away with the dog, but the suspect chased them and stabbed the dog several more times, WFLD said, citing court documents.

Image source: WLS-TV video screenshot

The girl managed to fight off the attacker and run, but not before her dog suffered serious, life-threatening wounds, WLS said, adding that the building's security cameras captured the attack.

"For no reason whatsoever, this woman just attacks and starts stabbing her dog," John Garrido of the Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation told WLS. "It's horrific in itself."

The foundation helped raise more than $9,000 in two days to pay for the 12-year-old dog's life-saving surgery, WLS said, adding that Bebe left the animal hospital Wednesday afternoon.

"Everybody focuses in on the evil this one person did, but we have over 250 people who stepped up to help this family," Garrido added to WLS.

Who is the suspect?

Police told WLS Jeannette Olivo was taken into custody shortly after the attack.

Image source: WLS-TV video screenshot, composite

WLS reported Wednesday that Olivo was still behind bars and faces two felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Sergio Macias, another owner of Bebe, told WLS the suspect "needs to be in jail. She needs to be held accountable. This cannot be happening."

How is Bebe?

Ana Gabriela Jasso, another owner of Bebe, told WLS that Bebe "is doing great. He's eating good. He was even barking with the other dogs, so that's a good sign to them."
