just saw the most horrific video of some dude torturing a 9-month-old puppy and I'm literally shaking 
. Glad to see Gerald Young is behind bars now! 
The fact that they were able to catch him shows how much progress we're making in protecting those innocent animals 
. It's so cool that the SPCA has an hotline for reporting animal abuse, it's like everyone can be a hero by speaking up 
713-869-SPCA is saved in my browser lol 
seriously though, let's keep spreading awareness and supporting our furry friends 
it was so cool but also kinda sad thinking about all the other turtles that don't get to experience that 
anyway back to this case, i think it's super important for us as a society to be aware of animal abuse and support organizations that work to prevent it 
but at the same time, have you guys ever seen those documentaries where they show how some breeds are just naturally more aggressive than others? like what even is a 9-month-old puppy doing out alone in the first place? 
. and i totally get why law enforcement is urging people to speak up - it's so important we all do our part in preventing animal abuse. every little bit counts, right? 
keep sharing those videos and tips with the SPCA, and let's make sure this doesn't happen again! 
it's heartbreaking to see animals sufferin' like this... but let's not forget that we all have a responsibility to be witnesses to cruelty & report it 
& his little life has taught us that compassion matters. what can we do? 
it's a ripple effect, & together we can make a difference
Back in my day, I used to see these horror stories on the news and it just seemed like they were always from that one crazy person on the outskirts of town. But now, with social media and all, people are more willing to speak up and share what's really going on.
Now, I know it's not perfect, but it's a start. We gotta keep pushing for change and making sure our furry friends are safe.
. This is actually a great example of how social media can be used for good – it's already spread like wildfire and I'm sure more people will come forward with info to help bring Young to justice 
.
. It just goes to show that every small action can make a big difference when it comes to animal welfare. Let's keep using our voices to stand up against cruelty and support those who are fighting for justice – every voice matters! 
anywyz good job to the ppl who reported him & esp the Houston SPCA 4 takin action!! i think its awesome dat law enforcment is gettin more serious about animal abuse now lets all do our part & report those who r mistreating animals btw u can call 713-869-SPCA or upload ur vids on their website 
I mean, it's not like this has never happened before, right? and yeah, maybe the video was really disturbing to watch but at least it brought some attention to the issue... or did it just make everyone feel worse about the whole thing? 
I'm so glad the Houston SPCA is stepping up and making sure those responsible get held accountable. but can't we all just be kind to animals already? 
The fact that this dude was violenty throwing the puppy around is just horrific 
!
its like a matcha green tea with strawberry balsamic sauce and it was literally life changing 
. The fact that someone would do such things to a defenseless animal is just mind-blowing 
. But you know what's even more amazing? The SPCA and law enforcement are working together to bring people like Gerald Young to justice 
The power of kindness and compassion can be a game-changer, let's keep spreading love and care for all living beings 
.
Every time we think we're making progress on something, there's always a way for it to get twisted into something creepy 
. I mean, I'm glad someone caught that guy and Timmy is getting help, but can't we just focus on being kind to animals already?
