ALBERTO MORRIS arrested for murdering an innocent dog by throwing him off a14th-floor balcony

- New York, USA -



On the early morning of November 1, 2024, Luis Gabriel Santamaria (pictured), went back to his apartment on 220 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn from a Halloween party to find his dog murdered.


Mr. Santamaria found his beloved 2-year-old Pitbull named Kith lying lifeless on the sidewalk


In a post shared on X, the NYPD said that following the incident, its Detectives from the Animal Cruelty Investigation Squad and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) promptly launched an investigation.


In connection with Kith’s senseless death, police arrested on November 18, 2024, 33-year-old ALBERTO MORRIS (pictured via The Post).

MORRIS was charged with reckless endangerment, aggravated cruelty to animals, torturing an animal, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and criminal mischief.


Mr. Santamaria said he had earlier got into an argument with MORRIS, and in retaliation, MORRIS broke into his apartment, grabbed Kith and threw him off the balcony.


Remembering his furbaby, Mr. Santamaria told The Post: “I had him since he was a baby, since he was 1-month old. He was literally my best friend.” And then added: “I never would have thought he would do what he did, murder my dog for no reason.”


Earlier this week at his arraignment MORRIS pled not guilty and was released without bail.

The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said MORRIS has no prior arrests and his charges are non-bail eligible under state law, meaning he can’t be held behind bars unless convicted.

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office tells me that MORRIS is due back in court on March 11, 2025.

BROOK LYNN SCALERO arrested – She kept a journal depicting torture, abuse, and killing of dogs

- Arizona, USA -


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


The Mesa Police Department announced the arrest of 42-year-old BROOK LYNN SCALERO (pictured).


Police said in a press release that SCALERO was arrested in connection with the deaths of three innocent dogs whom police identified as Griffin, Gus, and Pepe.


On November 4, 2024, a journal that belonged to SCALERO was turned over to the police by her former roommate and according to the press release, the journal “described in torturous detail the continued abuse and ultimate deaths of multiple dogs under Scalero’s care.”


In June 2024, P.A.W.S fur the Cause reported that on May 19, 2024, SCALERO agreed to pay $500 for a 3-year-old Maltese mix named Pepe. The organization allowed her to leave with Pepe with the understanding she would pay for him later that night, but she never did.


On October 5, 2024, officers with the Mesa PD responded to the VCA Animal Hospital in reference to a deceased 3-year-old Maltese Mix who had been found by a dumpster of an apartment complex. The person who found the dog, worked for P.A.W.S. fur the Cause and assumed the furvictim was Pepe. However, when the microchip was scanned, it turned out that the pup was Griffin, another dog registered to SCALERO. According to police, “Griffin had had injuries consistent with animal abuse.”


During an investigation, police learned that between November 2023, and October 2024, SCALERO lived with a roommate who had a dog named Gus and that Gus had died while under SCALERO’s watch.


According to the affidavit provided to Voice For Us, SCALERO told her roommate that she took Gus to the vet for a tooth infection and he died there.

SCALERO was then kicked out of the apartment and when she left, she left behind some personal items, including “a journal with her name, address and email on the inside”, stated the affidavit.

The affidavit further stated that the journal discussed in detail about how SCALERO tortured approximately twelve dogs, killed five dogs and physically abused a 14-month-old baby.


According to the affidavit, the journal entries stated some of the following:


Pepe: “He was a 3-year-old Maltese. I kept him one night and killed him the next day. He tries to pull away but I don’t let him, instead I choke him out by strangling him over and over again. I leave him in my hot car for over 14 hours. On that day after dehydrating him, strangling over and over, beating him over and over, I force him to overheat. Then I take him and lay him down behind a bush by my house then I strangle him until he stops

flopping around. That’s how I know he’s dead”


Griffin: “I will do to him what I have done to everyone else. I strangle him the whole way home, then I strangle him when we get home. In the end he died from the heat. I had tried to strangle fucker before work but he just refused to die so I had to leave him in the hot, hot car for 3 ½ hours. Griffin would sit in the car and bake to death. When I get out of work and go to the car, I find him on my side of the car on the floor dead. He crawled onto the floor of the car and died”


Gus: “So now I take 4-6 hair ties and wrap them around his nose and his mouth. There was so much blood that he swallowed a lot of it. Just like he did when I knocked his teeth out. One was his K9 tooth, and he bled a lot. I also would choke him out in my room and bathroom any time I want”.


On November 14, 2024, SCALERO was arrested for possession or use of narcotic drugs and during a police interview, she admitted to owning the journal but claimed the stories “were just creative writings,” stated the press release. SCALERO also admitted to taking Pepe without paying for him.


On November 15, 2024, a person called the police after finding a deceased dog behind a bush on 710 West 8th Avenue. The furvictim had a leash around his neck, and appeared to have been there for an extended amount of time. After scanning the microchip, the name of the dog was found to be Pepe and registered to P.A.W.S. fur the Cause. Due to the level of decay, a necropsy was unable to be completed on Pepe.


Three days later, SCALERO was interviewed again and she admitted to her involvement in the abuse, torture, and deaths of Griffin, Gus, and Pepe.


SCALERO was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on two felony counts of cruelty to animals, one felony count of domestic violence cruelty to animals, and one misdemeanor count of theft.

ANTONIO ROSS arrested after one dog was found dead and another in poor health

- Illinois, USA -


The Joliet Police Department arrested 52-year-old ANTONIO ROSS (pictured).


According to the Department’s press release obtained by Voice For Us, on the early afternoon of November 11, 2024, officers were dispatched to a residence in the 300 block of Baker Avenue to conduct a welfare check on two dogs on the property.


In the backyard of the residence, officers found two dogs who were chained up. One of the two dogs was sadly deceased.

Police told me the deceased furvictim was a 10-year-old black Yorkie mix named George.

The live dog, whom police told me is a 1 ½-year-old tan Pitbull mix named Illinois, was in “very poor health”.


Joliet Township Animal Control took possession of both dogs.


Police said ROSS “claimed ownership of both dogs” and he was placed under arrest.

ROSS was charged with cruel treatment of animals and released on a notice to appear in Will County Courthouse to face his charges.


In my email to the Joliet Police Department I asked whether the cause of death of the deceased dog was known and I was told that a necropsy will be performed.


My question regarding Illinois’ wellbeing did not receive a response.


The case remains under investigation and no additional information is available.
