Bear’s receiver, Ishmael Zamora, awaits punishment for animal abuse

Sophomore wide receiver Ishmael Zamora has yet to be disciplined by the athletic department after an incident that was brought to the police’s attention on July 5.

In the video received by police, Zamora was seen beating his dog repeatedly with a belt and stepping down on him with his foot.

“I’m sorry for my actions,” Zamora said in an interview with the Waco Tribune-Herald. “I’ve owned the dog for 20 months. He’s perfectly healthy, and I love him very much. In the moment, I lost my temper trying to discipline him.
