JEANETTE OLIVO arrested for stabbing a Chihuahua while he was out on a walk with his young guardian

- Illinois, USA -


A sweet and innocent Chihuahua is safe and is recovering after being stabbed multiple times by a stranger, while being walked by his teenage mom.


The incident happened on the evening of Monday, December 26, 2022, while the 12-year-old furbaby named Bebe, was out on a walk with his 15-year-old mom in the 6600 block of West Irving Park Road in the Dunning neighborhood on the Northwest Side.


A building's security cameras captured the vicious attack and the distressing footage showed 61-years-old JEANETTE OLIVO (pictured), approaching Bebe and the teenage girl, and stabbing Bebe for no reason whatsoever.


When the girl ran away, OLIVO chased her with the knife, and stabbed Bebe several more times. OLIVO then ran off and dropped the knife about a block away. The girl’s father, Sergio Macias, caught OLIVO and held her until police arrived.


Authorities took OLIVO into custody and charged her with one felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal and one felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.


The amazing nonprofit Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation stepped in and thanks to the generous donations received, more than $9,000 raised in just two days, Bebe underwent a life-saving surgery which allowed him to leave the hospital on Wednesday and be back home with his loving family.

Ms. Ana Gabriela Jasso, the teenager’s mom, said: “He's doing great. He's eating good. He was even barking with the other dogs, so that's a good sign to them.”


Part of a Facebook post by Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation read: “WE DID IT TOGETHER - WE SAVED BEBE! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your encouraging words, prayers, and overwhelming generosity 💙”


The nonprofit also expressed gratitude to Premier Veterinary Group of Chicago which “helped by reducing our bill as well - thank you caring people 🙏🏼”


During her first court appearance on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, OLIVO’s bond was set at $25,000. Online records show she is still in custody and should she be able to post bond, she has been ordered not to live with or own any animals.

OLIVO is due back in Skokie Courthouse on the morning of Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

LUKE PROFFIT sentenced to only 18 months behind bars for savagely stabbing his dog 12 times

- Sunderland, United Kingdom -


On May 30, 22-years-old LUKE PROFFIT (pictured) appeared in Newcastle Crown Court and after pleading guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, he was sentenced to only 18 months behind bars and banned from owning animals for 18 years.


On December 16, 2021, PROFFIT stabbed his German Shepherd named Bella, 12 times and left her to die on Hendon Beach in Sunderland.

Members of the public found the furbaby laying on the beach with severe injuries to her body and neck.

Sadly, despite efforts to save her, Bella passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest.


In a news release, Northumbria Police said that upon arrest, PROFFIT told officers: “It’s not illegal to kill your dog.”


Wildlife Enforcement Officer PC Peter Baker, with Northumbria Police welcomed the sentence handed down to PROFFIT and had the nerve to say: “We are a nation of animal lovers, and it is always disappointing and upsetting when crimes like this happen. I hope this case sends out a strong message – anyone who hurts or abuses animals will be brought to justice.”


Every time I hear the expression “We are a nation of animal lovers” my blood boils!!!

I feel that it’s offensive toward all the innocent animals who are tortured, abused, and killed in the UK and do NOT receive any justice!!!


Judging by the ridiculous, scandalous, and outrageous sentences I see that are handed down in animal cruelty cases, I’d say the UK has a lot to learn from the U.S. judicial system!!!


Some of you may remember that with effect of June 29, 2021, the maximum prison sentence for animal cruelty was raised from six months to five years with the new Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.


PROFFIT is one of the first offenders to be jailed since the new law and yet, the sentence handed down in this case is as ridiculous and offensive as it is the expression: “We are a nation of animal lovers.”


A press release by GOV.UK stated at the time: “The more stringent sentences will be some of the toughest in Europe. The Act will help ensure courts are able to enforce extended penalties for those who cruelly mistreat any animal, sending a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.”


Yeah, I can see the message ….


I have emailed Northumbria Police Chief Constable Keenen and requested a picture of Bella and inquired about her age.

If I get a response, I will add the information to this article.
