Animal Abuser

Lois from Red Beach

🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
ZHENYA THORNTON SMITH, Pukekohe
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.

The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.

He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.

Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.

If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:

• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks

Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.

We cannot rely on authorities to protect them. That leaves us.

If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, reach out privately before proceeding.

Let’s close the loopholes. Let’s protect the vulnerable.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
