Pets Thrown Off Bridge In Puerto Rico

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, Animal Control Workers seized and collected dozens of dogs and cats from housing projects and killed them by throwing them from a bridge. The animals were suppose to have been taken to a shelter.

The city hired Animal Control Solution to raid three housing projects after they warned the residents about the no-pet policy. People saw the animal control workers inject the animals with something that they said was a sedative before they took the animals away. The animals were supposed to be taken to a shelter but instead they were thrown 50 feet from a bridge in a neighboring town before dawn on Tuesday. Some of the animals were already dead buy the rest were alive when they were thrown. Some of the animals were able to survive and climbed to the highway badly injured. About 50 animals stayed there dead.

The mayor of the city says that he would cancel the city’s contract with Animal Control Solution and city lawyers are considering a lawsuit.

Horror Novelist Arrested For Cannibalism

In Mexico City, an aspiring horror novelist, named Jose Luis Calva, was arrested on Moday after police found the torso of his girlfriend in his closet, a leg in the refrigerator, and bones in a cereal box. Calva told the police that he had even boiled some of his girlfriend’s skin but didn’t eat it. Police also found chunks of fried meat in a pan but they have to do testing to see if they are human.

The police went to Calva’s apartment after neighbors complained of a horrible smell coming from it. That is when they found the body parts of his girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana, and bones. Galeana’s family had reported her missing three days before she was discovered. Calva told the police that he was a writer and a poet and police found a draft of a novel called “Cannibalistic Instincts.”

Calva is also being investigated in the killings of his ex-girlfriend who was found dead and dismembered in 2004 and an unidentified prostitute that was killed earlier this year. When being arrested Calva tried to run from the police but he was hit by a car and was hospitalized.
