Trial delayed for Arkansas man accused of having sex with dogs, possessing child porn

An Arkansas man running a dog rescue out of his home was arrested and accused of “engaging in a sexual act with an animal,” police said.

Jonathan Ford, 32, was booked on a bestiality charge after an investigation into the Pope County man’s “I Love Lucy Pet Rescue” operation. Ford wrote on his website that he would take in abandoned and abused pets and help “find foster homes and permanent homes for animals in need” in rural Arkansas.

He faces two counts of bestiality, one count of conspiracy to commit commercial burglary and 15 counts of distributing, possessing or viewing material depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child, records show.

A female communicating online with Ford told the Pope County sheriff's office June 9, 2015, that Ford mentioned having sex with dogs and had sent pictures of the acts. The female's age was not released.

Authorities were not able to identify Ford in the photos provided by the female but said a dog seen on his Facebook account resembled a dog photographed.

While executing a search warrant, authorities found child pornography on Ford's electronic devices. Ford had indicated to the sheriff's office that such images, as well as photos of bestiality, could be found on the devices, according to an affidavit.

I Love Lucy Pet Rescue is registered in Ford's name, according to a filing dated May 19, 2015, in the secretary of state's office. The business was listed as being in good standing as of Tuesday.

Pope County Circuit Judge William Pearson, after the defense’s notice of intent to rely on mental disease or defect, ordered March 7 that a mental evaluation be conducted, according to a court document.

In a letter dated March 23, the Arkansas Department of Human Services’ Division of Behavioral Health Services requested more time for the mental evaluation.

Ford remained in custody at the Pope County jail Tuesday afternoon in lieu of $150,000 bond, records show. He was initially booked about 3:35 p.m. June 26, 2015, according to the jail.

Steven Caro, principal of this RANCH OF HORRORS was arrested and released, according to AC a criminal investigation for abuse/neglect and possibly other charges

To call this shithole a "sanctuary" is like calling a dog pound in Mexico a doggie spa...

Over 150 animals seized from Morongo Valley property

MORONGO VALLEY — Animal control officers seized at least 120 dogs and 40 cats from a property at 9333 Bella Vista Drive this week.

M.HIDESERTSTAR.COM

BUSTED BY ANIMAL CONTROL and under criminal investigation (all exact charges still TBA)!!! Animal Control reported they served a search warrant and seized over 150 animals, many unaltered and sick/unvetted, emaciated dogs, dogs with matted urine-soaked fur and parasites, need I go on.....?

I mean REALLY, you still want to defend this guy or take no responsibility for continuing to defend this ILLEGAL kennel and rescue operation people were warned about for a long time? SHAMEFUL. The night before the raid several rescuers removed 30+ dogs off his property, meaning he had close to 200 (!!!) animals on his property with allegedly only 1 current caretaker (his nephew).

The rescuers who removed dogs are said to be in compliance reporting each animal, the animal's microchip number and condition to the investigating AC agency.

According to eye witnesses there were said to be dead animals o the property, mediocre make shift kennels with no protection from the harsh elements in deadly temperatures, kennels with no water in the scorching heat of Palm Springs CA. These photos taken on 6/22 would correlate with their statements! This was not only a illegal kennel operation but looks like a RANCH OF HORROR!!! Photos don't lie.

The top right photo shows 'Othello', a Shepherd Mix DEAD. He was laying halfway in his doghouse in this photo.

RIP Othello

 Caro admitted in a video (since remove off his page) that the dog was left in the sun with no water and possibly chained up and died under his watch. Eye witnesses describe the "smell of death, urine and feces lingering" on this 2.5 acre parcel where close to 200 animals were housed. It is stated that AC is allegedly digging for dead dogs but this is unconfirmed.

Steven Caro, principal of this RANCH OF HORRORS was arrested and released, according to AC a criminal investigation for abuse/neglect and possibly other charges (TBA) is on the way. This rescuer has been known to Animal Control and many rescuers for decades.

A friend who is a veterinarian warned me about this rescuer when I started rescuing 20 years ago when Caro was operating in a different area.

Many people were FULLY aware yet CHOSE to look the other way, deflect or make excuses, sent dogs to this man because "he had a good reputation on social media" without verifying him or performing a premise check, or do ANY vetting.

Would you send your child to a stranger without a premise check, no proper checking/vetting.... Why is it any different to send a dog in harms way? If you buy the B/S and pathetic excuses, trying to make AC the boogeyman, if you want to ride the "meaning well" train of ignorance and deflect in denial whilst rescuers like this are continuing to compromise and hurt animals:

 

For the ones who wanted to help by removing dogs off his property, this note is from Animal Control: "This is an ongoing criminal investigation regarding potential animal cruelty. It has been shared on various public and private posts that dogs were removed from this property in the dark of the night. While the intentions of rescues/individuals may have been helping these dogs out of a bad situation, not reporting dogs in poor health and physical condition aids in covering up the abuse.

If any of the dogs removed were in poor health and/or required immediate veterinary care, you have an obligation to report these dogs to the investigating authority. Failing to do so, could indicate that you are INTERFERING IN A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OR HIDING EVIDENCE OF A CRIME.

We encourage anyone that took a dog from this property to call Animal Health Investigator, Christy Hamrick at 1-800-472-5609 (callers should ask to be routed to Investigator Hamrick's voicemail) or e-mail her at Christy.Hamrick@dph.sbcounty.gov
Dogs that did not belong to YOU or your rescue could be the legal property of someone else."

Coward skins his dog alive and shares photo on Facebook, claiming he enjoyed it! Sign Now!

SICK!!

This coward on the left skinned his dog alive and then shared the photo of the poor animal on social media, bragging about what he had done.

He claims that he enjoyed every moment of the skinning process, revealing that he gave the Staffordshire Terrier type-dog some pils in order to fall asleep and, at the end, organized a photo session, ordering him to ‘sit’. The lowlife claimed he had no regrets about what he had done and actually enjoyed the skinning process.

Just now

The attacker has been identified as Uzya Baktybay and lives in Taraz, in the southern part of Kazakhstan.

Some of his friends mocked the dog that had just been skinned alive and apparently supported Baktybay’s actions.

Livid netizens took to Facebook and VKontakte (a popular social media platform in Russia) to express their outrage and condemned the ruthless attack. 

Facing a storm of critics, Baktybay deleted the photo and terminated his account altogether, proving he is nothing but a lame coward. However, the photo was saved by several netizens and was posted up once again. A flyer condemning this sick attack and requesting justice is now also circulating online.

Netizens also discovered some other disturbing photos on his social media profile (before the account was deleted) that showed Baktybay organizing a series of dog fights in his garage.

According to Article 316 of the Criminal Code of Kazakhstan, mistreating animals is an offence that is punishable by law.

We, the undersigned, sincerely hope a police investigation will commence as soon as possible and this ruthless individual will be severely punished for these sick deeds. This man is an extremely dangerous individual and must be held accountable for his actions at all costs.

The news has received extensive media coverage. Here are just a few links where you can read more about this incident:
