In Fontana, California a 34-year-old man has been charged with suspicion of animal cruelty after allegedly stuffing his kitten into the freezer and then throwing her off his balcony on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Fontana Police Department’s press release, Lucio Lopez became angry with the kitten after the four-month-old little one walked into his apartment.
“Witnesses reported Lopez placed the kitten in the freezer. Lopez later took the kitten out of the freezer and began squeezing its body as the frightened kitten cried out in pain. Lopez threw the kitten off the second story balcony. The kitten struck the concrete floor resulting in major injuries to its chest and a fractured leg.”
Lopez initially fled the scene but police apprehended him in the area of Oleander and San Bernardino Avenues. On the Fontana Police Department’s Facebook page, the adorable kitten, now named Olive is improving.
“Update** Olive is doing well. She’s is recovering from a collapsed lung and will need surgery to fix her fractured hind leg. The caring and knowledgeable staff at Valley Animal Hospital of Bloomington (909) 877-2384 will be setting up a an account to receive donations to pay for Olive’s medical care.

Olive is scheduled for surgery on Friday. Get well soon little one.

Too old to be a “dreamer” but California’s best and brightest right? Jackass should have been in jail long ago and just the people we do not want in this country. Wait until someone gets killed by scum like this. No good and needs to have the same done to him.
And you’re assuming he’s illegal why, exactly? Because his last name is Lopez?
Has it even occurred to you that the only people living in that part of the country prior to the 1700’s, for the most part, other than Native Americans WERE people whose last names were things like Lopez, Dominguez, Carrillo, Renaldo, etc.?
In other words, your assumption is racist. Think before you write.
I don’t care where the piece of crap was born or whether he is called Lopez or O’Reilly! I don’t want animal abusers in my country! And while you are correct in what you say about Hispanics in California, you can’t overlook the fact that there had been a tremendous influx of people from Mexico over the years whether legal or not. It is not about this scum being Hispanic, it is about his being an abuser. I would send all animal abusers to the farthest reaches of outer space if it was up to me—regardless of race, creed, actions origin or anything else!
Sick man
Look at The human garbage his eyes you can see nothing but evil like to throw him off a roof I hope somebody in jail kills you
Deport this cowardly loser. Why is he here?
Not deport, eliminate!
Oh my gosh! what kind of monster is he to do that to an innocent animal who just walked into his house.
“Witnesses reported Lopez placed the kitten in the freezer. Lopez later took the kitten out of the freezer and began squeezing its body as the frightened kitten cried out in pain. Lopez threw the kitten off the second story balcony. The kitten struck the concrete floor resulting in major injuries to its chest and a fractured leg.” Excuse me but “suspicion of animal cruelty.” What the hell!? And he fled the scene. This guy is pscho. Lock him up with animal lovers and see what happens.
Another F*cking Psycho POS !!
Another innocent poor Animal…
Die You As*hole SOB !!
Stupid monster needs to be taken to the highest building in the city to see if he can bounce safely.
Oops….. guess that didn’t happen. Oh well.
BTW, some of you need to stop assuming that because someone is Hispanic, they’re illegal. Hispanics lived in that part of the country LONG before it became a US territory. It only proves how racist some of you are.
It says this was his kitten? This scumbag!i hope not! He deserves the same treatment! POS
Hey scumbag .. you know what would look good on you. A few bullets between your eyes!!!!
I volunteer to buy a freezer for him…..and then lock him in it forever.
HEY KARMA…… get this useless, worthless, waste of a human and show him some justice. There is absolutely NO REASON or excuse for torturing any animal….but a kitten?!?!? Nothing is as cute as little kittens….so this scuz bucket is a waste of air.
“Suspicion of animal cruelty”? What suspicion? Witnesses saw what this POS did! Another that needs to be put in jail and the key thrown away, what is this world coming to? Why must these poor little innocent animals have to suffer like this?
Please prosecute this asswipe before he is allowed to commit another crime towards animals and or humans.Fine him with vet bills and court time and never be allowed near another animal. He should also do some jail time, still this is not enough punishment. Please prosecute Severely!!!!!!
Legal or Illegal This is a Mentally ILL , Criminal Minded, Psychopath, and HE needs to be Removed from the General Population… Next it will be a small child, a little elderly person, he takes his anger and aggressiveness out on… Hell he knew what he did was Criminal when HE RAN… if He is illegal ship his ass out of here ASAP if he is legal Lock the Puke UP so he does not have the access to animals, or the General Population including his neighbors or something worse is going to happen … little Olive was lucky!!
Send the lousy scum back where it came from! He sought refuge here but would deny it to a kitten? I don’t want garbage like that in my country! Deport the garbage back to his own land fill!
Remember when I called someone else out on a racist comment, and YOU were the only person who defended her, saying “I don’t care where the piece of crap was born or whether he is called Lopez or O’Reilly! I don’t want animal abusers in my country!”
Well, now you’ve admitted that’s not true.
Why try to defend the other comment when your comment here is all about racism? Because I hit a nerve? Your implication that ANYONE wants animal abusers of any kind in this country is offensive. Most of this comment is about an immigration status that probably doesn’t even exist. That’s racist. Next time leave the comment alone or agree with it, but don’t try to pretend otherwise.
“Suspicion” of animal cruelty – exactly what do authorities need to charge this hunk of puke – a video? Witnesses saw Lucio Lopez throw this innocent defenseless kitten off a 2nd floor balcony – this maggot should have his lousy ass sitting in jail OR some massive street justice dealt to him – which is preferable – he needs and deserves a beat down and dumped in the gutter where he belongs.
Put this fucking bastard in a freezer and throw him off the balcony!!
There is a moron around every corner, it would seem. Wish we could hang him.
