Demand Justice for the killing of Hercules and Savvy
Every year, thousands of animals fall victim to abuse and violence. In a recent heartbreaking incident, two innocent dogs were brutally killed and abused. This act of cruelty is not only inhumane but also against animal welfare laws that exist to protect these voiceless creatures from such atrocities. The perpetrators must be held accountable for their actions to deter others from committing similar acts in the future.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), nearly 1 million animals are abused or killed each year due to domestic violence alone. This statistic does not even account for other forms of animal abuse, highlighting a dire need for justice and stronger enforcement of animal protection laws.We implore law enforcement agencies and judicial bodies involved in this case to ensure justice is served. We ask that they prosecute those responsible for this heinous crime with maximum penalties under law, setting a precedent that such cruelty will not be tolerated.Please sign this petition if you believe in justice for all beings, human or otherwise. Your signature can help bring about change and save countless lives from suffering similar fates as these two innocent dogs.
Help us get justice for the cruel killings of Hercules and Stavvy.
Hercules and Savvys owner had to make the difficult decision to rehome her 2 dogs. She thought she had found the perfect family..
On February 19th she took Hercules and Savvy to their new home. A home with children to play with and a fenced in yard to run in.
Kimberly Feltner Hobbs of Callaway FL only had Hercules and Savvy for 24 hours before locking them in their kennels and having them killed on February 20th. They were shot and then buried in their backyard near their childrens trampoline.
The original owner contacted Kimberly to see how the 2 were adjusting in their new home and was told one of the dogs had bit a friends child and the cops removed the dog. Another person, who runs an animal rescue and fostered one of the dogs previously, reached out to Kimberly letting her know that if things didnt work out she would like to be next in line to get the dogs. She told this person a different story. She said they were rehomed to a military couple in another state.
The owner contacted the Sheriffs office to get the report on what actually happened that day. The report says nothing of a child getting bit but that teenagers were actually harassing the dog. Kimberly had requested for Animal Control to pick BOTH Hercules and Savvy up. A short time later she called back to cancel that pick up. She canceled because they killed them.
In the report however Kimberly Hobbs told them a neighbor took the dog. The owner went to their home for answers and this is where the truth comes to light. The children callously informed her that both dogs had been shot and buried in the backyard. They were even willing to show her the graves by their trampoline. There was never any proof Hercules bit anyone. The husband of Kimberly Feltner Hobbs told her to leave the property immediately so she did. She took their kennels with her and this is when she realized by the holes in the bottom that they had locked these poor dogs up in their kennels and callously murdered them.
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office and Animal Control says nothing can be done to those that took the lives of Hercules and Savvy. These dogs need JUSTICE!
