CESAR FLORES arrested - Two dead horses and many malnourished animals found on his ranch

- California, USA -


On Friday, December 9, 2022, Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward announced that criminal charges were filed against 51-years-old CESAR FLORES (PICTURED), related to an animal abuse case.


The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office said that on December 6, 2022, its AG Crimes Unit detectives were alerted to a possible animal abuse case in the 25300 block of Avenue 220 in Lindsay.

Upon arrival, on two different parcels of land, detectives found 48 horses, 13 cows, and dozens of dogs and puppies in need of care. Sadly, two horses were found deceased and a cow had to be euthanized on site.

Detectives worked in partnership with Tulare County Animal Control and personnel from Pacific Crest Veterinary Clinic.

A thorough review of the animals revealed that the majority of the horses and cattle were malnourished and in need of urgent care.


From an investigation it emerged that FLORES is the owner of the ranch, which is just west of Polarbear Ammunition and Training sporting goods store in rural Lindsay, and guardian of all the animals.

FLORES was arrested on forty-four felony counts of cruelty to animals.

In the afternoon of Thursday, December 8, 2022, he was arraigned on the charges and pleaded not guilty. The court released FLORES on supervised own recognizance with a GPS monitor.


DA Ward said that prosecutors raised concerns of his release for the safety of the animals and the court imposed conditions that FLORES “must stay at least 100 yards away from his property and the animals. He also cannot possess animals and must make regular contact with probation.”


FLORES is scheduled to return to court on December 22, 2022, in Department 18 for a preliminary hearing setting.

DA Ward said that according to current California sentencing laws, if convicted FLORES faces probation or a potential local time prison sentence.


This is an ongoing in investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Sergeant Dan Balderas or Detective Ryan Pugh at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office at (559) - 733 - 6218, or anonymously through the TipNow Program at (559) - 725 - 4194 or tcso@tipnow.com.

Cat who went missing in 2014 in California found in Idaho nine years later

- Idaho, USA -


On September 19, 2022, a couple of Good Samaritans found a cat on the side of the road and dropped her off at Kootenai Humane Society in Hayden.


Staff scanned the furbaby, a short-haired, tabby-colored domestic housecat, learned her name was Harriet, and shockingly discovered that Harriet’s guardian listed on the chip was in California.


The animal shelter called 57-years-old Susan Moore and told her they had her cat.


Mrs. Moore was understandably confused and did not immediately understand what was going on. She even told the caller they had the wrong number as there is no Hayden in California.

The caller then said she was calling from Idaho.


As the conversation unfolded, the mystery was gradually being solved and Mrs. Moore said: “I’d like to know how the heck that cat got all the way to Idaho.”


Mrs. Moore explained to the animal shelter staff that she lives on 41 acres outside of Sanger, California, and that she had adopted Harriet in 2010, to join her family and their dogs.

At the time Harriet was just a kitten and she was very sick. The shelter told her Harriet had feline leukemia and suggested that she choose another cat.


Mrs. Moore told them: “I don't want another cat.” So, she brought her furbaby home and took care of her. Mrs. Moore told USA Today that she raised Harriet in her office for the first month, then, she became healthy enough to be moved to the family’s ranch where she spent lots of time outdoors with her canine siblings. Harriet sadly went missing one night back in 2014.


Mrs. Moore and her husband, Brian Ellison, searched near their home, checked lost pet websites, contacted shelters, and registered with HomeAgain, a recovery service for lost pets.


Mr. Ellison hypothesized that a coyote had gotten Harriet. Mrs. Moore theorized that after Harriet wandered off, somebody picked her up in California, kept her as a pet and later moved to Idaho, where she wandered off again.


After recovering from the unbelievable news that Harriet was still alive, the next step was to get Harriet back home. Mrs. Moore asked her brother Steve Swarts who lives in Idaho if he would pick up Harriet from the shelter and fly her to California. At the same time, she realized that Harriet, now 13 years old, may not even remember her after being separated from her for so long.


According to The Washington Post, Ms. Maureen Wright, one of the shelter’s volunteers, saw Harriet waiting in a shelter cage and immediately wanted to bring her home.

With Mrs. Moore’s blessing, Maureen took home Harriet and renamed her Isis, after the Egyptian goddess.


Maureen lives on a mountain ridge in Hauser, where “she fosters older cats and dogs typically for the remainder of their lives”, reports The Washington Post.


Isis is now part of a new family in her new hopefully furever home with four elderly dogs and four outdoor foster cats who live in a heated catio.

Talking about Isis Maureen said: “She’s beautiful, regal, and just an absolute lover. So, she has a home with me for the rest of her life. She’s off the market.”

ALBERT FRANK ABAD JR. caught on a doorbell camera kicking, punching, and slapping his dog

- California, USA -


The Anaheim Police Department announced that 33-years-old ALBERT FRANK ABAD JR. (pictured), turned himself in after he was seen in a distressing video kicking, slapping, and punching a dog unable to dial 911.


The abuse inflicted on the furbaby, an all-black Goldendoodle named Steeler, took place at Gateway Apartment and was captured by a doorbell camera. The video shows ABAD chasing Steeler down a hallway, then punching and kicking him and dragging him away before disappearing from sight.


Police said in a news release that on Thursday, September 15, 2022, several sources delivered the footage and detectives from the Anaheim PD Criminal Investigations Detail began investigating. Detectives were able to identify the abuser as ABAD and working with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, obtained a felony arrest warrant for him.


Meanwhile, on the night of Wednesday, September 21, 2022, ABAD surrendered Steeler at a veterinarian clinic where staff recognized him and the furbaby from Anaheim Police Department’s social media posts and media coverage. Staff alerted police and officers went to pick up the VOICELESS VICTIM.


Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer told KABC: “He definitely soaked up some love from a lot of our employees here in the building. He was a youthful, somewhat energetic dog, but he wasn't necessarily bounding with energy.”


Steeler is now in the care of veterinarians at Orange County Animal Care and will remain through the duration of the case.


ABAD was taken into custody on Thursday, September 22, 2022, and released after posting a $15,000 bail.


I wonder, if the dog had been a child, would ABAD still be out on bail?
