Laredo, Texas – Police have arrested a 21-year-old man who left his dog tethered outside, without shade or water, in extreme heat, causing the dog’s death. On April 10, as the temperature soared to 100-degrees, Laredo Police responded to a report of possible animal cruelty at a home on Cortez Street.
Officers found a deceased dog on the ground in the intense sun. The brown dog was secured to a tether and had no food, water, or access to shade. The authorities arrested Luis Enrique Escalón for animal cruelty.

During the investigation, officers found more neglected dogs in Escalón’s home – one dog was confined to a small cage filled with feces. As reported by KGNS News, the surviving dogs were seized by animal control.
The investigation is ongoing – it is unclear what will happen to the surviving animals seized from Escalón’s home.
Thanks for reading! We appreciate you.

Why not deport the crazy looking scum bag?
This piece of garbage needs to experience the same pain as that innocent dog experienced.
DEATH PENALTY by ECHAIR SLOWLY!!!!!
I would like to suggest sending him back across the border. Call ICE and have him sent to El Salvador with the rest of the criminals who have entered our country Illegally.
Tether that subhuman piece of excrement in the middle of Death Valley without food or water on the hottest days of the year until he dies a slow and agonizing death, so we can all celebrate his demise.
MAJOR TROUBLE HERE!!! A VERY REAL DANGER TO HUMANS AND ALL ANIMALS!!! JAIL IS WAY TO GOOD FOR THIS ABHORRENT MONSTER!!!
HANG EM HIGH!!!
This piece of shit has no place in our world. If the courts had the balls to terminate these bastards then I guarantee animal torture and murder would soon stop as these ‘ motherfucks’ are just cowards who will only torture innocent animals that will not fight back! Bloody perps know nothing much is going to happen to them so they do not give a toss. But if they knew they were going to die then they would crap themselves in fright. Street Justice needed here most definitely .
Would I do it? Have I done it? My answer is ‘YES’ to both questions!!
J.W.
What a POS!!! I pray he never has the chance to own any animal ever again!
punishment fits the crime. put this evil b4stard in one of those French Legion sweat boxes, see how he likes it
Prosecute
This man deserves prison time, must be heavily fined and never allowed to own any pets or animals!
ugly fat ass freak why do you have pets if you will not care for them!
Why do you call him a fat ass, when he is clearly not fat! Is this the worst insult that you can think of— being fat? Seems to me that your own attitudes and hatred toward an entire group of people needs some self examination. Think before spewing that garbage next time, and visit your anger upon the “person” who actually perpetrated this reprehensible crime.
Disgusting and cruel and AGAINST THE LAW
We the public will be following this story.
Rather him to a pole in the heat with no shelter or water
Any humanoid waste that mistreats or kills animals should be put down.
Has no value on this earth and should be destroyed and then thrown in the gross garbage!!!Then the world would look better for all animals.

DEATH PENALTY. THATS THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS. PERIOD.
Sending him to El Salvador’s notorious prison CECOT is way too nice.
