MICHAEL ALEXANDER MCCALISTER indicted for felony aggravated cruelty to animals

- Georgia, USA -


A grand jury is moving forward with animal cruelty charges against 36-years-old MICHAEL ALEXANDER MCCALISTER (pictured), accused of shooting his neighbor’s dog and burying him in his backyard. McDuffie County Georgia Superior Court tells me that MCCALISTER’s case was presented to the grand jury on Monday, December 12, 2022, and he was indicted for the charge of aggravated cruelty to animals.


The murder of the furbaby, a 9-year-old white Great Pyrenees named Larry, took place in December 2021.


Larry was a family dog who had been rescued by the non-profit 2 Hands Saving 4 Paws Humane Society Inc.


WRDW/WAGT reports that that Maria Elena Salvaggio, director of 2 Hands Saving 4 Paws Humane Society Inc, said Larry disappeared on December 19, 2021, and they searched 54 acres looking for him. “Could not find him all day long,” she said.


After several hours, the family was notified that MCCALISTER had found Larry and said he thought the furbaby had been hit by a car.


Ms. Salvaggio said: “He believed that Larry was injured and was calling around for vets and said that he couldn’t get any help.” A police report stated that a local vet told MCCALISTER to bring Larry in, but MCCALISTER did not!

MCCALISTER told police and Larry’s family he took Larry back to where he found him but police said that was not true!


MCCALISTER’s neighbor said that at around 5:30 p.m., she had heard gunshots coming from MCCALISTER’s backyard. Police eventually found a hole in MCCALISTER’s backyard and discovered that Larry had been shot and placed inside a box before being buried.

Ms. Salvaggio said: “It’s a vision that I’ll never forget. It’s not the way I wanted to remember Larry.”


A necropsy performed on Larry showed that he did not have any broken bones or injured organs.


According to online records, the McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office arrested the filthy murderer on February 24, 2022.

McDuffie County Georgia Superior Court’s clerk further told me that MCCALISTER’s next arraignment is scheduled for June 1, 2023.

Bear cub murdered in Mexico in the presence of laughing members of law enforcement

Updated: Sep 12, 2022

- Mexico -


A bear cub has been tortured to death in Castaños, a city in the Mexican state of Coahuila, in the presence of law enforcement who can be seen smiling and laughing in pictures that captured the heinous act.


Mexico News Daily reports that the cub, approximately 5 months old, entered the village, believed to be looking for water, where residents tied the cub’s legs together before beating him/her and choking him/her to death.

The sickening pictures posted on social media show people dragging the baby bear along the ground with a rope. These so-called people can be seen holding and pulling the rope at both ends while the baby bear is in the middle until he/she collapses.


Arturo Islas Allende, a well-known Mexican actor, TV presenter, and producer, is also an acclaimed environmental activist who posted the gruesome pictures on his Facebook account. In a Facebook post he wrote: “With only 4 months old, this bear is treated worse than the cruelest criminal in Castaños Coahuila, his only sin was to approach the people to look for some water, what they did to this animal is a FEDERAL CRIME PROFEPA must act fast, in addition gives rage to see in the evidence that there was police presence and did nothing but smile and have fun as if it were a circus event, Miguel Angel Riquelme Solis is the current governor in Coahuila, let's write to him with the same impetus they showed the tracking elements and the villagers of that place in all their publications to act soon against that band of social misfits, what a thought, there is a bear looking for water, let's kill it in team. Shame on you Coahuila!”


PROFEPA is the Mexican Attorney General for Environmental Protection and in a press release the agency said that it launched a criminal investigation into the murder of the baby bear which could be classified as a “crime against biodiversity.”

PROFEPA further said that the killers could face jail time and fines and stressed that it is committed to the protection of wildlife.


According to Mexico News Daily, Governor Riquelme Solis said on Twitter: “At #Coahuila we will not tolerate animal abuse, our commitment is to ensure the protection of our species and the environment. This act of cruelty will not go unpunished.”


Meanwhile, In Defense of Animals, the animal protection organization founded in San Rafael, California, is encouraging us to take action and demand justice.

Words cannot express what I am feeling right now. But I do echo Arturo Islas Allende's statement, ¡Qué vergüenza Coahuila!
