75-Year-Old Woman Uses Dog Food to Lure and Kill Puppy; 'Old Age' is Not a Shield for Cruelty

In Santa Ana, Orange County, a heinous animal abuse case recently occurred. A 75-year-old Asian woman, Ruan Han, allegedly used dog food to lure her own 9-month-old puppy under a van. She then slowly drove the vehicle, crushing the puppy's head with the rear left tire for about 15 seconds before driving away, leaving the severely injured puppy to die in agony on the roadside. This was not an accident; it was a meticulously planned murder. According to surveillance footage, she first carried the dog out of the car and placed it underneath. She then scattered dog food near the car door. As the puppy approached to eat, she drove forward, precisely running over the puppy. Prosecutors stated that the puppy's head was severely crushed, and the dog food used to lure it was found on the road. After being arrested, Ruan Han claimed that she decided to abandon the puppy because it chewed on her boyfriend's shoes, which annoyed him. She lied to her boyfriend, saying 'the dog was hit by a car,' and never admitted to being the perpetrator. Her boyfriend only learned the truth after her arrest. Orange County District Attorney Spitzer stated, 'This act of violence ended the life of an innocent puppy and traumatized those who watched the video.' He emphasized that they would prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, whether against humans or animals. Ruan Han has been charged with two felony counts of animal cruelty and faces enhanced penalties for using a vehicle as a deadly weapon. She was released on $20,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment in early November. The case is ongoing, and no final verdict has been reached. Old age is not an excuse for cruelty; true violence lies hidden in everyday indifference and selfishness. I envy foreign countries. When a crime is confirmed, they directly release the criminal's appearance without mosaic or covering their face, unlike Taiwan where they try every means to protect criminals 😑
