- Texas, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find distressing⚠️


The Mission Police Department arrested 20-year-old ALEC OMAR ESPERICUETA (pictured).


On the morning of Thursday, April 10, 2025, police responded to Tru-Fit Gym on 1718 E. Griffin Parkway after receiving a call from a woman who reported seeing a male torturing an animal in the parking lot.


According to the PC Affidavit, the woman told police that she saw a male holding what she thought was a car mat but, then she realized the male was holding an animal but she could not tell what animal.


The PC Affidavit stated: “The male then began slamming the animal on the ground and then proceeded to hit it with a rock. The male then placed the animal on the edge of the cement curb and began stomping on it.”


The woman told the police the male went inside the gym and that he had a black Toyota Tacoma. Thankfully she was able to provide officers with the license plate number.


The officer who responded to the scene met with the woman who showed him a partial video of the incident. The officer found a deceased gray cat on the east side of the parking lot and then saw the vehicle in question leaving.


After conducting a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle, ESPERICUETA was identified as the driver. When he was questioned by the officer about the cat, ESPERICUETA claimed that

he had picked up the feline from his neighborhood with a trap, put the animal on the bed of his truck, and then drove to the gym.


According to the PC Affidavit, ESPERICUETA told the officer that when he arrived at the gym, he noticed that the cat was seizing and foaming at the mouth so he took him/her out of the cage and when he was unable to locate a pulse, he became upset and began slamming the cat on the ground multiple times. The PC Affidavit goes on to state: “Mr. Espericueta then grabbed a rock and smashed the cat in the head with the rock.” He then proceeded to put the cat on the curb and stomped on his/her tiny head and neck, leaving him/her lifeless before going to the gym as if nothing had happened.


The murderer was handcuffed and charged with one count of cruelty to non-livestock animal.

Jail records show he was booked into the Hidalgo County Jail on April 10, 2025, and released on the same day after posting a $100,000 bond.


I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim Willow for the tribute image.

- Louisiana, USA -


The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested 57-year-old JANELLE KAY MILLS (pictured).


On April 2, 2025, deputies were contacted by Animal Control Officers after they had been at MILLS’ home in Monroe for a welfare check.


No one answered the door at MILLS’ home and after deputies announced their presence several times, they decided to forcefully enter the home.


Inside the home, officials were greeted by the smell of decomposition. They discovered multiple cats and dogs who were living in filth. The cats were found in a closed bedroom and the dogs were found “in kennels in severely deplorable conditions.”


In every room of the home, officials saw feces and urine. Sadly, they also discovered a deceased dog inside trash bags in the laundry room.


Animal Control Officers removed a total of fifty-six animals from the home. Seven cats and forty-eight dogs.


MILLS was arrested on April 8, 2025, and charged with fifty-six (56) counts of animal cruelty.


I took the liberty of naming the Voiceless Victim who was found dead Rumba for the tribute image. Should his/her given name be made public, I will rectify it accordingly.

THOMAS WILLIAM MARTEL accused of torturing and murdering innocent kittens

- Illinois, USA -


⚠️WARNING⚠️The article contains details some of you may find distressing⚠️


~Update: March 23, 2025


THOMAS WILLIAM MARTEL (pictured) is now facing three additional charges totaling nine.


On March 21, 2025, MARTEL appeared in Skokie Circuit Court. Prosecutors announced that MARTEL is now facing nine felony charges, which include five counts of animal torture and four counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.


His bond is set at $75,000, and he is due back in court on April 8, 2025.



~ Original story:


Court documents obtained by Voice For Us state that on the morning of Monday, July 10, 2023, 22-years-old THOMAS WILLIAM MARTEL (pictured) walked into the 014 District Police Station with his attorney, Brandon E. Brown to turn himself in for incidents related to the death of multiple kittens.


MARTEL, a roofer, is accused of torturing and killing several kittens since May 2023, and replacing every deceased cat with a new one who looked like the previous one, so that his mother would not get suspicious.


The Voiceless Victims were purchased from Craigslist and each new one was named Shelly. All the furvictims were Tabby cats with a distinctive M-shaped marking on their tiny foreheads and stripes on their faces and backs.


The kittens were murdered in various ways, including but not limited to drowning, being placed in a microwave, mutilation with a sharp object, and squeezing. MARTEL murdered the kittens at his home in the 1500 block of North Wicker Park Avenue.


MARTEL’s girlfriend reported him to police after she received a video showing MARTEL throwing a pillowcase into Lake Michigan with a kitten inside.

The girlfriend told police that on May 26, 2023, MARTEL invited her to his home to see his new cats, an adult male named Reggie, and a kitten whom he named Shelly. On June 3, 2023, while under the influence of narcotics, MARTEL drowned the new kitten in a tub of water. He then pulled the unresponsive furbaby out and proceeded to give him/her CPR by using his thumb to perform chest compressions. The following day, MARTEL said the kitten needed more chest compressions, so he took the furbaby to the bathroom only to come back out to say Shelly was dead.


According to the girlfriend’s statement, MARTEL threw the deceased kitten down his trash chute and then went back on Craigslist and bought another Tabby, whom he named Shelly.


On June 5, 2023, MARTEL told his girlfriend he wanted to teach the new kitten how to swim, so he took the furbaby into the bathroom. A few hours later, MARTEL took from the pantry a bag that had inside what appeared to be a kitten. MARTEL then told his girlfriend the body of the latest kitten was inside the bag before tossing him/her down the trash chute.


The girlfriend said on June 18, 2023, she went through MARTEL’s phone and found pictures and videos of him torturing the last cat and one of the videos showed the fourth Shelly while she was still alive with the caption “just before I murdered her.”


On June 23, 2023, MARTEL told his girlfriend he had microwaved three kittens and showed her the bag in his pantry. That evening she alerted the authorities.

The girlfriend told police that MARTEL told her he “enjoyed killing cats and he had been like that since he was eight years old.”


Prosecutors have charged this sick and filthy murderer with two felony counts of animal torture and four felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals.


On Tuesday, July 11, 2023, at MARTEL’s bond hearing, Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Dale-Schmidt laid out the graphic and horrific details to Cook County Circuit judge Kelly McCarthy. To that, judge McCrthy returned: “We’re seeing a pattern of going back again and again. Killing an animal, going out and get a replacement. Kill that one, get a replacement. Kill that one, get a replacement. And, unfortunately, this was allowed to continue for a sustained period of time and numerous animals lost their lives.”


And yet, judge McCarthy released the murderer after posting $75,000 bond. One of the conditions is that MARTER is required to wear an electronic monitor and may not have any contact with animals.


MARTEL is scheduled to appear back in court on Monday, July 17, 2023, at 9:30 a.m.


MARTEL’s attorney told the court that his client was planning to start a new mental health treatment. In his arrestee questionnaire, MARTEL checked “yes” for serious mental health problems and stated, “He takes medication for mental condition.”


As I was reviewing MARTEL’s court documents I noticed that his bond papers were signed by his father. I wonder how it is possible that this filth acted undisturbed while he continued to murder innocent kittens!
