Shocking Case of Animal Cruelty Unfolds During Hurricane Milton
A heartbreaking scene unfolded as Hurricane Milton approached: a dog, tied to a fence and partially submerged in water, left to face the storm alone. The viral video of this abandoned dog has sparked outrage, but how did this shocking event happen?
A Rescue Amid the Chaos of Hurricane Milton
Just hours before Hurricane Milton hit Florida, Trooper Orlando Morales of the Florida Highway Patrol spotted a bull terrier tied to a fence along a busy interstate.
Trembling and growling, the dog, later named Trooper, was found standing in a pool of water. Morales quickly worked to rescue the dog, raising questions about how it was abandoned in the first place.
The Arrest and the Charges That Followed
Governor Ron DeSantis announced that 23-year-old Giovanny Aldama Garcia was arrested in connection with the abandonment.
Garcia faced a charge of aggravated cruelty to animals after he admitted to leaving the dog during an evacuation ahead of the hurricane. According to reports, Garcia’s mother let the dog out of their car, leaving it behind in the rising waters. Garcia saw the social media posts about the dog’s rescue and later tried to claim it.
Public Outrage: Justice Demanded for Trooper
The video of Trooper’s rescue quickly went viral, sparking fury from animal lovers across the country.
